Even if the turbo failed, a replacement cartridge can be had for under $400. Don't underestimate the iron engined Volvos. Mine runs like a top, I have the dealer service records from new to 150,000 miles, have just put in a new clutch and with the IPD sways it handles as well as, if not better, than my stock 855t. It's also simple to work on and has sweet ride.

It's remarkable the differences in response I've gotten between this forum and the 700 forum on the RWD side.

The Caravan is likely to go if I had to call it now. Even if I sold the 745t.
