Re: Cold start - Auto choke?

Thanks Jimmy57.

Yes the battery is the original in the car.

I will get the battery checked.

New fuel door, sounds expesnive :)

I'm more worried the new door won't look the same tint of black as the rest of the car.

I'll take it to the dealer tomorrow and see what they say.

Thanks,

Re: Oil and Filter Change How-To (S80 1G and other P2 Cars)

The tool from the Amazon site states it only fits upto 2005 S80.

Can anyone confirm if 2006 2.5T AWD S80 uses the same filter type?
