actually I misspoke. it does it when the car is moving -- I dont have to be acccelaerating.

Only when the car is moving and I'm accelerating, do I hear a rapid ticking sound and thought it may have been a leaf in the vent (that's kind of what it sounds like) but when I put my head close to it it seems it coming from behind the speedometer. Any ideas? -- thanks I've tried banging on the das...

Thanks Neil. I didn't realize there were sensors up front. Nope -- no software update I'm aware of. THANKS. I'll look for that engine temp sensor and just go ahead and replace it if it isn't a bear.

that was rather wordy, I just took it in and the fan is kicking on (when running) but I've never heard it come on parked for years. It did when I bought it.

I just got my car out of the shop (2nd time) and originally was having the upper radiator hose blow off. They replaced the radiator because there's a flange that had eroded. But I'm taking it back because I still don't hear the fan kicking on. They replaced the thermostat and ect sensor and I know t...

I ordered a 9125615, which looks like it may be it. It's an elbow. Yes, LH fender the round one I believe. -- thanks Neil.

I replaced this purge solenoid valve and want to replace the hose on the port that faces down. I can't find the volvo part number anywhere. It's a short 7-8" ? rubber hose with an elbow in it that connects to the harder line that goes down below the engine. -- thanks for any help https://www.ip...

I thought of getting a pressure test kit. Can you pressure test the cooling system at the expansion tank? I'm not familiar with other areas of access. -- thanks If I can do it there, maybe someone can recommend a specific test kit? Would this be ok? And what window should the pressure be in? https:/...

my bad on the threads. they say to put in the tester, start the engine and let it come up to temperature (10 minutes or so -- 206F I think it was) and it stayed blue the whole time. anyway -- 297 bucks (wtf?) to replace thermostat at Midas 1.8 hours labor which is nonsense. will try again to replace...

I used one of the RELD test kits and the fluid stayed as blue as BB King. N I C E. After the engine was about 208 or so I think, I revved it and coolant came through and even partially melted that test tube. So naturally the color changed, but up till I did that it was always a steady blue. Tried to...
