I recently purchased a '98 S70 with 105,000 on the clock. Seemed to be owned by a older person.
- Burnt valve
- Full brake job
- PCV
- and the list went on and on. I probably completed $5,500 worth of repairs. Real mess for low miles.

Don't recall working on any of the turbo stuff.

Another victory for the shifty characters on this Board, coming through in the clutch.

Glad we could be of some help, Evan...
