Re: Oil pan removal and reseal

Blacklab467,
Thanks for the detailed pictorial. I know how much effort it takes to produce this type post.

Re: Extreme axle restoration - good or bad idea?

I will weigh in again to say I would not be worried about strength loss on these thick, solid axles. The car will not be drag raced. The balance will not be changed in any significant way. To get out of balance you need large mass far from centerline at the speeds the axle turns.

Re: About Diagnostics

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

I fixed the right rear light circuit board problem by scraping some of the insulating film to extend the conducting area. I also used some duct tape to hold another socket in contact because of the mice modification mess.

Re: Tailgate open message - Volvo XC70

If your 2003 XC70 is like my 2001 V70 (they are both P2 models) there is a switch in the rear hatch lock mechanism that indicates the hatch is open. My hatch locking motor failed years ago and to prevent this open hatch warning, I believe I cut a wire at the switch. I need to look at it again to con...
