Re: 98 V70 Turbo - Crank but no start

The bracket on near #5 cylinder nuts that holds the pipe that runs along the front of the block always seem to manage to get trapped between the block and the intake. And we have a winner !

Re: 97 850 GLT E85 questions

Yes, I run E85 on mine. If you get a tune from Vast (the best M4.4 mapper you can find) you have the option to get two maps, one for gasoline and one for E85. You can switch them "on the fly", afaik he's the only one that does this. Just remember that E85 needs more volume (about 30%) for ...

Re: How long have you owned a P80 - 850 or S/V/C70

Personally, they annoy me a little because they don't seem to fully return to their horizontal resting spot very well, and I don't find them all that useful. You might find the results of this poll interesting. I deleted mine. https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=49983 S...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Didnt work on a Volvo today, went to a car show/trackday at Le Mans with the 940. Saw a few Volvos https://i57.servimg.com/u/f57/16/41/73/43/img_2362.jpg https://i57.servimg.com/u/f57/16/41/73/43/img_2363.jpg https://i57.servimg.com/u/f57/16/41/73/43/img_2361.jpg https://i57.servimg.com/u/f57/16/41/...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

To be honest the dash elements feels stronger than the 940 ones, the vents on these like to explode when you look at them wrong!

Re: 98 v70--- will these steelies fit?

FWD wheels have the mounting face more towards the outside of the wheel than RWD, so RWD on a FWD volvo will stick out more For reference, this is my V70 on ET30 6.5" wide 16" steelies with 205 55 tires. Just fits without rubbing on anything, but it's close. https://i.servimg.com/u/f57/16/...

Goes out from the top, just need to go slow and avoid damaging the ABS module (a load balancer on the engine hoist helps)
