1998 S70 T-5 240k miles Just bought some rebuilt front calipers for this car. It has the originals. I read somewhere about the caliper slider pins on the rebuilts not being as quality as the original Volvo pins (Volvo #30648017). I see one of these pins, Volvo OEM, costs around $25.00. That's pretty...

SUCCESS!!!!!! Last night I tried again to remove the ECC Unit by pushing / pulling it toward the rear of the car , this time more forcefully, and heard what sounded like plastic cracking, at which point I stopped. The unit did not appear to have moved from it's position, so I decided to remove the d...

I guess I could've simply pulled on the rotor when it was attached, an...

I was able to replace the exhaust seal by moving things aside, put everything back together, started it up and took a 1/2 hour test ...

Thank you, I appreciate the offer, but please don't bother. I can build a hose with an adapter that will outlast the car and I'll have it back on the road soon.

I managed to build a hose that replaces the stock hose. The stock hose, which is discontinued now, is unique in that it has a large end and a smaller end. I measured the inside diameter of the original hose and it appears to be 18mm x 11mm. So, to accomplished this repair, if you cannot locate a dec...
