Re: Turbo questions -- including cooldown 200 1984

Dear Pablisimo, thanks for the response. Could you fill me in, please? I think that your answer referred to two TYPES of turbo cooldown devices? Does Volvo the manufacturer implement either of them? Run-until-cool I can grasp. Is there another type that somehow PUMPS OIL through [which portion?] the engine/turbo until cool? Fascinating!

Forgetful. We are related in that. But also in remembering to care for the cars a bit. My new driver (16 years old) gets the drift, and now starts the car when she gets in, rather than immediately before she is ready to drive away. It's generally somewhere between 0 degrees F and freezing here in the winter, so it helps. She also catches on that the A/T appreciates a little run in before you bash your way through the ice-choked paths. Yea!

My wife, on the other hand, doesn't get it. Works by method, by routine... nearly unvarying. Which is great if you are making biscuits, but not if you are making... What is it you said you would do nearly anything to get?
