Volvo does say if its "Air distribution selector" is in AUTO position ECC will control some functions and tells to put it in any other position (for some reasons..). I have heard and asked previously is it normal if both passenger and driver move at the same time (or reports so). Though i ...

It’s the rare Volvo XC80

I managed to fight the down pipe off Shagg. Head is in the machine shop. I found most of the gaskets I need for the engine job.

Three of the down pipe nuts needed Dremel and I will replace. Ugly.

I want to thank Neil for his assistance in acquiring a part in Canada. He had posted a link in the classified section here and I contacted the seller via kijji. Settled on price but the money transaction was a problem from the US side as the seller had no way to get him the money. I contacted Neil t...

2000 V70 with lotsa miles (270,000 plus). Some thoughts on the rear suspension bushing R&R job. Removal was a bear, replacement a relative dream. Rear up on jack stands, wheels off. Removed RH shock at bottom to free up swing arm travel on that side. Worst part, removing the splined-head bolts t...

The upper one should have a wedged shaped piece of metal under the front hole and a bolt and washer if I recall correctly attached from the top. As you tighten the bolt the metal bar under it is wedged on the top and it squeezes the 2 sides together. I have only seen that version on a 96 850 I worke...

This may be a sign that I'm a pack rat, but I'm hoping you all won't criticize me too much for keeping this old terminal for the past 11 years since removing it. You never know when you're going to need one and I'm generally inclined to save each piece I remove in case the replacement turns out to b...

Persistent code said bad front O2 sensor and it's safety inspection time, no engine codes allowed. So I decided to do this. I went absolutely el-cheapo way with a universal 4 wire sensor from eBay, $10 plus state tax, free shipping. They responded that it shipped almost immediately, same day, late T...

bmdubya1198 has that silver S70 with what looks like charcoal mats, I've forgotten what your T5M has. I'm parting a white S70 currently, I can't remember if it has mats in it or not. Can I get more info on that white S70? In Classifieds… Miata section https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/viewto...

I believe they're the same, yes.

I thought I would share some of my experiences while rebuilding an aftermarket LEFT propeller axle from a 1998 S70-T5. Both boots were ripped. Fortunately the car was sitting unused and the C.V. joints were in good condition. What could go wrong? Well plenty. I brought the axle to a shop that allowe...
