I think I’m missing a torque mount?

Hi, have a 2008 D5 M66 with AC. I have seen this mount for sale on ALG and was going to purchase it before realising I do not even have the OEM mount on my V50 at all. It says that some models with AC do not have the mount standard so I’m thinking I fall under that category. My main question is do I need this torque mount as I’m lowered on lowered shocks and springs, if I do can I even retrofit it with the AC lines present?

Normal potential brake servo noise or abnormal

D5 2008, not sure if this almost sounds like air escaping noise is normal or not. Stops when pressing brakes so makes me think it’s potentially brake servo noise? Anyone know if that noise is normal or not, honestly not sure how long this has been going on for as normally have music playing. Bit hard to hear over the engine idle but can definitely be distinctive

Normal turbo actuator play or not?

V50 D5 2008, ordered a replacement as seems to be a cause of my boost issues. Does this play seem normal? Can also click it backwards which I don’t think it should do, will open it up to inspect after new part has arrived, just curious if this play is normal or is it very look looking.

Better to buy a second hand turbo with actuator or new actuator

Hi, I have a D5 2008. Had ongoing boost leaks from intake manifold and pcv which I’ve now sorted and narrowed down the possible reason to going into a limp mode where the car feels like it’s holding itself back at higher gear rpm is due to the turbo actuator as it ticks on ignition and is the only thing which seems to be causing me to have this problem.

My main question, is it possible to order a new turbo actuator or does it have to be used as from what I understand the actuator and turbo need to be mapped together and so I can’t just plug and play a new actuator? Is this correct and so would I be better off getting a re-conditioned turbo + actuator as a set or just get a second hand turbo+ actuator or am I wrong and I can just get a new actuator without issue

Driveshaft seal question

Hello, have a RHD V50 D5 manual (M66) gearbox and ordered a driveshaft seal (for inside transmission) as it was leaking and thought to order the seal from the other side too to change both at the same time. The two seals given to me by the dealership are diffrent with one seal for the passenger side being much larger than the drivers side which I questioned the dealership but they assured me it was correct. Lo and behold after removing the drivers side drive shaft the seal before me was identical to the one on the passengers side being much larger than the seal which is given to me.

Is there two seals on the drivers side or did the dealership give me the wrong seal?

Image shown is the drivers side seal and the other image is the part given to my by the dealership for the drivers side.

Having ongoing boost issues with my D5 2008 V50 and it seems I’m missing this part. The two pipes numbered 22 and 25 won’t seal together as it’s just plastic on plastic to hold boost pressures so it leaks since there’s nothing between the two pipes apart from a jubilee clip holding them together. Checked VIDA and found there should be a part here (labelled 26 on diagram), but I don’t have it or understand what it can be. Searched online and can only find it from US Volvo and nothing on eBay (I’m in the uk)

Any photos or links to where I can buy this from? Or even if I’m supposed to have it? Part number is 30776122

Hello, have a 2008 D5, having boost issues after overnighting a pipe leading to splitting and hearing an audible “chooo” noise like a Skoda fabia tdi after letting off from load.

Found out from a garage I need to replace the boost pipe coming from turbo.

Currently daily driving as apart from the boost leak it’s still working but actuator seems to be ticking when Ignition is on or the car is at idle however the ticking stops when above idle rev range and after the car has been for a drive for awhile.

Asked the garage about the ticking they recon the ticking is normal when the battery is low. Checked VIDA and the only codes which come up are for turbo control too high and boost pressure sensor too high. I changed battery to a spare but it still ticks again so maybe a dodgy battery again? Changing battery tomorrow to a more powerful and new one and sorting boost issues when pipe arrives.

Personally I think the ticking is related to my boost issues and has calibrated to compensate for the boost leak, not sure if that’s even possible but it’s too coincidental that the ticking happens after I messed around with a boost oipe. Is this possible or recon the actuator has just died at a very coincidental time? Anyone had the same issue?
