Clean container. Drop oil filter housing, catch oil reseat, reinstall. Put oil back in Drive 5-10 miles Check dipstick and top off if needed. ^^^Don't take advise from this guy, he reuses oil. :roll: Pick up a quart of oil anyway. If it looks clean enough, you should be fine to put it back in. Othe...

Re: Front end clunk... Anyone tried these ?

OP- your noise is most likely the subframe bushings. My subframe bushings are in bad shape, the front end clunks SO bad when I'm turning tightly. The front end also wanders a little bit when I'm doing more than like 70 mph. I also notice when I hit close to lock in the steering wheel, it almost feel...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today? (now Sticky!!)

Probably a pinhole leak. Just replace it soon before it becomes a large leak!

Re: 1996 850 Dust in Airbox from SAS?

That is just gross... it looks like the filter was burned. I don't think I've ever seen this happen from the SAS pump, but I would say that's where it's coming from. Pull off the hose from the pump side and see if there is any of that rusty yellow crap in there. I'm pretty sure (but not 100% positiv...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today? (now Sticky!!)

Replaced the timing belt yesterday. Replaced the heater core and cleaned the interior on Sunday. Today I cleaned the carpets and made a run to the u-pull it for a bunch of parts. I got an almost new overflow bottle and green cap, set of 4 floor mats, hood release, coil, 2 hub caps, 2 year old Volvo...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today? (now Sticky!!)

I usually use FCP for parts... their lifetime warranty is unbeatable and their prices are usually the best. They should have AWD rear rotors.

Re: Volvo 850 t5 conversion

I think there have been a couple (max) Megasquirt P80s. It's doable, but not easy. Fortunately it seems the 10 valve cars have less sensors and whatnot, so it might be easier to adapt? I'm not too familiar with standalone ECUs. Search on Volvospeed and Turbobricks... you're not going to find that le...

Re: P0455 and P0442 Return... '98 V70 GLT

This may help: When the EVAP canister shut-off valve is closed the fuel tank system should be sealed. When the EVAP canister purge valve is activated the fuel tank pressure must fall to a set negative pressure or it will be interpreted as a major leak. Then the canister purge valve closes. Fuel tan...
