1999 V70 T5 DIY Front Caliper 8111102 8111101 DIY in 50 minutes!!

OK - good mechanicing is not a race, but I had an hour of time in a boring conference call where I was just a listener, so I plugged earphones in and dashed outside. My front left caliper locked up on me so I got two rebuilt ATE calipers from BAP GEON (in stock, local, 42 USD with 16 USD core) - you...

Re: 1995 850 NA relays (functions of)

The overload relays are relays that power all of the lower current devices when the key is on. By lower current I mean pretty much everything except the starter motor and the fans. There is no overload relay that only deals with the starter solenoid. Each of them deal with a variety of things. Most ...

Re: 2000 v70/s70 Fog lights DON'T need 213 relay

After no luck with installing J Relay and 213 and some more research, it looks that the green 104/108 needs to be replaced with a grey colored 104/108. Now it's time to get the grey relay and sell both green ones. Getting there, slowly :)

Re: 99 s70 2.3T New Project Car

I would just do the normal checks for these cars, timing belt, PCV, etc. If the cam seals look suspect, replace them. And only run premium gas, lower octane fuel has been possibly linked to burnt valves. If you replace the calipers, I would definitely recommend new or resurfaced rotors, and of cours...

Re: 99 s70 2.3T New Project Car

"And only run premium gas, lower octane fuel has been possibly linked to burnt valves." Could I get some feedback from several people on whether or not this is a generally agreed upon statement? I have a '99 T5 and use mostly regular octane gas in the USA rather than premium, so I'd like ...

Re: 99 s70 2.3T New Project Car

Well, the owner's manual that shipped with my 1995 S70 T5 states that 87 is the minimum octane requirement and that to obtain "optimum performance" use 91 octane or higher. I have always taken that to mean that Volvo is stating that you can use 87 octane without causing problems to your en...
