Checking my profile, I created an account 13 years ago, so that was the first time I had something worth saying to the group. Before that I silently read and learned from the masters. There's a lot of people making bogus YouTube videos that gloss over the tough steps, but byte for byte, your best ed...

Hello everyone! It's been awhile but I've something quite cool to share with you guys! The second of July, the biggest and very well-known car magazine of western Europe, AutoWeek, interviewed me and made a video about my S70. The videos/interviews are called "klokje rond", which we call i...

Sorry for the delay in responding. I believe my brother was able to resolve the issue with a new speed sensor? The car is shifting fine again... though I am keeping a 2007 XC70 as a backup. My brother is more of a P2 nut than me. He did use an OEM spec trans fluid. There are no delays shifting betwe...

Sure, there is a speed sensor under the airbox, but that is the input sensor. The output sensor (that was replaced) is near where the lower coolant hose connects on the engine side. Here are direct quotes via text: "This (below) is a screenshot from a post on Swede speed. Any AW transmission 01...

Home + 1800 miles……..

Btw, a non-working sensor could absolutely cause slipping etc. The speed sensor is important for the calculation of inertia(there is a fallback to a working speed source e.g abs). And inertia is directly proportional to the pressure applied, since inertia is used for pretty much all pressure maps in...

This is conservatively a half-million dollars in Yellows. That's 16*$30k. The pedestrian, but otherwise very nice, T5 wagon converted to manual just sold close to $20k on Bring a Trailer, mentioned here yesterday... so I think $30k for a Yellow is conservative these days. 364 sedans imported to the ...

Weird issue. Hard to condemn anything right away given "starts well", " runs and drive well with plenty of power"... Honorable Volvolugnut might be right with his idea of water pump being behind this issue. 2 possible ways how it might be acting up. 1- pump is worn and requires h...

CN90 before suggesting something please say " I think it can be...". If my knowledge is correct(which i think it is in this case) PEM started to be used in MY2004. If I am not correct, please correct me. Extra level of thank you for volvolugnut for correcting my post. I should try to be mo...

I use old tooth brushes and for the hard to move crusty stuff, careful use of a small brass brush and a paint scraper.

Good Luck!
