Another fortunate coincidence happened today. Today, I made a phone call necessary to complete a project that's years overdue. It resulted in me making an appointment elsewhere in the state for next month. 45 minutes after ending the call, the previous owner of the T5M called me to say he had gather...

https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/download/file.php?id=78779 That's a lovely wagon. Though Scotland has the steering wheel on the wrong side, they didn't manage to reverse the fan blade direction on the passenger's side Columba wheels. Am I the only one with right side fan blades going in th...

Great to hear that another manual wagon is being saved! On my 2000 V70, I am able to add heated seats to a car which doesn't have them simply by adding switches and the circuit breakers in the fuse panel. See this thread about adding heated seats , specifically the post linked for the circuit breake...

Today, I met up with the previous owner of the T5M. He's a great guy with a reasonable enthusiasm for driving and vehicle maintenance. It was fun to hear stories of how he enjoyed driving the car for 20 years. He sent me home with a wagon full of extra parts: Four aftermarket 17" wheels with Mi...

I don't see how the water pump pulley is at an angle. I've attached a picture of my 2000 V70 timing belt area. Can someone help me understand this failure? yanga001, we hope you do choose to rebuild the engine as a learning exercise. It's nice to have you here so we hope that you stay. Good luck wit...

Thanks for this information. While working on my 2000 V70 last night, I checked for play in the axles. The left felt tight but the right was notably loose between the axle splines and the wheel hub. That could be because I just replaced that hub while the left is likely original, firmly in place wit...
