I have got as far as the national service manager and await his response.

It is a shame that the service given by the dealer ...

Hi Marco, yes a 2.3 Turbo. The 2.0L is a T5. I would love to get more bottom end out of the 2,0L. Any ideas?

After noticing the odd waft of fuel around my '95 850 turbo i read up on the "common" problem of cracking/weeping around the heat shield lugs. I got underneath and found a wet track coming from a lug.

I think the OP means the second nipple on the air intake (see photo below) just downstream of the MAF.

I replaced this hose when I did my PCV recently and didn't know what to do with it either.

There was only 1 nipple there (which connects to the TCV)on the original hose on my 94 turbo Wagon ...
