Well, I finally did the zip-tie shim. I only used two ties, as close to 180 degrees apart as possible. Installed 6 on the C30 today. I didn't like the idea of distorting the circular springs with just 3 so used 6 instead. Had a choice of 3 ties and 2 colors. Decided on the small black ones. Using y...

P2 PIN routine is very different from P3. Brute-forcing CEM PIN on P2 takes up to 42 (older 250 Kbps CAN) or 21 (newer 500 Kbps) years. A bunch of people here on MVS have figured out how to deal with that and get the pin in under 1 hour (usually about 15-20 minutes), see the thread reference in sign...

MVS Readers, I drove to Southern California from the Bay Area and back again. Because it was going to be a long trip we took the Volvo.

The time has come... she blew a head gasket again due to the terrible EGR design and I just couldn't justify another rebuild. I managed to snag an 05 Honda Pilot for a song and am ...

Next new new (final), So Buddies, at first, i used the car tonight for a small trip. The gauge is always a bit higher than the middle. May be the circuit must be dirty. Does anyone ever used stuff like LiquiMoly for coolant circuit, does it worst it ? I have to test the fan, and its relay, not sure ...

I purchased our family 1998 V70 new when my daughter was born. It is now her first car. What does a 263,281 mile car look like? It's been to the moon (another thread for an earlier generation car exists on this site)! Well, I refreshed it last month. Repaired and refinished all the relevant parts i...
