Popular opinion says the motor is shot. Haven't taken it to a official mechanic, but the mechanic where I work is about 80% sure that it's a crank case bearing, or in other words, an engine re-build or replacement. 1998 V70 AWD turbo it is. And it has other problems like decaying oil coolant lines, and a mashed in passenger door where I backed into a truck in a snowstorm....but two new wheel bearings, functioning locks, lights, pumps etc.

I also own a 98 non-turbo, non AWD, which is in good shape, and which I bought for $3500 once the AWD started screaming. Now I'm not sure what to do with the turbo model. It's just sitting in the parking lot. Logic tells me to have it towed home (hurray for AAA premium), and strip it for parts. Or jack it up as a nice lawn ornament.

I don't do my own repairs, but could probably take off and store the easy to get to parts. Would like to know what you others would do in my shoes?
