Replacing the drain plug in itself doesn't really make a difference on the work load when you still have to get it up on ramps and take the big plastic cover off.

It would however save me having to stick my hand in the tray full of hot oil to retrieve the plug that I almost always manage to drop

Correct. My turbo has one. A same year NA that's in the family doesn't and there's no sign it's ever been there

On these sliding calipers I've gotten away with just pulling the caliper hard towards me. That compresses the Piston enough to remove them easily. No need to pry and risk making marks in the rotor.

The only real downside I believe is the questionable performance/economy ratio. It used fuel like a T6 but doesn't pack that much more oomph in the heavier P3 than the considerably more economical P2 2.5T (especially if you stick a software tune on the latter). On this end it never sold well for tha...

If june see this, there will be one in Florida soon. I've seen it! But already knew they existed. Call me morbid, but the hearse version in T6, would be the ultimate Volvo wagon. I've thought the same about the ambulance, it's roomier and there are more of them. Perfect for hauling bicycles around.

I used to be able to pry mine open by hand on my 01. It's a small tab up top then it folds down on top of the arm rest.

Just keep it better charged and it'll be fine.

Having the key in position 2 is for your own safety. If the airbag blows when power is restored you're not behind the wheel and can't get hurt.

An oil with a smaller span between cold and warm viscosity is in theory more stable and thus able to resist heat better long term. In practice I suspect it varies quite a lot. I would go for 5w40 regardless of conditions since it's easy to get hold of, covers everything temperature wise and provides...

That is my concern, too with switching to the 15w-40, dm635. We don't get cold that often, but we do have several days a year when we're into the teens and twenties, and those are the days I'd like to take the 960 out. I really do appreciate everyone's feedback on it. -- Simplify a bit and it gets ...

Volvo put it there for a reason. Don't mess with it other than making sure it works by cleaning it. My two cents. PS that goes for things like cats and other stuff as well. I thought cats cleaned themselves? Hence all the hairballs. It’s definitely good to just leave them where they are. :lol: Don'...
