Re: Volvo Findings! (What have you found on Craigslist?)

. If I have to change the Turbo on the Project 2007 S60 2.5T then: 1) Will this work? 2) How much more work? 3) Are exhaust manifold bolts easy to break? 4) Is it worth the effort and cost? 5) What are the gains and benefits? Sound and psychological only :lol: ? Volvo P2 Japanifold Exhaust Manifold...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

I bet it's a big relief! It's always a pain fighting with stuff like that.

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

The constant tension clamps are used on coolant hoses on MANY cars, primarily American and Asian. European cars are pretty much the only ones I work on that don't use many of them.

More than likely a junk cap, I wouldn't use those Gates caps. Only use OEM expansion tank caps.

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

The stock caps on these Volvos are just fine, I haven't heard of any issues resulting from the pressure. I would keep the OE 1.5 bar cap.

Re: '99 V70 Base ETS lit

Junkyards, eBay, etc. Anywhere you can find used parts, really. I always try to grab the later (2013 or so) date code units from the yards, as those as the best solution IMO (as Abscate said).

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

It's hard to tell if that's corrosion or coolant residue on the pipes, but if it's coolant it may be time to replace. Otherwise, the OE hoses do last a really long time.
