I have a 2001 S80 Non-Turbo (2.9) and wanted to post a comprehensive update to this after changing the heater core for myself and spending close to 1 1/2 hours searching various sites and postings for instructions. It took me about 6 hours all together but I could have done it in 2 hours if I knew s...

They updated the MAF itself with a digital SOC which would both tighten tolerances/accuracy between individual samples in addition to probably being more reliable than the earlie...

That car uses a fuel pressure sensor and then ECM reads pressure and adjusts control signal to a transistorized fuel pump controller. The fuel pressure sensor is on the left end of the fuel rail.There is a fuel pressure regulator built into the fulep pump/sender assembly cap but it is used as a back...

Within the last year my plastic portions of the intake and charge pipes had to be replaced due to leakage. The dealer simply put new parts on. It was the charge tubes that were leaking. I had no engine light or warnings that anything was wrong. After installing the new charge tubes the original clam...

Second wash was with 1 part simple green & 2 part water. The rectangle pipe connection to oil trap is between "V & U" shape. It was semi clogged -- takes brushing to clear. MVS_V70XC_2792.jpg Cleared the immediate drops. Removed the oil pick up line, now on diaper to protect and pr...
