Re: Cell phone mount for the 850

I drive for Uber and Lyft, this is the one I use. Just mounts to the vent and holds your phone with a magnet. You need a case for your phone to slide in the thin sheet of metal.

Re: Wagon cargo storage organization

I'll also make it so that it can be slid back onto the back seats in case I need to get the spare tire out; I don't want to have to try and lift the entire thing out of the car and back in again, especially if it's loaded with tools and such. That is a great idea! I was thinking about how to deal w...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today? (now Sticky!!)

If you did not already do so, pull the dipstick out slightly to relieve pressure in the crankcase. Wrap a cloth around it to reduce chances of oil spill and it may also help reduce the oil smell in the cabin. Driving the car like this is likely to blow oil seals and if the rear main goes it gets ver...

Re: '00 V70XC runs well but smokes, uses oil

You have a problem with 4th cyl.
Higher viscosity oil will not help on that.
It WOULD help in the case that ALL of 5cyl have lower but EVEN compression.
Could be bad rings on that cyl. or a valve on it that is failing.

Re: '00 V70XC runs well but smokes, uses oil

Thicker engine oil may change the compression numbers if you have an engine ring problem. The change should be seen on all 5 cylinders as an increase. If you have another problem the oil weight change will most likely have zero effect. I would suggest you pull the spark plugs and look at them. You a...

Re: 19 year old V70xc... rear end sagging. Aftermarket Nivomats?

You have 2 options...direct replacement for factory nivomats or like those one from video.
When they go bad they start to leak.When they leak for a while they start to loose the abillity for self leveling due to oil starvation.

Suspected front sensors to be dirty: used lots of anti rust to get bolts loose during control arm replacement a few weeks back. W...
