Hold off on dropping the oil pan or tearing off the top end. Fuel rail and ignition system next ... unless you like wasting time and money. I think what RHP is suggesting, is that the noise is misfire induced, despite no codes. also just as a troubleshooting step, disconnect plug wires one at a tim...

Well done on completing the trip! Thanks for the update and glad the move seems to have gone well. But man, did those Volvo brake pads soot up the wheels, LoL (I'm guessing they are actually black). I'm not sure why we are so surprised these vehicles can tow stuff. Having said that the most impressi...

Good to know. Let me know if you need any more help on this. Actually the emissions pipe thread gives a better view of that short pipe when the sub-frame was removed. There is one picture that gives a clear view from above the carbon can with the short flattened 'U' pipe that runs from the carbon ca...

Ptc is a TURBO item only...n/a don't have it.

Yes, that's the one I have, I haven't seen it described as Mototec before. The XC still has the original cat just like you suspected. It sounds really nice, there is absolutely no droning at any speed. The quality is so so but for that it's fairly cheap. My indie had a bit of hard time with fitting ...

We never mind helping someone who asks. Heck these poor guys and ladies on MVS have had to put up with me for years! Glad you have found a good set of tires. Much nicer knowing you have a good set under you!

Neil.

You will need to look for replacement glass for a 03-05 C70. They this place out. They are in the UK so with shipping to US they will be around $80.

It’s more likely the block ports are plugged

I think the smallhard hose only vacuums the PCV box at idle speed, though. You have to fix it so worth a try.

And not sure how your PVC system is, but us 850 guys have learned mods using 5/8" fuel hose that maybe you could adapt. Old engines with turbos have more crank case pressure than what OEM setup was for.

I never use a cam locker on any timing belt change but it is particularly worthless on a CVVT car. If you are not doing anything beyond the belt change along with all of the stuff in the path then you will not need the rear cam adjustment tool either. Where the rear cam adjustment tool is necessary ...
