I think I need to go and plumb in my boost gauge before worrying about my hoses then. Thanks!abscate wrote: 06 May 2025, 10:00 You won’t lose power from collapsed lines. The turbo lines are under pressure, the SAS and purge lines won’t cause power loss.

Hard vacuum lines 1998 Volvo S70 T5
Hi everyone! I have been lurking on this wonderful site for years. I am currently in the process of Stage Zeroing my daily driver aqua green T5 auto. Most of the rubber lines in this car were shot when I bought it, and I bought two kits of silicone lines, one rated for coolant and one for vacuum/air ...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?
Are you replacing all the cooling lines or just the connection 'O' rings at the radiator?

Re: How do we know our airbags still work on 1998 or so?
Someone pulled an illegal left out of a gas station in front of my old 1998 S70 NA with 260k roughly on the dash. Was a rainy day and brakes with ABS wasn't enough to stop in time. Hit the corolla going about 20-30 mph? Really good impact that totaled both cars, and all the airbags went off fine. We ...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?
I replaced cabin and engine filters today, prepping for a radiator refresh (new hoses, radiator, tstat and sensor). Not looking forward to replacing the oil cooling lines, but they look leaky and I have new shiny ones that are read to go!
