Hi, all. I have a minor problem, in that I collected my car from local garage after they replaced the head gasket, on the drive home noticed that every time I turned right there was vibration. On the drive I popped the bonnet to see if I could see anything around the steering to cause this oddity. All seemed OK until I noticed what I think was an error on behalf of the garage mechanic. There is a hose connected at one end to the inlet manifold traverses the rocker cover to the turbo. At the turbo end in the bend is what appears to be a plastic valve with a narrower plastic extrusion leaving it. I have a sneeking suspicion this hose has been fitted the wrong way round, am I correct? Of course I will be taking the car back after the bank holiday, for them to check the peculiar steering problem and of course make good anything else. The problem is of course they are not volvo agents. I would like to be able to tell him where this plastic piece should be connected to, but more importantly is it safe to drive? I would gratefully appreciate your input.
