2001 xc 70 Turbo seal replacement

Post by moneypenny1 »

Please can any one tell me if it is complicated replacing the seals on my Turbo. The Gasket kit is very cheap at Volvo but can this job be done a myself-I am very handy with motor cars and can do most repairs but worry that i may get in over my head. Has any one done this and do you have instructions?

Thank you

Seal replacement isn't the problem...from what I understand, getting the turbo balanced after the replacement is. I have no idea how it is balanced...maybe a professional rebuilder is best...or maybe google it and see what you find.
