From my son and me to you and your family – HNY 2025!

So, I printed up this little taper tool to install those seals, with minimal stretching. https://turbochuckcom.ipage.com/webimages/projects/97%20Volvo%20854T5/2024/Steering/Rack%20Rebuild/rackteardown_5.jpg When I get the extra seals, I'll give this a go. What I'll do is wrap some electrical tape ar...

The turbo has a larger outer CV than the NA axle, both sides. Some pics here for driver's side: viewtopic.php?t=78777

Lots of good info in this thread but you may have to dig for it: viewtopic.php?t=64252

Hi Caesium, can you please explain what a sweep test is and how its performed? Yes; it’s a test of the electronic throttle body module (ETM). It “sweeps” the butterfly valve inside the throttle body all the way open to all the way closed to see if it can move as it is suppposed to. Some of the “chu...

I have a cylinder head or two upstate that I could get one from if you get stuck. There are probably only two parts used on the whole P80 product line here, 1992-2000, with a part break in early 1999 model year when valves went from 7mm to 6mm diameter. You want this one from Skandix for a pre-1999 ...

If you need parts from Skandix Im ordering some engine stuff and you can ride on my 100 EU shipping from GER to USA, I can ship to you from NY using USPS at the usual flat rate box charges. Lets use this thread for the list, and PM for payment info

I had all the tell tale signs that my sump seals were gone. Pretty loud ticking at idle. And it would go away with sustained rpm’s like highway driving which is mostly what I do. The noise got Especially worse after replacing an 80% clogged ORIGINAL PCV. I think the crankcase pressure was actually h...

Mine has gone up too over the last year, too. I've got an original engine with about 120K miles on it. RobertDIY told me that it was likely valve stem seals.... or at least that's what I think he was telling me. Any chance yours would be bad after 30K miles? Who did the head work? I run 5w40 but I c...

Running a 0 weight oil on these engines is not a good idea. I appreciate 5W-40 which I use as specified for my 2000 V70R for where I live does not burn anywhere like that. I would suggest trying Walmart or Amazon or Rock Auto for oil of the correct type and see if that helps the consumption. As long...
