Just need to decide if I want marmalade sandwiches...

Almost as painful to live with!

The evap is worth paying for. To put it in perspective, the original has lasted this long. One more will hopefully last longer. Also depending on when you installed the cabin filter mode from a V/C/S 70 the new one could last longer. Pilling the dash is not as bad as it is made out. Getting the evap...

Pull the cabin air filter , if equipped, and inspect the evaporator for dark oily stains that show leakage. Freon leaks will carry a bit of the PAG oil which will stick dust and dirt and leave markers. If it’s from 96, I would replace it prophylactically. You can Dremel off the evaporator from the h...

I had evaporator raplacement job last year. What a job! I bought Nissens evaporator,NRF dryer and,while i'm in that area,heater core(NRF). Two orings for heater core was ordered from Volvo(around 20€). Total cost for parts only was around 280€ + professional ac shop review and vacuuming & fillin...

Plus one with Dr. Abscate - and Robert - if it gets another dryer, that's a bench job.
( Robert has almost as many P80s as I do, but my yard is bigger.)

My 2005 xc90 has the same 5 cylinder interference engine as all the p80s. My timing belt broke while sitting in traffic. I did not know this at the time and spent several weeks troubleshooting the problem. In that time I turned the engine over like 1000 times. When I discovered the broken timing bel...

When you golf like me you only need a 5 iron and a putter
