The dashboard kickpanel of my 1998 Volvo V70 I has a broken tab where it should be held in place by a screw under the steering wheel. While the previous owner "fixed" that by screwing a drywall screw into the side of the kickpanel, I preferred a more lasting repair... PXL_20240325_21572215...

Both door marker lights in my V70 I were broken (well, one was missing entirely), so I bought two new used ones (very inexpensively) which are not broken.. However today I found out that they are in fact broken as well, the clip is broken off on one and cracked on the other one... PXL_20240407_14561...

Wish I had gotten a final set of pics before the salvage man hauled her away. I took EVERYTHING! Door handles and latches, weather stripping, bulbs, every sensor I could expose... EVERYTHING from the interior down to the sound proofing! Even got the elusive master cylinder with booster!!

I’m still wrestling with if I should pull the OE rack of Shagg before sending to crusher. It’s got 250k miles on it, didn’t leak. I do have engine out so rack is an easy pull. I probably will as I want the alloys , and once I commit to flat bed , off comes the rack

The depth of tech knowledge in forums like MVS is way too much for AI... today. Or Since about 2010, I and everyone here are AI bots. xHeart, you're the only real one left. I'm sorry about this news. Abscate and BlackBart were especially difficult to create and run. Each uses 10,000 Nvidia GPUs and ...

Hello everyone, my V70 I had deteriorated sway bar bushings and since you're supposed to change the whole sway bar in that case, this was an issue, as the sway bar is NLA from Volvo and there are no third party suppliers. Therefore I worked with Skandix to have new ones made by a reputable suspensio...

Late last year I disassembled and repaired the drivers side headlight wiper actuator in my 2000 V70. I took some photos of the process but haven't posted them anywhere until now. There are tutorials online about how to get the actuators out of the car. The component that fails is the solid state fus...

I washed the Volvo last night, using some "ceramic" shampoo, gave it a nice shine. Today I kept going at it, focused on the plastic trim which had faded. I went at it using a product called Sonax Plastic Restorer. Not silicone based. Some before/after shots: https://i.imgur.com/ir7eR7Yh.jp...

What ChuckW said above.. RE this comment by gwcook: I bought a sacrificial ECU to mess around with (got the P/N from the list on M4.4 wiki, and it looks to be exactly what I ordered), and just set it up on the bench. I'm using a power supply that can go up to 16v, so I set it at 15v to ensure I was ...

What do you do with an old air bag?? Really ?? I have 2 in the garage (Dr and Ps) that probably came out of my old '96 GLT. Not sure how to dispose of them, and I'm not up for a hurtful prank on anyone. I actually pondered swapping the Ds one into her car recently as I chased down the SRS code. @Go...
