Re: S70 Transmission Problem
See if you can get the car scanned cheaply or buy a Volvo bidirectional scanner for like 200-250cad. Volfcr will also work if you can setup virtual box with a vagcom kkl cable. If you are in central Ontario then shoot me a message. The 850 OBDII app and a cheap ELM327 dongle is an Android port of t...

Re: Sticking Brake Caliper - 2000 V70
Looks like you only replaced the caliper itself, not the bracket. Did you also replace the pins? Did you also replace the line? Would suggest both if not.
Would also do the pads up front. Genuine Volvo or Textar only if you want the car to actually stop - no ceramic crap.

Re: P80 heater temperature data
I’ve combined the two - found a minty P2 wood wheel and retrofitted it into my P80. Here’s a crap photo since I can’t find a better one at the moment https://www.swedespeed.com/attachments/1728693352607-png.263052/?auto=webp&fit=bounds&format=pjgp&height=1920&optimize=high&width=...

Re: Thoughts on Injector Cleaner?
If you’re worried about getting quality gas, only go to Top Tier stations. They have more stringent standards on quality and additives and generally aren’t any more money than any other station. The difference is notable in both my ‘98s, which are tuned to within an inch of their lives. Top tier 93 ...

Re: Thoughts on Injector Cleaner?
Complete and total waste of money. All grades of gasoline already contain all of the detergents required. It's much more beneficial to the health of you engine to be running premium gas in these cars.

Re: Rear LSD gear oil - 1997 Volvo 850 AWD
So for the untrained in rear diff locking units, what is the difference between the Eaton G80 and the limited slip differential in the way they operate? For me, a great learning opportunity! Neil The G80 and similar auto-locker style diffs use weights in the center section that fling out when wheel...

Re: Rear LSD gear oil - 1997 Volvo 850 AWD
As far as I remember it actually is an Eaton G80. Locks the same way as one - too much wheel speed variation and it locks together violently and stays that way until you let off the power. You can also spin one wheel too fast by hand with the car in the air and it will lock solid with enough wheel s...

Re: Rear LSD gear oil - 1997 Volvo 850 AWD
97 850 AWD is the same as x70 '98 AWD. Technically it's not an LSD, it's an auto locker. Operates off difference in wheel speed and isn't clutch based
