I'm about to tackle this type of job, My 2001 V40 2.0T has been off the road for many years and i'm looking at possibly getting it back on the road.
Current known issues are all brakes seized-ish (it will roll with lots of effort from the engine), heater not getting hot - poss leak somewhere as system was empty but after filling it runs fine and engine stays at normal temp but it seems to me loosing slowly, oil leak from turbo (the small oil feed gasket thats a pain to change) & will need cam belt! The brake pipe has burst somewhere above the fuel tank and I cant see the burst with the tank in situ. The question is does the pipe feed from the master cyl routing to the NS caliper then does a continuous pipe run from the NS rear caliper to the OS rear caliper or does the feed from the Master cyl route to a pressure regulator above the tank then pipes from that feed both OS & NS rear calipers? as you can gather I have not had a good look at the underside yet due to the location of the car at the moment. I'm thinking its borderline time to scrap but everything else is in such decent condition Im thinking it would be a crime to break it. Thanks to ITSv40 for the excellent detail in his account of pipe replacement! cheers |
