Turbo Gauge doesn't work after radiator replacement
So I initially posted here: https://volvoforums.com/m_82283/mpage_2/key_/tm.htm
With a link to video of my volvo leaking fluids, and I replaced my radiator myself. It took me most of the day, since it was my first time doing anything like this, and one of the bolt nuts came off the frame, and I had to go buy a dremel to grind it off. Everything seems to work fine, there is no fluid leaking. But the turbo dial doesn't change/show anything. If you accelerate hard, there is no indication from the turbo gauge. What a could be causing the turbo gauge to stop working?

o yea, and I broke one of the smaller hose/line clamps. It was all rusted out, and when I tried to pry it open with a screw driver to get the hose off, it broke. Where can I buy this? pepboys didn't have it, do I need to go to Volvo to get it? There are 4 lines that are about the same size, I think tranmission fluid going through some of them, I'm not sure. But all 4 lines have the same clamp thing.

I just went through the same thing with my transmission cooler lines. I broke one of those clamps. They are dealer or FCPGROTON item. Pricy too at $4.50 each. I took JPN's advice putting them on and used snap ring pliers to ease them open enough to slip over the fitting on the radiatior. Get it over the hose end first and then spread it open a little and slip it over the radiator fitting. They are brittle and I broke a new one trying to get it on but with snap ring pliers it was a breeze. Thanks JPN.
Good luck with it.

Use snap-ring pliers (you can find affordable ones at Sears Craftsman) and slide it onto the narrower section of the pipe/hose and then spread it just enough to put it on the hose-end. I also put regular screw-to-tighten clamp over it.

RE: Turbo Gauge doesn't work after radiator replacement
ahh, great. It was the white plastic tube behind the drivers side headlight, it was disconnected. After I connected it, it worked fine. I bought the clamp at the Volvo dealership, it cost me $11.29 for one clamp. heh I tried to find it at autozone, pepboys, and roadside, they didn't have it. But the radiator change seems to be successful overall. I think there is an oil leak also. where are common oil leaks? and what are common solutions? Is there a thread on this somewhere?
