Matt, I looked at what you put in the repair database, its perfect!!! You summarized my S80 adventure really well and you linked to this thread for anyone that wants to know more. I really appreciate you doing that. And I want to say that this thread is my way of giving back to MVS, I've learned a l...

I'm writing this to have a proper maintenance log of my 99 S70 - NA m56 transmission. I've made plenty of panic threads where I've learned a lot from the community, and a couple where I've shared what I've done. It's also an exercise in sharing my own experience in sunk-cost bias, and naive obsessiv...

Before and After of the recent storm (P80 unfortunately in the back, two P2s up front).

Just to conclude here--the second used transmission is in the car and working perfectly. I spent a long time making sure the fluid was fully flushed and at exactly the correct level while the fluid was at 40 degrees C. Though I didn't take the plunge and remove the bellhousing side case, I'm confide...

Good used 19t turbo. This was run on a friend's car for about 5k miles before it was wrecked. The wastegate actuator has been set to 5.6 PSI per specs for the 2000 V70R on which this is installed from the factory, however the pin for the actuator rod is missing. No big deal, I usually use a paper cl...

Paul - Here's what I have in terms of a maintenance log for my wife's 2013 XC70 T6. It looks like the same engine as your S80.

Purchased a 2018 Drive-E S60 with 4000 miles on it. Today it rolled over 25,000 miles. Opinion - Reliable (so far) and very peppy but noisy, particularly when cold. Starting to develop what sounds like a single valve tap when cold. Dealer blames certain brands of gas but I'm not totally buying into ...

I thought it would be fun to hear from people who actually bought a new P80 when they were on the market. Post here if you have fun stories about what you did with them. I'll start with our 99' V70 XC which we bought in September of 1999. We got $5000 of retail because the 2000 models were coming in...

I drove 'a 91 for 2 years. Was able to trade a very clean '95 940 wagon for it. I liked everything about it except for 1 major issue. It was a Chicago car and full of rust. It was all there with a perfect black interior and an excellent running turbo red block. Stock stereo with EQ also sounded very...

Found an old write-up of "Jim Hekker's" 122s in New Zealand. He used his old wheel centers, welded to a new barrel for the width and offset he wanted. 15x6 ET20. 195/60-15 tire. I believe the optional wagon steelie is 5 1/2". wheel 15x6 ET 20.jpg "The standard 4" wide Amazon...
