Re: Will this valve spring compressor work?
Most likely, yes, but I think it will be a nightmare to keep it perpendicular to the head. Not unlikely you'll launch a couple of springs to outer space and make a couple of head scars. In general, you do not want to use cheap tools to service expensive or hard to access parts. Here's me using OTC 4...

Re: i need opinions on your ownership experience
Honestly, I haven't had many chores with malfunctioning electronics. It was usually more helpful in diagnosing problems than being a problem. But general reliability is not what I was expected. My 2005 w/ 270k miles has only original fuel pump and about 15 original rear subframe bushings.

Re: i need opinions on your ownership experience
I busted $35k in parts and maintenance on my XC70 since 2012. Third of that could be ignored or deferred if you're not up to keeping it perfect, but still it's a lot. Wife's 2016 XC60 T5 (last year of P3) we bought new was a disaster. SPAs are too flimsy and glamorous. No more new Volvos in my famil...

Re: Basic testing of sub-frame bushings? ('04 XC70)
Throw in a couple of o-rings 8638585. They are intended for early years S80, which had a clunk in subframe, but I bet occasional clunks in my V70 was the same problem. I've added these o-rings and the clunk never returned. Also put these o-rings in my XC70, just in case. And, yeah, it has a new subf...

Re: Basic testing of sub-frame bushings? ('04 XC70)
Question - Is wiggling the subframe around changing the alignment? Or when you do them one at a time it doesn’t move? With only one rear bolt loose, the subframe shouldn't move much. Because of the alignment pin on the driver side (can see it in picture above), the subframe needs to lower quite a b...
