So I ordered the PCV and silicone ETC kit from IPD and spoke with a gentlemen on the phone when I did it. He was great to deal with. Shipping was very fast and parts arrived perfect.

Spent two days putting the parts on (work and family obligations but got all except one hose accounted for. There ...

Getting ready to order the PCV kit and some silicone hoses from IPD. As I have never ordered from there is it safer to just order straight from volvo or are they a great resource for the Volvo Community. If anyone with IPD is on here I mean no offense just checking before I spend 150 dollars.

He was supposed to send me a Factory O2 sensor he had on order when it came in but his excuse was that he was in and out of hospital with health problems. At this point I no longer wanted to talk or deal with him so I stopped contacting him. So the karmic justice may have dealt with him long before ...

So after talking here and talking to a few mechanics at work I decided it was time to check what I should have checked years ago. I was told by the previous owner that the pcv system was replaced. Small inspection of the fire trap with flashlight looked like he was being honest. I was wrong. I ...

Devoloped a p1617 error before I started tearing things apart. This is a new code that was not thrown several years ago before it took a long nap

Not gonna lie wish I had looked here before I tore apart. But these vacuum problems need,fixed either way. Any good recommendation s for lines. Or a chart to what size for each hose. Is silicone hose good for these.

O2 was swapped less then 5k ago. But was not a Bosch unit. Tonight I got a little crazy and started tearing into car. Turbo pipe is full of oil. Like caked and dripping. Plus half the vacuum lines were brittle to point of breaking. Even if turbo is not toast I have a major leak somewhere in system ...

After reviewing my threads and other misc information based on what I did before. Pretty sure my turbo is toast. Explains almost all the symptoms I was having. Gonna tear into it tonight and see what I can see. I found a used turbo locally for 100 dollars which would still be cheaper then paying ...

Just went thru my old posts and I did replace the ect but used and AutoZone one. Gonna try an oem tomorrow. If that fixes it gonna be slightly upset about letting the car sit for several years lol

Thanks for all the great info.
I work for a large European dealership. We carry volvo as well. I will see what I can get one for and replace it this week. Will keep this thread updated.
