I jacked the car up. I tried bleeding the air lock to lock while off. That didnt work. I dont know why i expected it to. But even when i ran the engine, it still didnt bleed air. when i finally went a 1/3 mile to the bank, it whined as i turned into the parking lot. i popped the hood after the atm ...

2008 S60 2.5T with 220k. This is my second P2 Volvo, son has had two also. When you stick to one particular make/model/variant, you learn what to look for and the maintenance required to keep problems at bay. I plan to run this one until all 4 wheels fall off.

Pretty straight forward. Besides a 3rd gen Odyssey, I am considering an 03-04 v70, s60, or xc70 (this one less likely). I have heard that Volvo's reputation went down with the addition of computers.

Now that EVs have been around for a solid ten years, I've been fascinated by regeniterave braking. It's also made me aware that when I brake in my ICE cars, all that energy is lost to brake dust.
