Hi All,
I have had the turbo governor replaced just over 2 weeks ago. So far looking ok.
Volvo said that if it was the engine mount then it would most likely show up as a problem more frequently because they are pressurised at startup. They said in their experience the engine mount has never cured this kind of problem (but clearly this is still something that needs to be considered).
They said they pressurised the system and held it to check for leaks, as none were found they ruled out leaks.
The next step was to replace the governor part number (30637251). Cost £114 +vat.
If this doesn't cure it then they were pretty sure the culprit would be the turbo (!!!). If that were the case I think I'd seek an 2nd opinion to be sure and also consider a recon turbo as I suspect a new one from Volvo would cost lots!
I'll post as soon as it goes wrong or even better :-) in some weeks time if it is all going OK (please god).
Cheers,
Rob
