It was the coil! Turns out it just takes a long time to throw a code for it but it finally just did and I confirmed by hand. Thanks for the help all. That o2 code will just remain a mystery

My S70 (130k miles) suddenly started running poorly today. The first thing I noticed was a rough idle with lots of vibration that hunts a bit but doesn't stall. At highway speed it mostly feels fine but is getting 25 mpg instead of the usual 29-30, and I can feel that it's lacking some power. Also i...

Finally got around to pulling the damper motor behind the glovebox to find that 1) the motor seems to be functioning normally (it moves in response to the passenger side temperature knob with good force) and 2) that the spindle it plugs into feels intact. I can twist the spindle a little with my fin...

Crows foot socket did the trick, thanks everyone!

For anyone in the future trying this, the combination that worked for me was: 18mm crows foot socket -> universal joint -> extension -> wrench.

Anyone ever tried tightening this fluid line's connector without taking the rack off? Not a lot of room to work with and wondering if anyone has tried it or has any tips. Mine worked it's way loose and was less than finger tight! I do have a small adjustable crescent that barely fits but there's no ...

No flashing lights. And that would be great thank you!
