Re: Replacement interval for accessory and timing belt tensioner and pulleys?

No Volvo specific experience here, but on my truck I don't replace them by a schedule. I just check them by hand when the occasion arises. I had one that was short lived, and I've had one that went almost 300K miles. The short lived pulley started making noise as it ate the brass bushing up.... new...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Could someone post a picture of the area to check? What are the rocker panels and what must come off to check them for rust. Because if any car has rust, it's my poor neglected Geronimo. I want to know now before installing the $2000 in parts I've recently purchased for it. 20230703_095829.jpg Ther...

Re: Rescuing Geronimo the 2000 V70

Let me know when you're ready to do the AC system. I can meet you at makerspace and let you borrow my gauges and compressor, or you can swing by my house and use them there.

Re: SC-901 radio, why is it so great, scot850?

Why is it so good? To be 100% honest, I just like the mechanical way the CD changer works. Sound wise, the SC-900/901 units have no in-built amplifiers, so you need the external amp for them to produce sound. You can plug them in to the standard wiring, they will switch on, but you won't get any sou...

Re: Where to buy bulk rivets for mudflap and wheel liner?

I think I bought a large bag (maybe 100?) a long time ago and I think it was from eeuro. It was way cheaper than Volvo.

Re: Audio questions for 98-00 S70 V70 C70

I'm replacing the SC-816 headunits in two of my 2000 V70 base models and have some questions about the audio system. I've attached a diagram which claimed to be for a 2000 V70 for reference. 1. What are these two wires which look like antenna connectors? The diagram shows C1 and C2 which appear to ...
