Re: WTB: 98-00 S70 T5 16" alloy wheel

Wow, I'm glad you posted! It does appear to be the Perfo. SO, if anyone has THAT wheel, let me know :) I'll go check on the other forum you suggested too.

Re: WTB: 98-00 S70 T5 16" alloy wheel

Oh geez, ... I guess I just thought those were the right ones. Maybe the one you posted is the right wheel. I'll go take a picture of my actual wheels tomorrow morning :o

Don't want to buy the wrong wheel.

Lots of WTB wheel threads lately, ... must be a hard winter.

WTB: 98-00 S70 T5 16" alloy wheel

I hit a big pothole today, and bent my wheel :( darn Winter! None of the yards around me have one, so I'm trying here. If the wheel you have just has some lip rash, I can live with that. Just no bends or cracks please. Must be willing to ship the wheel to zip code 50312. I'm needing one of these whe...

Re: XeMODeX ETM validation is POSITIVE (With LIFETIME Warranty)

There are some exceptions, but you'll find 99.99% of all dealer mechanics (of any brand) are just part swappers. God help you if you're out of warranty and still going to a dealer. ON TOPIC: When spring cometh, XeMODeX will be getting my business. I only hope I'll make it that long. My car has now p...

Re: Ford in talks to sell Volvo to China's Changan

Unless the US government keeps propping them up, sooner than later I'd suspect. However, Bush punted the ball down the field to Obama with those bridge loans. If you read the fine print, the loans they made in December were conditional guaranteed loans. If the metrics they agreed to arent met in Mar...

Re: Autozone Diagnostic Tests.

I have one of the basic reader/clear handheld units, and I think I got it off eBayfor $30 bucks tops. Worth having around if you own a slew of OBDII cars like most of us do :)

Avoids getting hustled at AutoZone.

Re: Bosch and other throttle bodies

You just answered a couple of the questions from the other thread. I had a feeling the MM ETM was too "smart" for its own good. The other DBW systems I've looked at/worked with had external modules like your Ford. The TB itself was pretty dumb, just the usual rotary pot and a motor. That a...

Re: Finally a Non-Contacting ETM Solution?

I cant answer if you can swap ETM's around without issue as I've never tried (been under warranty until now). Hopefully someone will chime in on that. FWIW, the technician who did the last warranty ETM swap for me said that after the actual mechanical swap, he used the Volvo ECU tool to "recali...
