I’m having some problems with my 2008 s40 2.0D .I assumed it was turbo related as the symptoms That are present are rough startup, poor mpg and poor performance. I removed the large egr pipe on top. I then noticed where the egr pipe meets roughly the MAF sensor the joining rubber pipe that goes to intake manifold is covered in thick oil inside. I also noticed there is a broken wire to the fuel temperature sensor. I intend cleaning the egr and anything I can access. Should I been assuming that the turbo is failing or is there a chance fixing the fuel temperature sensor would help with the performance. The last owner said he scanned a fault saying” turbo underboosting:!code p0229, i think.It’s got 350,000 miles so it’s never gonna be perfect. Thanks for any input in advance.
