VolvoRine Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Hey guys! I was driving yesterday with the fam around 800Lb all together, my bro, my sis, my parents and myself when after a left corner I switched over to "sport mode" and around 25mph I fully stepped over the gas pedal, I guess just I just felt like doing it , after that I felt the car somehow reacted weird, like something went off, I felt as I was reaching the 65mph that something went bad, excessive vibration, I mean I know that I probably wasn't supposed to do that with all that tremendous weight on the car.....anyways..... after I looked at the turbo gauge, the needle is stock in the middle....it won't move at all..not even when I switched the car on and off.... I don't know what happened??? after that I swear that I drove my car like never before...ha I felt I hurt the car in a way The next morning (today) when I cranked up the car, the car sounded kinda strange like something was off or like an if it was of out timing... but after it warmed up the noise went away; I drove it to my work (20 miles) and it seems that it was running normal I gave it a little rev but it responded like a champ.... I just tuned-up the car like 2 days ago...... includes wires, cap, rotor, Volvo spark plugs, k&N air filter cleaned and conditioned...... I want to know what might ha happened to the car..... Thanks for reading it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oreo931 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Check your vacuum lines and intercooler hoses. Sounds like you blew something off or a hose tore. As for the gauge, there is a white plastic vacuum line in the engine bay around the drivers side of the bay. That is the line to your turbo gauge, make sure it is connected to the intake manifold.

cheapwagon Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Do you have a poly upper torque mount to blame it on? Or you can just check vacuum lines and IC hoses as previously mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolvoRine Posted September 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Yeah I want to check the vacuum lines but WHERE ARE THEY?? that's why I asked for advice in the pics..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Che'_Moderator Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Yeah I want to check the vacuum lines but WHERE ARE THEY?? that's why I asked for advice in the pics..... Under the kick panel on the driver side. Look for a black rubber line going to a hard plastic white line. Sounds like you blew the gauge line off. Oh, and don't drive like a douche :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bah Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Do you have a poly upper torque mount to blame it on?

My windscreen! ohz no! =) In good fun I would definitely check up on that...if it blew off, that would affect performance somewhat, since its like having a vacuum/boost leak i imagine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FCP Euro Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Holy crap that's a clean engine bay. I was thinking the same thing. As for the boost gauge line, one end is located in the engine bay and is connected to the vacuum tree. You can see if sticking out in your picture. It is under the cover that covers the TB. Just trace it out and make sure it is not cracked anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Update: I just looked at the white line and it was off, put it back on ...... however I haven't cranked the car up, cus I'm still at work til 7pm and just sneak out and plug the white line back in, don't see any cracks...so far We'll see what happens in a couple of hours... :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
