2006 xc90 2.5T Oil on Turbo

Post by tsandmeyer »

We purchased a 2006 xc90 2.5T 123,000 this weekend and have until tomorrow to return it if we find any mechanical problems. My husband put it up on a rack and found what he believes is the turbo charger under the car to have quite a bit of oil on it. Course the dealership has steam cleaned the engine well. We love our European cars but don't want another money pit. Is this a deal breaker??? Please advise if you have any input on the cost of such a repair. Would you run it back to the dealer as quickly as possible. Going to try and have a mechanic look at it tomorrow if possible.

I have never seen one that did not have oil on the turbo. Out of the 400 or 500 XC90 2.5T's I've seen, every single one has oil on the turbo. It's quite normal.
