940 SE Problems 900 1991

Well I finally was able to take my 940 SE up to Volvo, which I haven't been driving. Volvo provided me with plenty of bad news, but a bit of good.
Turbo charger is dead at 88, XXX miles. After having a second look at the car by an independant Volvo mechanic, the last time I had my oil changed (which was October of 2000, I was then in a car accident in Feb. 2001, my car was supposed to be repaired by one of the best auto body guys in this area, my car ended up sitting for 6 months, which we bought a 960 for parts because the body guy couldn't find parts and then after we bought the car he refused to work on it, so we brought it to another guy and he had it done in a month and was able to find parts it was a funny accident, not bad, but a weird hit, no internal damage at all.) I did not use Turbo oil, causing it to seize.

Also, my heater core is going bad. I noticed this when back in Sept./October.
I had got my car back the heater core stared leaking, I noticed a puddle of antifreeze on my driver's side floor, and the windows would fog up with antifreeze residue.

Other than that Volvo ranted and raved about how immaculate the car was and couldn't believe it was in an accident.

So that is my little story just wanted to share. And get opinions.
