Drove the 1998 T5 Manual 1300 miles round trip from Sacramento to St. George Utah. No problems, 25-28 MPG driving 72-78 mph and mostly at 4000 ft elevation with many passes at 6500-7700. Hit 159k miles on the way there. Thought I used 3/4 qt on way there, so added a full qt for drive back thinking i...

Nope. This unfortunately is not an unheard of issue with both the front and rears on P2 cars. We had to replace the rears about 7-8 years ago when our 06 X70 only had about 100k miles on it as it was broken. When I redid the fronts, I did them as well.

I’ve got this exact same issue. Any follow up info would be great. Thanks! I should have come back and posted an update. There were a few unknowns that caused me to ask the dealer to install the replacement parts. There is a spring with a lot of tension that I was not certain I could disengage/re-e...

Only the GLT(US) LPT was M4.4 in '97 (Well, for the turbo car...

The starter rear plate ( right side or car) traps the ETM cable on p80 and early P2 cars.

Do not cut the cable! It has CANBUS communication cales that do not splice well

Remove the rear starter plate and scrap it, it isn’t needed and was removed by Volvo in2002

So I finally have all of the audio-related equipment for the trailer. I just bought the amp dedicated for the subwoofer. Teaser: its a retro mid-upper tier German brand that did not market much, if any, in the US. But supposedly they make some of the best audio gear. Teaser/spoiler: 1x C70 4x100 (al...

Continue to repair my 850. Today, I've tried to disconnect the fuel tank. The both hoses didn't want to come and they broke... I prefer not to speak about fuel hoses... Fuel pump connector.jpeg The outer size of the the nipple on the top of the fuel pump is 9mm. Can i use these replacements parts ? ...
