Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Spent this past Saturday at the LKQ yard in Greensboro NC to harvest an M56 swap. The car hit the yard 2-3 days before I got to it but was completely intact when I got there :). Feel bad for the donor car, it is a 1998 S70 T5M https://www.lkqpickyourpart.com/inventory/greensboro-1226/1998-volvo-s70...

Those temps I would guess you have one stuck caliper with no braking action.

150-180 disc temps is pretty normal

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

Ha thanks Neil, I was going to say much the same when I first saw the 99 XC70 post but resisted due to the Debbie Downer aspect.

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

bmdubya1198 has that silver S70 with what looks like charcoal mats, I've forgotten what your T5M has. I'm parting a white S70 currently, I can't remember if it has mats in it or not. Can I get more info on that white S70? In Classifieds… Miata section https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/viewto...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Used the Erik method on the gasket this time. Glued gasket to pipe with permatex aviation , then installed head without bolts. Installed water pipe bolts loosely.

Re: Recommendations for plugs, wires, rotor, distributor

DENSO are usually good parts but I would want to know country of manufacture. Unfortunately good brand names of past are being used to shill cheap crap made cheap in the industry. Even Bosch rebuilt starters and alternators have fallen prey to this.
