Re: FDPP #2

I've already replaced the fuel pump right after I bought the car. Where is the PEM located? My car is rust free, surprisingly with the salt they use on the roads here in the winter time. I see newer cars all ate up with rust, yet my car is spotless. Even when I changed the fuel filter the bolt and ...

Re: Brake pedal position sensor replacement alternatives?

November is Cybermonth at FCP Euro, here's the coupon code

We’re making our biggest sale of the year even bigger, and hopefully that helps out some of our friends here on MVS with getting your Vo's in tip-top shape before the winter. 2020 has been a bit of a letdown for the car community. We didn't even get to do a Cars and Coffee this year.. so we made sur...

Re: Power steering fluid or ATF?

I've used both ATF and Volvo's own fluid. Didn't notice any difference at all between them, except the price of course.
