So I figured I'd start a new thread on this project that I stepped into a couple of months ago. It started with me rescuing a '99 V70 that was headed to the scrap yard. 161k miles. Desert Wind paint. It had apparently been sitting for 4 years after being overheated and warping the head. The owner th...

OK, now that I have a moment. When I left off, I was getting the teflon seals on the pinion drum and the rack piston seal. I wound up with a few wraps of electrical tape and some hose clamps on there and let them sit for a couple days (I was busy anyway, so it didn't bother me any to wait). After th...

I’ve got them but promised them to Brandon earlier. He may not need.

Let Toni know I’m a possible.

Mine are 2000 so she may need to replace the entire works to get a setup , shifter , housing, and cables

So our 2017 had a similar issue, we got a brief coolant low warning and then the car would overheat as you've described. I topped up the coolant 3x over about 10 days and finally found a cracked T fitting on the driver's side of the motor down low that had a fairly invisible crack but greenish coola...

So I don't think the whole engine is shot. The smoke is likely coming from the bearings on the turbocharger (or the supercharger) leaking oil into the exhaust stream which hosed up the catalytic converter. The turbo could also be leaking externally from a crack in its housing and down onto the exhau...

... Also chuck a new serpentine belt tensioner in there for good measure with a new belt. I think the ECU is hunting the idle to get the alternator to the correct RPM to run the car, charge the battery, heat your backside, etc. It also could be an alternator, but I'd probably do the previous items f...

Toni! Hang in there! I am also a cancer fighter. These (it's a pair) cables are discontinued, but I found a set at Pelican Parts in Harbor City, CA. They have a website, here's a link to the exact part on their online store. https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info2/9176272.htm Please let me know if y...

ourstanding-volvo-940.png Here's one of me, once described as outstanding in my field... I was planting potatoes at the time. Go down the list of Stage 0 items. matthew1 Q. has anyone penned a gold master "Stage 0" guide regarding the 940 series? All the best, thanks for any one taking th...

I purchased a thin open end wrench to help hold the inner nut to allow me to remove the sway bar end link (aftermarket). My standard wrench was about 9 mm at the head while the new was is 3 mm. I purchased the thin wrench (chrome) from Amazon for $8. Bicycle "cone" wrenches are another thi...

I have a question, jonesg. Why would the pressure overnight indicate a blown hg? I would imagine the leftover pressure would indicate that there is a seal. Hot coolant creates high pressure in the bottle, when the coolant goes cold there is no pressure in the bottle. If you find high pressure and t...
