Re: 2001 Volvo S80 T6 Spongy Brakes

Thanks for the comments. I forgot to list the Front Hoses are new. I have a new (used) ABS Controller with the aluminum distribution block and plan to swap it out this weekend. Will the ABS controller work or must I use my original one? If so, should I send it out for repair? I do not have any light...

I have replaced the following: (1) Flushed and bled system with power bleeder - no change. (2) New front rotors, pads, hoses - no change. (3) New Master Cylinder and power bleed - no c...

Re: Tires rubbing wheel well cover

I had the same problem. My tires are Michelin Pilot Exalto.

We treid 1" spacers on the front wheels and the rubbing problem is gone.

Tested by turning the steering wheel lock to lock and no rubbing.

More agressive look too.

Re: Xemodex ETM and Idle Problem

Update: (1) No reply from Xemodex concerning email I sent. Not good. (2) No reply from 42+ reads. I understand. I didn't have an answer either, hence the post. (3) New code reader found P1238 - Turbo Control Valve. Replaced in 5 minutes once engine was cool. 1 electrical connector and three vacuum h...

Re: How to reset Alarm Service message?

Most liekly it is your Alarm Module Battery. The battery leaks and corrodes the circuit board. You need to replace the entire module. Look for a post describing how to do it. Pats.com is the place to buy the module if you do it yourself.
