The problem has been solved.

It was a bad battery or defective Battery since it did start the car like a champ when the temperature was Hot.

When Cold it was hard to tell that battery failed.

Making a separate thread of this, because it's basically an addendum to the existing guide for doing a turbo rebuild yourself. Here's the existing guide: https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/refurbish-a-volvo-turbo/ The original author, Peter - and, thank you - sourced a used turbo, rebuilt it, and the...

Stay clear of the “ start to see if it will run” let the buyers sort that out. Sell as a non-runner, as is, will not start. and don’t let the buyers start it either. Anyone who isn’t capable of a refurb is just a flipper who will low ball it , anyway. If there is no action, you can try get it runnin...

Yes siree... BUT! I have good news: I got the Volvo started up! It appears there is a safety feature on the 2007 V50 2.4i (and possibly other variants), where the fuel pump is disabled after large impacts. Here are the steps I took to get it working, and a potential unknown(?) that may or may not ha...

End of the story. I don't like reading hanging threads. Anyway, I sucked it up and ordered the whole new lock cylinder pre-cut to my existing keys. After spending a good 1/4 of the value of the car, I had it home. Waited a week and got my courage up and got my Dremel out and tried the first bolt, on...

He's taking a big gamble with such low profile tires, eh?

As we were being warned last week that there was colder weather coming and a chance of snow for yesterday, I decided to stop procrastinating and actually change the winter tires on our son's car for newer ones. The tires are coming up for 7 years old in the spring so with a tire sale on at Canadian ...
