Re: What non automotive projects and repairs are you doing?

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Re: $10,000 S80 Challenge

I my state, all too often, a tire is considered worn if the cord is showing more than 1/4 the way around. Really, I see this a lot. Avoid Oklahoma in your travels.

Re: Changing out the Fuel filter

The fuel manifold is the shiny straight tube in the center of xheart's photo. The fuel bleed valve is in the tiny blue cap on the right end of the manifold. The manifold may have plastic cover (Item 4). But you should not need to remove this cover.
