Re: Misfires and much more

If you double click on those cylinder misfire codes traffic icons it should have counters if I remember correctly. These cars are old enough that a code coming up once doesn't worry me. If it keeps appearing then it is worthy of attention. If you're having misfires you would have known. The car woul...

CV Shaft replacement tip for circlip - shaft won't go in

I tried transplanting the circlip from old shaft, etc, just wouldn't go in no matter what I did if the circlip was on it.

Re: P80 front wheel bearing - Questions!

If you use anti-seize I believe the torque is to be reduced to ~80% of spec. I wouldn't want to do that. If I were to use anything, I'd use the green, because frankly the assembly isn't going to rattle apart short of you sending it to space and back.

Re: V70 1999 I was driving along and the car shuts off. Instruments on the dash went bananas.Now have a p1618 code.

Also check the smaller cable that comes off the positive terminal. This handles everything except the starter if I'm remembering correctly.

Do you have a battery hold down in place? When I didn't, said cable would loosen on the terminal and I'd end up with everything going lights out & dead.

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Went to replace panhard/stay on rear of '99 XC today. Found additional damage such as a sway bar mount being destroyed. Hit everything with Fluidfilm for now, will be back under there when I return to US.

Re: Rusty Rockers

If it were me - hit it with a needle scaler, some rust converter, self etching primer and then some paint.
