Cleaned and reinstalled the throttle body, idle control valve, TPS, airbox and exhaust with custom made mount and it seems to have helped with most of my issues, have water escaping from just after the cat (dripping) should this join in the exhaust have a gasket? Going to have to take it apart...

Made a custom mount using a new mount with added Sikaflex (just like Tiger Seal) no pictures unfortunately but filled in all the gaps on the normal mount and tried to force the hole for the exhaust to go through as high up as possible. Seems to have worked so far, let's see how long it lasts...

It will have to wait till next weekend :smile: took me so long cleaning and reinstalling the throttle body, idle control valve, TPS, airbox and exhaust with custom made mount that I ran out of time/light the good thing being it seems to have helped with most of my issues, although inevitably has...

Think I am giving this a go tomorrow, how long did it take you in total? I currently have no exhaust and most of the air intake missing so that will all have to go back on first

Look's great, love volvo's, especially older ones!

Welcome, enjoy it!

Will let you know tomorrow if it makes a difference :up:

Love your honesty 😂

Using that technique it did have 4 dashes so doesn't look like an injector fault, have found a hole in one of the pipes coming off the airbox so will fix that temporarily until I can get another one sorted and am in the middle of cleaning out the TB butterfly and the TDC sensor, also don't have...

Is their anyway I can check them to see before I get new?

Have driven up north in the Ph1 and when I was stuck in some traffic was getting the revs hunting but not all the time and sounding rougher than normal and was making me think maybe extra air getting in and then seems to have a misfire at low revs, seems fine when moving properly, any common...

Now that's a proper mount :smile:

They look great, can't quite read the bottles what did you use?

Exactly, I don't mind paying for some things but £20+ seems a bit much for a bit of rubber/plastic even if it has got a brand attached to it!

That looks good, if the Tigerseal fails might have a go at making some of my own :up:

No problems

Is their a 'how to' for changing the accelerator cable? It's something I need to do too

Yep anytime, just shout

Cheers, that's a hazard of using it a lot, keeps me entertained :smile:

Might give that a whirl first then, worth a go :smile:

+1

That might be worth a go then as well, don't really want to make it any noisier if i can help it

Vice is the way to go then, will put it on the job list :up:

Go on, you know you want to :smile:

Had milltek on a Mk4 Golf R32, sounded epic and didn't drone at all

What exhausts are people running and would recommend?

Sounds like one of the fun jobs for me to do :-)

Definitely don't need black then, saw something about putting it in the freezer helps contract it to get it in easier, just don't want to buy another standard one and it disintegrate like the one I have now has.

That's what I am worried about, won't be using it on motorways all the time but do occasionally need to get in to London and up to Manchester and don't want to not want to take it, it's the droning that is annoying me at the minute, my son wouldn't come in it initially without ear defenders on!!

Will try that, think it will be worth a try, don't really want to spend £140 and then find I still am not happy with it
