Is it just the blown turbos?
Hi everyone,
I was wondering is anyone might help me decide if some blown turbos are my only problem. I own a 2000 S80 T6 and a few weeks ago the turbos started making a louder than normal whining sound. I brought it to a Volvo specialist and he said that both turbos were passing oil and on their way out. I brought my car up to school the next day making sure to keep the oil level up and let the car idle for a minute before shutting down as usual. It was about a 6 hour drive and in the last hour I noticed a decrease in power. There is also occasional puffs of blue smoke out the exhaust. The yesterday when I started my car it would not go above ~1500 rpm and 20 mph. I can also feel the engine making some weird noises and shaking in short spasms. I was wondering if this was just the turbos finally seizing up or something more. Would the turbos be responsible for its inability to climb over 1500 rpm. Thanks.
