Removing The BLOWN Turbo On My Volvo V70R Was Quite The Job!

Removing the turbo from my Volvo V70R is something I've been looking forward to... And dreading.


Today I embark on the FINAL mechanical repair on my 2005 Volvo V70R. Ever since I've had the car running "correctly", I've noticed a huge plume of oil smoke every time I'm under boost for a few seconds and let off. Turns out, my turbocharger has a bad seal and is leaking oil. This oil leakage caused my PCV system to clog prematurely, and over time, would cause my catalytic converter to fail. So, out the turbo goes!

But, before the turbo comes out, my uncle and I are going to bleed the brakes!


I am sending the turbo off to NM Turbo Co to be rebuilt and slightly upgraded.




Thanks for watching!
