Well, thanks for the info Bruce! I get most of my info from my Volvo mechanic, experience, this form, and occasionally a Haynes manual :) I worked for my Volvo mechanic last summer, that was fun! :) I learned TONES about Volvos. I quickly became the second Volvo "expert" that customers asked for, lol. I felt bad for the other mechanic, but he was more interested in VWs. Anyway, I don't know if my NA had the ECU upgrade....probably...I just bought it this summer with about 352K km on the clock. I've had the turbo (my first Vo) since Oct '01 and ~241K km. I've gone through a lot with both of them, namely an engine rebuild on the turbo (done by my mechanic). The turbo is my baby which I decided not to drive this winter, although I'm growing fond of the NA despite it's issues here and there...Wish I had a better place to store the turbo for the winter, but dad's '93 Vigor (which I also like a LOT) is taking up the only garage space, so the turbo is outside in a tarp 'hut' on jackstands with a rubber lined floor under it and a light car cover on it. I think it'll be ok, just not as dry as would be preferred. Have to build a garage before next winter! Anyway, enough babling from me, lol. Oh, I didn't know that about the Loc-Tite...haha...A REAL good old body work man that we use once in a while use to work at the Volvo plant here, his stories are GREAT!....And so is his metal work! Wow. One more thing....Yeah, the Regina starts different then the LH 2.4. The turbo starts in a flash and the Regina seems to work harder....could be the Shell Rotella-T 15W40 too, LOL....Na, I think it's the Regina....The turbo uses Amsoil 10W40 :)
