Re: SC-816 CD Changer and iPod Switcher

Nice job.

Is there a way to do this modification without already owning the CD changer? Any accessories/adapters to go from the HU CD changer port to 1/8th stereo?

Time for an airbag replacement? 98 V70

Hi All, I recently checked out the sticker on my driver's door, and it said to replace/service my entire airbag system in April 2008. We purchased the car in Sept. 1998... Is this a time-sensitive problem? Can I just get the airbags checked without a full dealer service? Thanks! --Scott '98 V70 non-...

High Mileage Oil--98 V70

Hey all- I've got a '98 V70 non-turbo with 230,000 miles. I've recently been using some high mileage oil to condition the rings and reduce the blow-by. The question is, who makes the best high mileage oil? I've been using Penzoil, but the conditioners wear out after a while... Any ideas? Thanks! -Sc...

Rislone?

Hey everyone-- I've been getting a blue puff of smoke every time I accelerate from a stoplight when the car is warm. I've been told this is a blow-by, caused by some oil leaking into the chamber before the acceleration. I was suggested a product, "Rislone Ring Seal" and was told that it wo...

Blue Smoke

So the question is, are there any great high mileage oils? I've used penzoil, and it hasn't helped much...

Blue Smoke

Hey Everyone-- When I accelerate from a stop while my 1998 v70 non-turbo is warm, I get a huge puff of blue smoke out of the exhaust. A mechanic has told me that high mileage oil helps a bit (I do have 225,000 miles) by lubricating something inside the engine. Any ideas for a real fix? Thanks! Scott

1998 V70 Seats

Hi everyone-- My 98 v70 seats are beginning to crack. I haven't been the best on caring for the leather, so I should probably start now... I've got the tan seats and only the front are cracking, just from typical use, I assume. Does anyone have any suggestions on a solution that can stop the crackin...
