Control arms

Does anyone know what's different between the Meyle 5160500100HD control arm from FCP, and the Meyle 5160500016HD control arm on clearance at eEuroparts? Besides the letter "R" stamped in a different spot and the bolts being included.

Side question, are the Meyle control arms any good?

You can order those part numbers from whoever you want. You don't have to buy them from Skandix.

Skandix lists 1332455 and 9125615 as substitutes, but your mileage may vary.

Re: ABS activating at low speeds, no ABS light - Volvo V70 1998

Misha knows what he's talking about. CI codes don't turn on any lights. The service light comes on purely based on mileage and time. It turned off because you cleared it with your scanner.

When you have the scanner plugged in, is the ABS light flashing? This means it's in diagnostic mode and the ...

Re: Overcooling 1998 S70 t5

OE was Valeo/SWF. But it looks like they were discontinued this year. So unless you can get hold of one... I would probably go with the (expensive) Volvo blue box part, which you can still get for now.

Note that if the Meyle ECT is your problem, then your car is not actually taking too long to warm ...

Re: Best brand left cv axle for replacement, 1998 V70

If it's not clicking on turns, you can 100% get away with pulling the axle, repacking the bearings, and putting new boots on.

I have to admit I replaced one of mine using a split boot, without pulling the axle or properly repacking the bearings. This was fairly recent, so I don't know how well it ...

Re: 2000 S70 GLT Demented Electronics

You need to fix the engine cooling system properly first, because the ECU will disengage the AC compressor clutch if the engine is getting too hot. Is the check engine light on? Is the check engine light burnt out?

Re: 1992 850 GLT crank no start, no spark

Those are generic instructions. The power stage is part of the ignition coil. It's the little box that goes from the 4-pin connector to the 2 wires. On the 240, it was a separate part. I don't think any 850 had a separate power stage.

Re: 99 Volvo v70

ECT itself may be the problem, but check the wiring/connector near the ECT.

If the ECT signal is not valid, the car will not increase the fuel mix while starting, resulting in hard starts. It's possible you may have bumped the wiring while changing the oil.

I believe after you replace the ECT or ...
