Volvo Forum + Help for Owners
Hey all – I’ve managed to get a lower price out of the manufacturer of the P2 XC70 2″ lift kits – (color change to red) – so, I’ve been able to lower the price.
And, I’ve got three sets of BÄD Swede 52mm (2″) lifts on eBay for a great price – one is an unused return and the others are trade show demos. They have paint blemishes but are perfect otherwise. Forum members save some $$$! (Still on as of 5/8/13).
Cheers,

You want to do the valve seals while you’re at it. This is not an overkill because they are probably nearing the end of their life cycle and will develop oil seepage (just to make you feel regretful one day that you have to redo the gasket).
On another note, have you ever overheated the engine? Even if you haven’t, the mating surfaces for the head gasket need to be planed. There is usually a reason for the gasket to fail (and not always an apparent one).
My pump had two outlets on it – most aftermarket pumps have only one. I’m not sure where the second line goes, so I purchased a Volvo original with the two outlets. This is a good time to remove the T junction and extra tubing for the headlight washers which are most likely no longer working. Plug in the pump and test.
Are you hearing a clicking sound when you turn? You’ll need to replace axles sooner or later. Here is a a guide for anyone who wants/needs to replace…
I discovered the V70 Clock Spring was broken while changing my Ignition Tumbler and Ignition Switch. FYI: By Federal laws, any modern cars made after 1991 or so…
