Re: Cracking rattle from the middle top dashboard

Yours sounds a little different than mine, but the sound location seems to be the same so here's my small fix, at about 2:30 into the video. Also I mention in the video to lube the sunroof seal with handcream - this is a bad idea, don't use it (my seal did shrink after some time because of that crea...

There is also the possibility of the belt itself 'wobbling' over the cam gears, this is usually related to a tensioner problem (same thing when the belt runs near one edge of the hub...

The 'coldest' one seems to be a Rain-x on Walmart USA. There may some marketing opportunities for Alaska perhaps :)

Re: Replace heater core

I believe it's better to drain the coolant indeed. If the problem is no (or not enough) cabin heat, try first the Prestone Flush treatment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69ymGTqHxRw Don't forget to test the thermostat as well www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQxQnuU22Ow If you decide to go with a new heater...

Re: Didn't do proper disconnect/reconnect battery

Re: 225/55R17 tyres on V70

Wanted to add that usually - not sure if everywhere around the world, the factory tire size specification is to be found behind the gas filling door. That tire dimension (including the tire wall size) has been used to calibrate the car speedometer.

Re: Dealer oil change vs chain oil change

Jiffy lube is more of a scam and can mess a car real quick and forget about backing their job. They also use cheap oil and filters. Plus Volvo has a specific tool to remove the oil filter. But what's not told - perhaps it says it in the video linked - is that those shops are only about pushing other...
