Okay so to spare the details of my horrible weekend. Here is a summary and need some serious advice; 1) Changed lower control arms 2) Got an alignment and while there mechanic said he would do my axle (which needed to be done/replaced) at the same time for a great price 3) Go on road trip same day.....

I recently saw a video of a guy who on his 850 scraped it, then used some 3m Textured paint so it didn't ever sag again. Its a little interesting to think about but then again, textured paint may hurt a bit if you rub against it or are in an accident. Also I was thinking the sound deadening is proba...

Try cleaning the PCV..minimal cost in parts, just all labour

Curious...if I was to upgrade to a newer, lower mileage Volvo what what you suggest as a mod to this site?

So I did the glove test...I drove the car home and at a light was messing with my wife and punched it....saw some bluish (oil) smoke puff. I thought oh man, thats what it HAS to be burning oil. Burned my hand but put a glove and rubber band on and it was waiving at me. Now the question...do I really...

Thanks everyone. I did an oil change last night and found one thing....last oil change I was in a hurry so took it to a local "reputable" shop. They had the wrong oil filter on. It was MUCH smaller and I'm assuming is from the turbo. Therefore I would bet that was creating higher pressure ...

You are amazing.... Oil, it doesn't leak (that I can see) but burns through a quart or so every 1-2k miles, I would assume since I haven't had an odometer in years :). Wow I feel like an idiot about the heater core...I just pulled up up the floormat and the carpet is discolored and wet. Seems like i...

Okay so here is the deal and I need help ASAP :( 96 850GLT, unknown mileage, has been drinking oil since I got it. Also seems to drink coolant. I just keep adding both. However, lately I noticed a creamish sludge on the dipstick when the oil was low (yes I am a moron and didn't keep an eye on it). I...

Thanks for trying man, I appreciate it! Safety inspection is only when you buy the car not after unlike VA we get out of that one. Only emissions every 2 years until it hits 20yrs old. I MAY splice it but I'll see if I can get the line off and then take it by a shop to see what they can do for me, i...

Jacob, hopefully you can help me out with the car you are parting otherwise I may have to go to a local shop and see how much they are going to charge me to do it

Is it actually copper or stainless? Jacob, any idea what the line stuff you are talking about is called or where you can get it? I am partially thinking cut out the bad section (I can completely see it) and then put in a piece. However I'd rather not frankenstein anything if I don't have to. I just ...
