I replaced all of the hoses for my radiator, including the two for the turbo coolant lines.

The one that you access under the car has been a pain in the arse.

One thing I noticed about the turbo, though, is that there are 2 holes on the side where the inlet hose bolts in with a banjo bolt (at least that's what its' being called on another Volvo site).

When I finished installing it (at least I thought I finished), water was pouring out of the back of the turbo. I've tried (from above) to tighten the bolt, but it's really difficult from above (and it's now went below).


Anywho, there are two ports on the side of the turbo, and I was wondering if maybe I put it in the wrong on? I don't know how that would be possible, as it would be much harder to put on plus significantly harder to reach from above.


Does anyone know what the 2nd hole is for?

I'm hoping to tighten the bolt more tomorrow (I didn't tighten it from below, so hopefully that's why it's not as tight as it should be? I dont know).

I almost forgot to mention. If you ever do this, don't use the silicone hose for the bottom hose (inlet coolant for the turbo). I literally invented swear words because of how difficult that was. Bought the regular old rubber one and it took me 30 seconds to get it on.
