Anyways, a week ago I was backed into by an suv in a parking lot. Damaged the hood (that I had just replaced), bumper cover, grill and ...

Re: Third times the charm... right?

Thanks Matt!

Just another question... I've searched and searched (40+ pages) trying to find something about checking/replacing the fuel sender on a 98 V70 xc. The fuel gauge is stuck at zero, but the car is running just fine. Any help would be appreciated!

Re: Cam seal and sensor. replacement. *lots of pics*

I just finished replacing my rear cam seal. I accidentally followed the DIY for the non-turbo version! But it got me through it enough I was able to figure out the rest.
