Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?
Reset the timing on my camshafts ( NA ) to get a little bit more low ends torque. Worked great ! Went out for a nice test drive; played with a Tesla Plaid ( ok it played with me ). It's something else watching that thing take off from the line, and at any speed. Only thing missing was the sound. I g...

Re: Volvo Findings! (What have you found on Craigslist?)
Heavy duty double sided tape. You can cut and stack pieces to fill any voids and get good contact on the trim. Just need more of it when doing a three gauge pod. ( note; I painted the pod gray to match the interior, but it looked like **** from the outside, so I had to go back to black ) IMG_2022092...

Re: oil filter wrenches and filter sockets
Strap type to remove - hand tighten apx 3/4+ turns from point of contact. I can honestly say that after doing this for more than half a century ( damn that sounds long ) on many many cars & trucks, I have never had a leak. Except for that one time when I poured in 4 quarts of oil, but forgot to ...

Re: Which older volvo do you recommend? [merged]
+2. Obviously. Such a Goldilocks of a car. Comfort, ride, safety, performance, and reasonable economy....
And taking the turbo out on a nice road, is some kind good therapy.

Re: 1998 V70 Coolant? Overheating? Something?
On Sveedy the fan doesn't come on till the engine temp hits 198*. On a hot day the temp will get up to 206* before dropping back down. I've noticed that if I leave the car at idle when it's hot, that the fan will drop the temp apx 2* every few seconds till it gets down to 197*, at which point the fa...

Water / Methanol injection ( etc )
Well this seems to be where those interested in such stuff should reside. I'm going to install a water / methanol injection system in Sveedy. Just waiting on delivery. With all of my mods, I'm still getting some knock sometimes at WOT. Aaron at Vast Tuning, who has been great, pointed me toward WMI ...

Re: 1996 850 NA Replace Front Oxygen Sensor P0133
On my '96, i think I just removed the MAF inlet tube so I had better access, but I'm not sure if you need to. The two o2 sensor plugs hang out around the heater hose cam sensor area. Just follow the wire from below. The plugs have a red top sliding lock set-up. You just slip a small screw driver bet...
