V70 very inter power loss cured !!
This fault has been bugging me for a couple of years, it's been very intermittant & gives no fault codes : a sudden power loss in mostly second & third gear with no excess smoke from the exhaust. I think most of us are well aware of the weird & wonderful intermittant power losses caused by the fuel filter & the head scratching fault codes that arise from the fuel starvation; this next fault involves air starvation, hopefully this will help some people out:
The trusty D5 Cover removed The inlet pipe to the turbo is not easy to reach but I'm determined to leave the top engine mount & crossbar in place The turbo creates quite a high localised vacuum in the inlet pipework, the rubber inlet pipe has denatured & gone very soft. Under heavy boost the vacuum is sufficient to squash the pipe & stop the airflow. My paws are quite big, it's a bit of a struggle. I end up laying on the engine but that's cool 'cos I love this car Luckily the jubilee clamps are moveable, nearly there now The vacuum has crushed the pipe so hard it's split. Notice the pipe is so soft I can easily squash it into a ball The new pipe is very hard & I struggled to get the crankcase ventilation spigot in for 15 minutes before I cheated & gave the plastic body a chamfer with the Dremmel Job done. It's been a bit of a tussle but I'm well pleased to have finally cured this fault, the car's never driven better. Also I've just got the all clear from a year long cancer scare. It's been a good day pipe part No 30636854 Last edited by hobbyhorse; Mar 28th, 2009 at 22:12. |

The fact that the vacuum collapsed the weakened from oil pipe also shows that the engine would benefit from a larger air filter and pipework to the turbo ... In an ideal world there would be no vacuum at the turbo charger inlet ..

Cant believe I missed your original post at the end of March as I thought I was diligent in reading diesel posts , just makes me think I have probably missed some other useful posts as well , great photos and well done beating the cancer . I had the turbo off my D5 looking for a reason for intermittant power loss over past 30k miles but no repeat at all since end of Jan but nothing done to repair except unplugging and reconnecting various sensors so I am inclined to think the original cause is still there , I did check the turbo pipes but I recall the inlet pipe being soft as you describe and thought that was normal ! I will get this changed asap and have a closer look for splits .
