On a T5 I would expect to have the higher 803 with amplifier, double front door speakers, and dash speaker, but no rear sub.

That seems normal because right after driving the battery has some extra voltage th...

You may try to find a shorter belt from another car, and bypass the compressor too, to get enough grip on the alternator which has a heavy pulley. Not sure if the tension will be correct, perhaps just drive more gently on the gas pedal. May try to measure the length with a rope

You have to remove the exhaust cover plate and look on a shelf right behind the exhaust cam side of the cylinder head, and clean it with a paper towel and gunk remover Right “behind” to the left side of the water pipe I wish mine was looking this good 8) On P2 cars Volvo hired an old lady to stamp ...
