I found the best place to get the most accurate fitting cv axle boot (that I could find) is Advance Auto (owns WorldPac distributor). You can order from your car's VIN. The boot I repaired with GKN/Lobro fit perfectly on the axle shaft (small end of the boot), I did have to stretch it more than I li...

Okay, update to this, got some time to work on the car (again, a '06 2.5T AWD) and have done the following, pictures and notes to follow. Not quite in the order I had planned, but I saved some time by doing stuff while I had stuff out. Thanks to all who answered my questions and have posted info her...

This may save somebody a bunch of aggravation.... Once again I've had to repeat a repair due to using cheap aftermarket parts. When will I ever learn?!?! The replacements that I found on Amazon.com were so "favorably priced" that I couldn't pass it up. When I snapped the bargain sliders on...

1998 Volvo S70 GLT - White/Grey all photos taken Saturday, 09-Feb-2019 After 12 years, finally letting go of my beloved "Inga". It's time to move on... Originally purchased her in 2007 with 73K miles. Never really driven much and hasn't been a daily driver for years, but has made a few cr...

If someone finds the right person in NY NJ in need I will donate time to get this one put right on the road. I do have a nice young guy up here in NY in mind. Pulled his act together after bad high school, did auto tech, and just finishing welding school. Needs wheels until he can afford deposit to ...

SORRY, LONG POST. With the continuing saga of HID Headlights 101, I learned a lot. Don’t know if I can upload all the pics. May have to put two posts together to make it work. So, first the good part: I bought the FCPEURO HID Volvo headlights per member’s recommendations and they came uber quick. No...

Turns out I ordered and installed the wrong side caliper (bleed nipple facing down), I got the correct caliper and bled the brakes and she is back in action. Thanks again.

I have just been able to upgrade my headlights in a 1999 S70-GLT. I was at the PnP when I saw two aftermarket, almost new looking headlamp assemblies in a 1998 V70. The brightness of the chrome reflectors, visible through the lenses was jaw dropping. I grabbed them ($31.00 each) and installed them A...

Ps. Yesterday was the first time I was out at dark to use them. 1. They were just awesome. 2. FINALLY, high beams that work 3. No light flashes from oncoming traffic which had me the most worried. Even carried a mini socket wrench in the console to adjust on the side of the road. LOL!

I spotted a VW bus today that appeared to be in good condition. I know there are VW fans on here so I snapped a picture! June
