An updated video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKcDOLIYR3A Great video. I did watch Your previous one about lubricating the brake booster seal and ordered the PTFE/ silicon lube from EBay, because you’re mentioning being slightly thinner versus the Volvo lubricant Do you still recommend using thi...

You just had a first experience with a shark shop. you may name them here or go on local.google.com and leave a nice review to make aware their future customers. as mentioned, you need to see another place, and yes, the coils or spark plugs they've installed may have cause the check engine light. by...

As above, don't mess with your pass seat because of that weight/SRS sensor, rather get a bottom section and the spring base from the junk yard No for complete seat swap, just swap the bottom cushion complete with the foam, skin and spring base. You'll need a 2004-up seat. These are not too bad to sw...
