Re: Another Free iPod setup

Awesome. I was thinking about doing this with my S60 but just never got around to it. I really do hate having that wire hang out all over the place... :(

Re: % of syn. in semisynthetic oil?

Is it recommended to wean a car off of dino and onto synthetic oil? I think I will be switching my car over and was just going to use synthetic for the next fill-up, but I have heard of this causing leaking problems because it cleans the gaskets so well... :roll: Is weaning it onto synthetic a good ...

Re: s60 2002 - using different size wheels

I though the stock wheels were 16 inch, and the optional wheels (std for T5) are 17 inch. Mine has 17s. Go to tirerack.com That's what I thought, too... Although, I think the 17" rims are still an option on the T5. The caution is for going outside Volvo wheel combinations of tires and rims. Yo...

Re: V70 Central Door Lock Issue

Thanks!

But, still kind of odd that they would do such a thing... :?

Re: V70 Central Door Lock Issue

Strange... My car ('02 S60) has only got one relay on each side on the bottom. Perhaps you should have had one on the left and one on the right instead of two on the left??? :?

Re: Tires for Smooth Ride - S60 2.4T

Continental currently has a "Buy 4 tires, get a $75 MIR" (in the form of a Visa gift card) promotion going on. I think Continental ExtremeContact tires are in my near future... :roll: :wink:

Re: 1995 850 seat back cable

Really not too bad. And I used zip-ties to reattach my seat covering as I didn't have hog-rings or the pliers needed to use them... Zip ties have worked fine, though :wink: And I didn't even bother buying a new cable. I just fixed my old one by removing a chunk of the cable sheathing (so that the en...

Re: 2002 S60 AWD Power Door Locks

Yes yes, good point. If one of the locks is sticking, you'd have a problem with it with the remote as well. (And maybe the key? Does the key unlock all of the doors? I haven't tried ever...)

Re: 2002 S60 AWD Power Door Locks

Check and make sure all of your doors are locked. My rear driver's side door doesn't always lock (actuator must be on its way out) and, if it doesn't, and I hit the button again, it just tries locking the doors again.

(Also, I know what you mean about the turning radius... :roll: )
