Replacing Turbocharger (TC): Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Volvo C70, 2001 Volvo C70, 2000 Volvo C70, 1999 Volvo C70, and 1998 Volvo C70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
In a number of cases the turbocharger (TC) has been changed unnecessarily. This happened because some play has been felt when checking (the shaft floats on an oil film)
Play should always be checked before replacing, to determine if the bearings are worn.
The turbocharger (TC) should always be replaced complete:
- plug all terminals on the old turbocharger before it is sent away
