jschaefer7406 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Hello all, Installed the 15G on my 2000 S70 AWD back in July 2009. Replaced the manifold gaskets at the same time, but re-used all hardware. Some studs came out with the nuts, but they were reinstalled together as they came out and all were torqued and rechecked a few days later. Have sometimes heard a quiet ticking noise, usually idling in drive-thrus and such. I would think that, if the manifold gaskets were leaking, it would have become worse over time. It hasn't. Will be pulling the turbine housing again soon, as I plan to swap from the smaller angled housing to the larger angled housing. Should I pull the manifold again and replace them (with new hardware this time), or am I just being obsessive? Car had approximately 125k miles then, has 158k now... Othe question is, do I replace the oil feed line while I'm in there? Have heard that they should be replaced periodically due to internal blockage, but the car has had Syntec every 5k since I bought it (in 2005 @ 48k miles) and I always try to let it idle after every drive. I've never had a turbo problem with the car, either with the original 13T or the current 15G. It IS a fairly cheap part ($30 or so), just looking for opinions on whether to change it or leave it go . Thanks in advance for any insight, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
