Re: $10,000 S80 Challenge

All, Here is my next update. The air conditioning in my S80 wasn't getting cold enough. It worked reasonably well at highway speed but not so well sitting at the traffic lights. I hooked up my gauges to check the pressure and I found the following AC set to max cooling Low side pressure - 50 PSI HIG...

Re: Spark Plugs: Copper vs Iridium vs Platinum FF#32

S, I'm not sure if I understand your question/comment I recommended (for the 3.2 Liter) Denso SK20HR11 - this is the stock plug and it is an excellent choice for longevity Denso (5344) IKH20 Iridium Power - a good choice for smoother idle and better part throttle application Denso (4704) IKH20TT Iri...

Don't open the Mylar Bag until you are ready to install the desiccant in the condenser. The cap that holds the bag in place uses a Torx T-70 fastener. ...

Re: 2010 XC70 A/C Receiver Drier Location

Engine off - yes (don't run the engine with the transmission attached and no fluid in the sump, or at least don't do it for very long) To get out that much fluid I lifted the vehicle from the right side and then I lowered it...
