The Isoview upgrade works good for some people for other its better to stay with Isoview 4. You can always change back.

The upgrade files are here.

I do not have the 2.4L as the O.P.'s car is 2006 V70 2.4L... My understanding is that different tsats: - With or without the nipple for the small cooling hose that runs alongside PCV system. - The 2.4L tstat w/o the nipple ---> the notch "might" stick out a bit more than the tstat with nip...

Exactly. At my age (29.. lol) I have no patience for it anymore. Take the extra time. While you're draining the coolant why not decompress, take a break, and have a beer. Also of note for anyone reading these posts: 12mm x 16mm copper washers are standard and should be available at any of your loca...

I'm familiar with Wright and appreciate his humor, oh yea!

The Quick Struts on my 2004 V70 from the original post from 2019 still fine 3y/20K miles later... But I agree with you, a la carte is probably better.

It is $338 each side , not including installation cost (forgot to factor in the cross nut #9 when I did this photo; $10/each). If FCP were to do this service (assemb...

The wife's '97 GLT needs a new rack. I gave United Power Steering a call and will probably send them the original TRW rack from her car (we swapped a used one in when we did the RN swap a while back). Nice on the phone and $295 to rebuild our unit. (Not including shipping). They don't keep a stock o...

An excellent lube for assembling rubber hoses/fittings etc is rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol). Makes the rubber vey slippery, then evaporates. Will not affect the rubber at all. Also great for stubborn silicone hoses.

It is true.

I decided to go with using IPD's blue poly front subframe inserts on my P2. First lesson - it isn't too smart to try to beat them into place. The on line videos show the tech doing that but I found it is much easier to do it this way: 1 - find about a foot long or more bar, rod, or piece of metal pi...
