Re: 98 V70XC saved from the crusher

You could go the FWD route and delete the whole AWD rear end and transfer a FWD rear suspension and axles in like Bmdubya did with his V70R and has been detailed by Robert DIY and I believe others. That way you keep the good stuff and get rid of the complex AWD stuff. Neil I am aware of that swap. ...

Re: ABS resistance checks out, module repaired, still have codes

I have been feeling grateful that parts are so cheap for these cars right now, at least from rockauto. Also, probably an unpopular opinion but...

Re: 1998 xc70 1/98 build Problem filling gas tank (meta discussion on evap config)

Also, great news. I fixed my gas filling problem! Turns out it was indeed related to a previous repair related to that “over fill” line I think I mentioned earlier. From the factory This is a largish diameter steel line coming from the top of the drivers side rear of the tank. It goes from there fol...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Didn’t do anything except wash my car. When I look back at it, I’m grateful that my factory nivomats are still strong. Going to be sad when they go. Enjoy your factory nivomats while they last!!
