Today was an excellent day in Volvoland for me. I tested the impedance between R and common of a few pairs of headphones, and all were 30 ohms, except one pair of "high impedance headphones", which were 50 ohms. The headphone jack that I added to my stereo only had 5 ohms though... I had a...

Hey, I used to work a hundred yards from there!

That might be my neighbor's car!

I have parts removed from my 2005 XC90 2.5T with 90K (I did preventive maintenance at 90K). So these parts have 90K on them: - WP (factory Volvo), bearing still good, but you need a Green Volvo gasket ($2) - Timing Belt (still looks OK, but you may want a new TB by Conti) - Idler Pulley (still good ...

Just an update for any interested and if anyone is having this issue in the future and needs reference: Volvo ran fine but the codes never cleared. Last week my wife had the #2 ignition coil fail while driving on the interstate and had it towed to our shop. My mechanic put a used coil in to get me h...

V8 serp belt tools kit is scheduled to go out in late March for a Swedespeed forum member, if someone wants to before or after feel free to let me know.

No harm/no foul if there's not any interest on this site, my intent was simply to share and I had though to expand the audience.

Thanks

Here's a nice 122 Carrera Panamericana car with some serious mods underneath.
And check the rear fuel filler neck, which is now a bottle opener.

Big difference to the site. I haven't been on in awhile and was surprised at how different it looks. Seems to be running nice and smooth. Good job Matt .

It sounds like your AWD isn't working. The front tires shouldn't spin more than 15 degrees before the Haldex sends power to the back . You noted that you "know" the AWD works because when the front tires are spinning you do get some power to the rear, this is somewhat encouraging. It sugge...

I was impressed. And they never dumped the fuel, which is interesting. Over a city, not high enough, no time? Or no need, as it was flying just fine on one engine as designed? But heavy, right, with a non-stop to Hawaii? Speaking as a layman here - The way that engine was shaking in the mounts, may...
