Hi All, I was searching this site and the web for timing belt service schedules as my s60 I have is at 8.5 years with 52,000km's since it was last done. Anyway, I found this: Volvo_TB_Schedule.pdf May be of interest to others. Mods, If this is a double up then please delete this topic (I couldn't fi...

Hey everyone, going to be doing a manual transmission oil drain this weekend and just wanted to rehash this topic. I know there have been quite a few write ups about which kind of gear oil to use, but just wanted to share this information with any new users. (Such as myself.) The gear oils listed be...

DIY 2005 XC90 Sunroof drain maintenance Old topic but once every 10 years, I'd clean this drain tube to prevent overflow of water inside cabin, causing expensive damage. Very very easy thing to do. About 10-15 min per side. TOOLS: - Small screwdriver - 8-mm socket and extension - Zip ties (optional...

Hi! 1670 can be the antenna ring or bad connections. 1618 is bad communications between tranny and M4.3, and it should set a CEL, me thinks - the TCM will ask the ECM to set an MIL.

I saw another post about one of these on this site today. If you are in the market for a rebuilt power steering rack, I'd stay...

While I am now cautiously that the re-built ABS module from Matty at Mid-West ABS has fixed all the random issues, I will need more time/distance to be sure. The unit turned up last Friday out of the blue. Good old Canada Post had the unit showing as being in Ontario and due for delivery this Wednes...

Pictures to come, but nothing gory. I dodged a big bullet with this one (for damage, not safety) One would thing with my experience attaching, tying down and loading I would not have made such an elementary mistake, but its the last time anyone here will make it. The hook slipped off and luckily I h...

Fun Weekend: Swapped out some front and rear engine mounts on my brother's V70. - Had to loosen the fan shroud to do the job... (This doesn't have to be done on the Manual Transmission P80s!) Mounts weren't oozing yet, but compressed by over a cm! Took me 6 hours the first time around. This time aro...
