www.volvoclub.org.uk forums will be able to help.

Mine isnt the turbo, but the B230ET engine is pretty bulletproof, buy on overall condition and not mileage, Basically just check its been well serviced, and if its been self serviced, check the receipts. Check cambelt has been done, check it boosts ok when its warmed up, you shouldnt really have any problems smile
