Re: 98 V70 Hissing PTC

I was just working in that area of my 98 V70 today and didn't hear any hissing from the ptc nipple. I wouldn't think that the pcv system could give enough pressure to make that kind of sound. Just my thoughts.

Re: 1998 v70 xc boost pressure testing

I did my pressure test this afternoon. I didn't do it in the best of places(at Centennial airport) it was tuff to here with all the air planes taking off. I found a small leak at the idol air control valve and the vacuum tree. No leaks in the turbo hoses. But the shocker was that I found a leak at t...

Re: 1998 v70 xc boost pressure testing

Well I haven't done a pressure test yet, but I just installed new turbo hoses and a new compressor bypass valve with spring. I still can't get boost to read over 3 psi on my boost gauge. I do have a manual boost controller on the car, with it set to max. I thought it would be a better idea to do the...

Re: 1998 V70 Fuel Gauge never reads full

Same thing was happening on my 850 since I bought it. I took out the fuel sending unit and it was smashed at the bottom. I remember the lady who I bought it from said she his a big bump and it had started reading funny. The tank looked fine, since it was plastic, it didn't leave any dents on the out...

Re: 1998 V70 No turbo boost.

Sorry, I did have the intake hose off while I was replacing the boost hose and the waist gate hose, I put my hand in and spun the turbine. I can hear the turbo spool but I get no boost on my gauge or feel any. It was 60 degrees here today so I wouldn't think it was frozen. Next week I'm going to try...

Re: 1998 V70 No turbo boost.

Thanks for the advice. I was trying to get the shroud off to check that clamp on the top of the intercooler but couldn't get it off. How would I get that shroud piece off?
