Re: Time to fix my V70 XC. P0420 smells rich too

A good amount but that's a separate oil leak from the pan i believe and not from the turbo.

Re: Time to fix my V70 XC. P0420 smells rich too

So I noticed the turbo is leaking some oil. And Because of it, the exhaust smoke is slightly blue. Maybe that's why I'm getting the code. Some oil going through the exhaust causing the o2 to fail? Ugh.

Re: Time to fix my V70 XC. P0420 smells rich too

No. I actually just got it inspected. So I'm good there. So, for the hell of it I wanted to see if it really is running lean and pulled the plugs. The tubes are full of oil and there's pools of oil laying on top of the head. Checked oil cap and seal is hard as a rock so I just ordered a new one. Plu...

Time to fix my v70 xc. P0420 smells rich too

Hey guys Newly posting but have lurked for a bit. I've had this issue for a while now but haven't really tried to fix yet. My 02 v70 xc turbo with 160k on it has the P0420 code. I've search the site and found this code pop up a lot but it always seems to be with vehicles different than mine. Anyway,...
