I have one with a dead motor and good trans and one with a good motor and dead trans.
Various simpler items have been removed from both but I want to get rid of at least one whole car
First up the dead motor good trans car because the up arrow flashes on my V70 sometimes and the rear driveshaft is already gone.
My V70 also needs a steering rack and this car has a good rack with all new tie rods control arms struts done not too long before it blew off an oil line and seized the engine.
So I know the engine is junk and don't care about it Ive been allotting an hour or 2 here and there to it when its in the shade.
Most of the front of the engine is stripped off I attacked the back the other day. Today I removed the Cat and downpipe , turbo and exhaust manifold . The cat and pipe are in good shape but in looking around online I'm seeing the V70 has a different part number so I'm wondering if I should save it for my car or scrap it? Anyone know whats different about the V70 downpipe that would make this unusable?
The turbo worked fine and seems fine looking around it should fit my V70 but maybe only works on other 1998's ?
The exhaust manifold is fine came right off , is that a multi year item or will it only work on a 1998 ? A quick look at rock auto incorrectly seems to show a non turbo manifold labelled as a turbo manifold
The rack should work for me so that will come off next , as far as the transmission goes I'd like to swap it in in place of the AWD trans in my wagon if required so what else will I need to take that I may not be thinking about , harness or brackets or random doo dads?
This water pipe that goes across under the turbo looks like something I should try to save not sure if its the same as my V70 but its quite the sculptured work of art and doesn't look like an easy item to get on short notice so while I'm here I might as well.
Obviously I'll save the oil and water turbo lines , these things are so much nicer to deal with without an angle gear in the way that mine could ready to explode any moment is entirely possible
while im in here what else is a must pull ?
