Re: New V70 II T5 owner - introduction and general advice

To watch fuel pressure while driving, I have run a fuel pressure line from the end of the fuel rail out the corner of the hood to view from the drivers seat. You can remove the internal check valve from the Schrader valve to get flow to the remote gauge.

Re: Crank Case Upper PCV Vent hose completely removed -- OK to drive without? || 07' XC-70

Re: Brakes are soft with no stopping power + wheel jerks to the left when braking

I don't see that you have checked for codes with a scanner. If you do not have a scanner, go to one of the chain auto parts stores and have them scan. WRITE down ALL the codes then try to clear them.
