I think I need to go and plumb in my boost gauge before worrying about my hoses then. Thanks! :)

Hard vacuum lines 1998 Volvo S70 T5

Hi everyone! I have been lurking on this wonderful site for years. I am currently in the process of Stage Zeroing my daily driver aqua green T5 auto. Most of the rubber lines in this car were shot when I bought it, and I bought two kits of silicone lines, one rated for coolant and one for vacuum/air ...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?


Are you replacing all the cooling lines or just the connection 'O' rings at the radiator?

On the assumption yours is a 98 T5, then does it have the engine oil cooling lines still fitted? The reason is that Robert DIY has suggested replacing the oil cooler thermostats with a blanking plate and ...

Re: How do we know our airbags still work on 1998 or so?

Someone pulled an illegal left out of a gas station in front of my old 1998 S70 NA with 260k roughly on the dash. Was a rainy day and brakes with ABS wasn't enough to stop in time. Hit the corolla going about 20-30 mph? Really good impact that totaled both cars, and all the airbags went off fine. We ...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

I replaced cabin and engine filters today, prepping for a radiator refresh (new hoses, radiator, tstat and sensor). Not looking forward to replacing the oil cooling lines, but they look leaky and I have new shiny ones that are read to go!
