If you don’t have codes then the gas tank is sealed up, So water in the gas is ruled out. A pressure measurement on the rail will tell you if the relay or pump is failing, that’s a typical cold weather crank, no-start diagnosis. You can also confirm with a shot if ether, or starting fluid into the s...

I bought a rebuilt rack for my 850 back in 2012 from Rack Doctor. It's worked flawlessly ever since.

Ok , Red amd Sonic blue can come too…..the end!!

Apparently you've never seen 427 in person!

427 is one of the best colors on these cars.

Some distractions in the pic but ...

You don't need to drop the tank, the connector is accessible under the cargo floor, right near the fuel pump access panel. It might take some creative fishing to get the new one in place, but it's not too hard.

Oetiker clamps used on a 2000 V70 NA FWD automatic: The measurements are estimated diameters of hoses/boots in place on their fittings. They were found by measuring the assembly with clamp and subtracting 2 mm (1 mm clamp width on each side). Axle boots - Front left: Outer boot large = 91 mm, Oetike...

It doesn’t sound like a Sensor but Diagnosing by symptom is unreliable.

Can you describe what “ low compression starting ‘ sounds like? Does the cranking change or is it just not firing?

Fuel pump relays on high mileage cars get iffy and temperamental; that’s an easy swap with a junkyard one

That sounds a bit like lawn mower syndrome. Excess gas washes down the oil in the cylinders and causes low compression. It’s usually caused by a marginal Engine coolant temperature sensor Which then commands too much gas injected ona warm start. Diagnosis. Get out the ohmmeter and compare the ECT re...

Used it as a mobile garage to do my E83 rear brakes. Ooof, I didn’t have to check spec On the pad thickness

FreeCP parts!

Trick for low clearance caliper slide bolts. Socket ratchet hits shock, but my hex bits take a 10mm ratchet in a raised boss

Blue Steel ('98 V70 base AT) recently had its coolant light come on after a two-hour drive with two of my kids in the car, but I found a Napa and topped it off. The right side of the radiator appears to have a leak about one-quarter of the way down. I see replacements with oil cooler ports, but is ...
