Hey guys,
Just a few questions.
I got my s70 last august having just a little under 98,000 miles on it. And now its about 110,000 miles on it.
Is there anything I should probably get checked out. Get replaced. I do know that I had to get new tires and new rear breaks back in september. Should I changed the timing belt, sparks, and other things that will help my s70. Also, my gas miliage seems realy low. Maybe near 10mpg. How can I fix this? And finaly, just recently, I've been feeling alot of vibration coming from my break pedal. It last for maybe 3 secs. But it happens maybe once a night. any thoughts or advice. Thanks

Oh also one thing, I do i know that i got turbo? And how do i get it on. Is it when i switch it to sport mode?

 

I know, I know. I already said that this was all. But another question. What does the trac button do exactly. I know it's for the traction. But i dont notice anything different when im driving. And how do i know it's working. No lights or signs?

 

LOL no.

1. If you have a turbo your going to have...

A. A turbo.
B. A intercooler
C. Charge pipes

^ This is just a random set of identifiers.

Anyways...

2. If you have a turbo you have a turbo. It doesn't come on when you flick a switch. It comes on when you press the peddle and you go from vacuum into boost. If you had a vacuum/boost gauge you'd see what I am talking about.

3. Here is an example of a volvo turboed engine.

FYI it is an 850 engine. However you see two black pipes. One going over the engine and into the back area and one coming from the front. Those are the charge pipes. If your turboed that is what yours should look like. FYI the design of the pipes might be different this picture is only for reference only.

 

Well, heres the thing. I checked my engine. And i do have those pipes on it. But, i dont think i have a guage for it.

 

The turbo gauges don't come with the car stock, so you'd have to put one in yourself. If I recall correctly, the GLT S70s have a very light/small turbo installed on them, so you definitely have one on there.

 

Your right you don't. The s70's never came with them. So you wouldn't have one to begin with. So it doesn't mean you don't have a turbo on that engine. What it does mean is if you want a boost gauge go buy one and install it.

 

FYI the 850's did come with a gauge, the s70's didn't
