Miracle at 1st Capitol St.

What a crazy week it has been! After the power steering rack replacement, Herman has been driving very nicely again! On Thursday I received an order for 606 units to pickup from Aldi's. Turned out to be all canned goods for a canned food drive. Took three carts to get all of those cans out of the st...

Re: Why do you (still) drive a P80?

First a small amount of background. I'm in my mid-30's now, and presently I drive deliveries for a living (while building my small business). I think to know where you're coming from you have to know where you've been. The vehicles I've driven influences what you buy in the future and what opinions ...

Re: Volvo 850 glt vacuum lines

If you're on your phone you use the link "full editor and Preview" then you use the panel labled "attachments" and load the files into that. We need more details about the car. What's the year? Turbo or No? Transmission? If it has a vacuum tank it's probably a 93-95 manual or 93-...

Re: Herman and Operation 30MPG

So I decided to try those headlight bulbs you posted about. I found the install to be quite annoying. I had to remove the housing to see what I was doing. I haven't tested them at night yet. My bulbs have the large heatsinks with a cooling fan installed. Should I leave the covers off to prevent ove...

Re: Reliability of V70XC 1998 in the electronics aspect?

I've had a 96 and a 95 850 and I've never had any mystery electrical problems. They were all part of the common wear and tear issues that have been extremely well documented. For example the abs module, and the ignition switch. I have had two no start situations, one being a faulty MAF (I replaced w...

Re: What were you doing on May 17, 1990?

I was 4 years old and I was probably watching Ghostbusters the animated series. Climbing a tree or crying because my dad forgot to feed me and instead decided to play guitar.

Re: Herman and Operation 30MPG

Okay. Small update. Well, Covid killed my job. So I've done less than 1000 miles since my last update. So that kinda sucks. But, I'm doing fine and I've switched focuses so that's all cool. I've had some time to start some "luxury" projects. I attempted to repair my failed headliner. Repai...

Re: Engine comparison 2.3T vs 2.5T

So we call that the 2.4 low pressure turbo here in the US. The 2.5T is the later low pressure turbo used in the s60 etc. The biggest difference between your current engine and the original engine is slightly higher compression 9.6 vs 8.5 IIRC, and slightly larger pistons 81mm vs 83mm IIRC. Someone p...

Re: Timing Belt &water Pump Time...

Should be identical to an 850. Its not a difficult job, just take your time, notate your timing, and double check everything. A Cam locking tool is nice, but not 100% necessary. I used the FCP euro oem kit. Continental Belt, Aisin water pump, and whatever pulleys and idlers. Make sure you get a shor...
