Matts 850 GLT Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Well, I have looked at two T5's in the last couple of days, here's the link: http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php?showtopic=915871st - Smoke out of back of motor increasing as you rev it up. Smelled like oil and visibly blue coming out of passenger side rear. This car had severe smoke out of dipstick and oil filler and exhaust. Pulled like a train but I let is go because of too much smoke. Interior was trashed and many parts missing or broken. So I walked away.2nd - Replaced engine and a lot of weld joins under the engine bay, both front fenders different shades of silver. Accident damaged and unrecorded so I walked away.3rd - 94my, 119,000 miles, seems clean and tidy from the photo's. No history and owner says it doesn't use oil so I will go and see soon.There are plenty of 'ok' motors out there around $2-3k but I want an original to sort out, that way I know what has been done and buy who.Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
