9-5 Aero Wagon is GO!

Int he shed is our first wagon, which suffered a cracked piston.. and then a bearing failure in the replacement motor :(

I finally had a chance to solve the rough running.

The answer was almost embarrassingly simple..

The cold side IC hose had blown off, and it had a dodgy MAF. The two together had caused serious failing in the adaptation and mapping.

Had a spare MAF and the hose went back on in 10 minutes. Quick oil and filter change and she runs a dream! Very quick after the family 2.5T XC90, steers well but I can already tell that there's a bit of work needed in suspension and alignment.

Next up, mounts, belt, filters, clean and polish, then run her for a bit while i work out what else might go wrong. So far, I love it!

Since driving it it's given me a P1110, which is the boost recirculation valve not doing its job right. Got one of those spare, though I'll probably buy a decent aftermarket one. Also need to replace all the vac lines again, with slightly larger silicon. Only had 3mm rubber stuff laying about at the time.

And then it had a quick wash. The roof needs a really, really good polish..
