Okay, I see it now. So where yours has a pretty defined lip, mine are flatter. Probably gave mine that little extra room when positioned at an angle to let one release and the others then had the room to follow. Thanks everyone for the information. I’ll play with it some more now I know what was su...

Red Line CV2 destroyed both tripods in my V70 in matter of weeks, if not days (I did a lot of highway driving back then). One of the replacement axles developed a grease leak through the weakened clamp after a few years of real abuse. I haven't payed attention to the problem for long enough to ensur...

Are you sure it's the seal that is leaking ? Sometime we try lubricating the steering coupler just above and it leaks on the input shaft. What you may try for the seal, is disconnect inside the car the wing screw - it has a specific important torque 22 ft.lb and need be placed correctly with the hea...

DonnVa, I'm loving that clean engine bay! The shop called today and said the flush and fill smoothed the shifting issue out. I approved the seal repair as I don't have time to do it myself. I thanked the Master Tech for the tip he gave me back in October to mark the actual timing belt too and he sai...

What kind of bearing puller did you use. I have two and neither will do the job. I had an Amish guy pull it off! I stopped into an Amish Electronics repair facility in rural PA that I always pass. They mainly work on power tools, electric fences, etc. I wanted to see if they would be able to solder...

Well, after looking at other cars and seeing the stupid prices on used cars I began looking at an engine swap. I’ve located a 110k engine out of an 07 S60 for $1,000. Of course, the timing system will be replaced on this motor and PCV hole inspected and cleaned before installation. I have a mechanic...

Thanks to Donn for scavenging these parts for me, nice meeting you.!

Yes, Assuming you are not replacing a brand-new transmission and need to circulate the ATF through the gears, then that is true. You can verify it yourself, assuming this is the daily driver. I learned this from Honda, where ATF check is done with engine off. Anyway, for Volvo P2: - After going home...

So did the coyote.

My '05 S60 center console creaks a lot. I removed it this weekend to fix the issue with the shiftier not stay in drive, i.e. falling into manual mode. I tighten all the torx screws inside the center console, there are about 12, about 1/4 to 3/4 of a turn. This is old plastic so don't go crazy. After...
