Fuel pressure sensor $43 from ipd installed today according to:

As in the video, this was quick and easy to do in my car—some other configurations such as turbo models seem to make the bolt that holds the sensor in place more difficult to access.

Got a diagnosis of a bad fuel pressure sensor. Not sure exactly how this was determined, but the mechanic said the fuel pump was all good. The shop didn't have the sensor on hand, and I had plans to keep moving, so I decided to wait to get home to replace it. Having driven it to Toronto with no ...

My 2003 V70 (227k mi) has now gone into limp mode while driving three times (in past week/ 1k miles). Twice this was with all dashboard fault lights coming on momentarily and then going off (CEL stays on). Each time, I pulled over, shut off, restarted, and the car drove as normal. There are no other ...

I understand the car to have an 80L (21 gal) fuel tank—but a significant part of this is "reserve" not indicated on the gauge...
I usually drive until about the point the gas gauge needle starts to dip into the red ("1/8") and will pump about 14 gal to fill it back up to MAX—usually right around 400 ...

This is admittedly a completely idle, immaterial question... but I thought someone might have info! I use the trip computer (2003 v70) to check on my gas mileage average and instantaneous — just seeing a number there makes me a more efficient driver. I have seen people on here say that the trip ...

Thanks all for the wisdom. Was wondering specifically about *what* makes the fluids incompatible, i.e. what effect mixing them has on the system. It's probably a stretch, but I wondered if this might have any connection to leaks emerging in the first place.

In any case, I'll keep topping up, might ...

Hi,
I have a 2003 v70 showing signs of a leak in the rack. The local Volvo specialist quoted $2700 for OEM replacement (citing issues with rebuilt racks that I have seen discussed in various threads here, but saying that it can be done with a rebuilt rack if selected carefully). I was told that if I ...

I inspected the oil filler cap gasket—it has never been replaced to my knowledge, but it looks good. I will replace it just in case!
No turbo on this one so I'm assuming that the drain pipe issue is not relevant.

I'm trying to get as far as I can figuring things out and testing them myself, even ...

My saga continues... After the new PCV/oil trap box installation, the engine continues to pass the glove test (yes, at higher RPMs as well), but the engine is now leaking oil more severely than before. I have no wisdom on the source of the leak but will have to take it in to a shop again. It does ...

Just had this done locally. Was billed for 4.5h labour and the total bill for PCV system replacement came to $700 with parts. The mechanic wanted to drop and clean the oil pan, I declined, but this may have been the wrong call—my engine is still leaking. His quote with the oil pan cleaning was $1500 ...
