Re: MVS Discord server?

Sorry for a late response. Honestly, these are some good answers and comments. Thanks.

I find myself uninstalling it a lot. If anything, I feel a lot of the social media makes people less social, and more alone at home with their phone.

MVS Discord server?

Is there a discord server out there for members of Matthews Volvo site? If not, what servers are people on?

Re: New MVS t-shirts are in!

Eeeh... Looks like it's only Medium left. That's what I get for not logging in more often. 😅 Any chance for another pre-order run? Those next level shirts are awesome, already have a few from a different community.

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

IMG_20210929_192318093.jpg Replaced the alternator on my 850 last weekend. Man, what a job. Supposed to be super easy, "just undo these bolts" according to the Haynes book. Nope! Tight spaces, hard to reach, but it was done eventually. I was able to do it without touching the oil level di...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Replaced two vacuum hoses this time, but throttle response is still weak. Will die if clutch is released too quick. 🤔 Attempted to change the pollen filter. Ehm, no. 😅 Looks like this car has been breathing dirty air all it's life. No wonder the AC doesn't blow cold. The battery also lost all it's c...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Hey, that loud bang at every speed bump. I'd look at the top mount for the rear shock. Mine was doing the same thing and to my chagrin, I discovered that the mount had completely sheared. It was only a $40 part and less than an hours work to replace. Oh really? Nice, sounds like an easy fix. I woul...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Last weekend I did the oil change and filter. Also did timing belt and timing belt accessories... IMG_20210821_151312805.jpg Spark plugs and water pump IMG_20210821_141832220.jpg Starts right up, no hiccups, so I think the fuel filter is good. But the throttle is kinda weak. I have to ease it to sta...

Re: 0w20 oil on 850 awd?

I have to say to love this one… If you can't fix it, you don't own it. Quote from a certain poplular diy electronics repair shop... I don't forget the feeling after successfully replacing the battery in my old iPhone 5S. 😎 I should mention that the dealer gave me 0w30. Not 0w20. I still think it's ...

Re: 0w20 oil on 850 awd?

Welcome, and nice ride ! I agree - nothing less than 30 weight. I would lean toward 40 myself. How many miles are on it ? Thanks for the many useful replies people! Ah, it's got about 208,731 miles. Over 200k miles of small, cold, and short city trips. Probably. I usually go for a longer drive in t...
