Hello everyone, I just replaced the bad fuel pump in my 98' S70 base with this Bosch one, and since I didn't see anything regarding this particular pump on the forum I thought I would share how it went. This is on the later assembly with the short insert, not the earlier with the taller insert and t...

I clear coated the badges last night, used 2k clear and I painted it on with a brush in order to get a thick layer of it. It smoothed out real nice, no brush marks at all.

Doesn't matter if wheels are balanced recently. Could be bad tyres or bent rim(s). I had a vibrations you mentioned after fitting a brand new summer tyres. After fitment i had vibrations around 90km/h...2nd balance around 100km/h...3rd balance after 110km/h...4th balance around 120km/h. Balancing ma...

Hard to believe this was 10 years ago.
OMG, the R turns 30 in a few weeks. It was 19 when I got it ...
This fall will make it 15 years of 850 ownership for me!

Hello everyone, thanks again for all the tips. After experiencing increasing start-up problems in wet weather/humidity and ruling out the fuel supply as the source of the problem, I replaced the entire ignition system (spark plugs, ignition cables, distributor cap, distributor finger). The car now s...

Without knowing trail blazer anatomy, I would be concerned about bad brake hoses collapsed internally or air trapped in the ABS system if it has one. Typically a bad brake booster should have a hard pedal as there is no vacuum assist to help. I find the power bleeders are far more convenient than va...

You might need to open the valves on the ABS module to bleed a fully drained system ftom scratch. In Volvo world there is a command in VIDA to do this. Maybe scour the Chevy Fora for that info? The good thing is GM is everywhere so you don’t have to rely on a quirky bunch of Volvo owners , it should...
