The cam CVVT sensor was really clean and has been cleaned and a new gasket with a gauze filter installed with it. I know about oil cleanliness affecting the CVVT solenoid, but had not heard it causing issues ...

I did go through Vida and there is no mention of a torque. Just says refit. I also checked in P80 version as it is better written but again nothing. I will take your advice and tighten to just right. Vida will be next on the agenda once the various items are cleaned and inspected. I am limited with...

easy cam sensor function test.

I was trying to help a local Volvo owner with his Vida set up. He bought the software and Dice unit about 8 months ago and cannot get it to work. He said that the Dice unit did not light up. He brought it over, and although I have not much idea either, we tried my Dice unit from my 2014A version of...

Contacts have definitely been used. Someone bought a new part, put their old one in the box, and returned it to get their money back. Someone at RockAuto screwed up and didn't notice, or didn't care. You got blatantly ripped off and I'd be lighting up the Better Business Bureau's phones like a Chri...

I have done a few of these PCV Banjo bolts. The pic shown above by @DonnVa is interesting. The factory banjo bolts from 2004 V70 and 2007 S60 looks exactly as bolt on the RIGHT side of that photo. I tried to "gently" pry the pin out of the factory bolt but could not. If you look carefully...

I.M......intake manifold. I looked at mine today, I wouldn't touch the PS pump or alternator...unless you swap the banjo. maybe drain half the coolant and pop the big hose off.... but it looks do able without moving the big hose.

No turbo. Regular atmospheric pressure on this engine. Using my finger to feel around and my handy mirror on a stick I do not feel or see any threads. I tried to get my caliper up in there to measure and comes up around - .790" I also thought about adding threads but don't like my chances of g...
