The sears didn't have it. And we don't have snap-on in state college. Only Pepboys and advance auto parts. Neither of the above had it. However, I've found an online retailer. I ordered it.
Thanks though.

Where to buy 40 Torx 7" extension bit (Thermostat job)?

Hi,

I tried to change the thermostat without the extension 40T. As expected FAILED. The local shops don't have it, that's why I didnot had it in the first place. Can anyone advise on where to buy? Thanks

Might be a broken connector.

You may try to look under the seat and follow the cables to the thermosthat connection. There are two connectors that plug into the thermostat. They have a tendency to break (the cable breaks loose from the connector). You can just get a similar connector, tear the plastic housing open and put the n...

What kind of vibration?

What kind of vibration did you feel? It might as well be the reason that the wheels might need a high speed balance too. However, if that is the first year for the AWD, maybe you might consider another S70. And in my opinion, 2WD volvos are as good as the AWD ones. You may want to buy a T5 instead. ...

Did you check A1? or just the OBD system?

If you're checking it through the OBD connector under the coin tray, you may not get any codes because of the reason that not all transmission codes trigger an engine fault. Try the procedure described below. http://www.volvospeed.com/CheckEngine.htm Sometimes the mode selector switch (Win/Econ/Sprt...

Thanks, I suspected that they were talking about that too. I'll go there and pick up my brick in an hour, Then I will be sure that whether they are talking about that bushing or not.

There's no upper ball joint on 850 front end. IS IT?

Hi, Just got the word from my dealer that my brick's front right upper ball joint has gone bad and had to be replaced. Part and labor costs $310. As far as I know there's NO upper balljoint-control arm in 850s. Am I correct? and if I'm what part might that be, (part no etc.)? The symptoms: Jingling ...
