Put a self tapper in it with a rubber whish contracts trapping the self tapper.Its a good mod and it picks up alot better as well and you can hear more turbo chatter

And then you say thaey are all connected!? lol I like this thread and the stuff you post Rick, makes me smile sometimes

Don't get involved!I'm still waiting for that clip you posted for me last year which never happened.

Lol, you said we were getting bitchy with you, are the painters in dear, clean tampon!?

As I explained last year the clip was sent in the post to you, what happened to it I don't know but what you seem to forget is you didn't pay a penny for it, not even the postage so it's not like you even lost anything!!

Other people got the stuff I posted out, as was stated in the thread! So if you want to have a keyboard fight then find someone else that actually gives a sh1t!

Look here I don't really have the patients for this. Who is the key board warrior here then trailing through my post finding something to pick on.Yes you did say it was free and I was banking on it so you might not give a **** but there is people in need of things or who rely on peoples say so. You might enjoy this because your bored and have no life.But do your self a really big favour and right your own post instead of jumping on the band wagon .I also notice that 960kg hasn't said anything yet but says thankyou to your info.This is another guy who goes buy what ever vadis says like its a bilble or something.eg volvo says do this so you must dot it.If vadis said go and jump in a fire Keith would you do it.with cars you have to use your common sence or use what you have to hand .What a waste of a topic ruin again.

I'm no keyboard warrior and certainly not trawling through you're posts to find things to pull you up on, I've way better things to do than that! I posted the clip to you as already stated, I can't control royal mail can I!? If you were that desperate for it you could have collected it or paid recorded delivery on it, but yet I do something nice and end up out of pocket to help you out and you throw it in my face any chance you get, that's gratitude for you!

I have a life rick, I have a full time job, I have a wife and kids too before you ask! I have my toys too, cars, push bikes etc. And I like to play with them unlike some who like to
throw them out the pram!! I don't follow vadis, I do what I know and what I think is right, and I ask the very knowledgeable people on here for there advice and knowledge! You seem to have a bee in you're bonnet with me for no good reason!? I can take the time to reply to you're thread cos you know what, you amuse me, you claim to know so much but ask and say daft things and rub people who try and help up the wrong way!

Yes, i am here reading your crap again, i don`t know why i really bother but i do get a laugh at your silly Incompetence.

You are really a silly man to complain about all those that go to help you with your car problems.

Nobody can ever get through to you, especially about 95ron or 98ron....you slag me off to blazes in one thread then admit and say your motor goes fantastic on 98ron in another thread, you are really a loser in my estimation ......maybe you don`t like others that know more than yourself.......you have already had a T4 and stripped it to bits and ruined it also a T5 you strip because you ruined that and have to sell in bits, you have no common sense with motors at all, but only know how to ruin them, well this new to you T4 will end up in bits in 6 months, while owning these cars you learn nothing of them and still have to ask stupid questions about your newly found T4 when you should already know the answers ....or is it the attention you desire?......well you get no more from me only abuse, as that is what you have asked for mentioning me in your post.
I am far from a keyboard warrior and do only try to help those that need helping even if Vadis comes into it, it takes time finding things and also to display the findings in pictures and you sit there and just take the pi$$ just because you know nothing better........

I do hope you enjoy your latest upgrade involved moving your "Relocated Horns" perhaps removing the windscreen may help the back window to blow out instead of using the A/C you removed

Keep Cool!!

Wow what a read.Im affended by you calling me a loser and being incompetence im no loser.Im a well educated man i qualifyed as a mechanic back in the late 90s and im back at college in the evenings furthering my education to better myself. I never did not follow it through afterwards due to circumstances which i wont go into.Im from a ford back ground where carbs was,single point injection and multi point injection.I dont no everything and technology has changed over the years and is doing every day.I really like my volvos i dont go round polishing the badge everyday or get bufty with it like some do on here.I like to have have with it and with this T4 i plan to do track days with it and have fun ,not stick it in the garage and never use it.I really do regret getting rid of my last T4 and the day it went i really missed it and i new i wanted another,I tried an 850 saloon which i enjoyed from my teenage days when you could get away with alot and not worry about a thing.The 850 saloon was a 2.5 auto which i converted to a T5 manual all by myself with no help and did a full wiring loom change ,why you might ask well i enjoyed the fun of making something and driving it which i had to break in the end because i needed the money,why your proberly thinking,well let me tell you .I had to down side house this year with mortgages getting expensive and it was the car or my house and family,so the car had to go.i dont go round changing cars every week Keith.So i got this T4 and it isnt mint by a long shot i can tell you that its got its problems and im sorting them as i go and im enjoying doing it.I am gonna strip stuff out of it to the way i like it like the(AIRCON) and other things.Ive owned performance vechiles over the years such as fiesta rs turbos,escort rs turbos,and they was heavily tuned and they didnt run on 98 ron they got normal fuel like 4 star or normal unleaded with octane booster.I do no what i am talking about i dont no everything i learn no things everyday,i dont mind critism one bit i will take it on the chin im no mard ar*e and i aint perfect either

Keith is a good help to those on the forum and has offered me good advice and on one occasion has gone out of his way to help me. So I really appreciate this, although our opinions differ at times.

I find sometimes, Keiths opinion of doing everything by the book doesn't always wash with others on the forum. Although in an ideal world, where money was no object Keith is right but most of us are on a budget. If our cars were nearly new and worth a lot of money then replace with all genuine parts by all means and do everything by the book. Most people who buy a T4 buy because it's a very cheap performance bargain and do a lot of the work themselves as a hobby. They simply cannot afford to pay full price for new parts and see it's not worth spending all that cash on a car worth a grand. I will always take a risk with some used parts as I can't afford to tune my car and buy all genuine parts for general maintenance. From research on the forums and my own mistakes, I've found what parts are worth going genuine, mainly parts that are not easily accessible if they fail. eg headgasket. Things like a fuel pump which takes 20mins to change if it begins to fail or an ICV, BCS why not take a chance if it's a 10th of the price. Half the Volvo's on the forums, even the good ones, have used parts fitted at some point.
Also a lot of used parts are fitted due to troubleshooting. If you went out and bought 5 genuine items before you found the true problem then you'd be bankrupt in no time.

Just my 2cents.
