Ty CN 90. Compared to OEM Bosch injectors are inexoensive. If you have used Bosch, how have they worked out?

Fuel-injector additive - Risks? '07 V70 140K

Hello,
A cylinder was misfiring. Replaced one failing injector plus coils & plugs. Once warmed up car runs, idles great.

However, cold-starts are wobbly - for the first time ever. Like mini-misfires - just a few seconds then the idle steadies.

Thought maybe some of the remaining injectors might ...

Re: Detailed Maintenance Sched? ‘07 v70 140k

Krons, solid advice, but failing sensors are the problem. Many are inexpensive and easy to replace. So I’d imagined a schedule that lists the sensors, and their typical lifespan. So I can replace before they fail. Ty.

Detailed Maintenance Sched? ‘07 v70 140k

Hello,
V70 P2 140k - Sensors are failing regularly. And I’d like to start replacing them before they go.

Is there a thorough, detailed maintenance schedule for the P2? One that addresses sensors, and other small critical stuff?
Thanks!

Re: Have you replaced TPMS sensors on their P2 Volvo?

I've replaced 3 TPMS in recent years at a local Goodyear. About $125 for the job each. My understanding is they self-program during the first 20 minutes or so of driving.

Re: 2001 s60 !---Totally Stumped on Engine Misfire

'07 V70 I had misfire turned out to be a combination of 1 bad injector and a coil failing intermittently. Replaced the injector and all coils - running good for now.

Re: 2004 S60 - Best Ride Comfort Advice

I switched from Z-rated to softer tires. Improved the ride. Also new engine torque mounts reduce vibration and the ride feels smoother.
