Welcome to the world's #1 Volvo forum!

Believe it's 65Nm (48 ft-lb) plus 105 degrees, shown as Link arm front in subframe-front mounting (M12) in VIDA. I've done three sets of these beginning in 2016. When I did my first job there was only a Russian post available, had to translate. I like cn90's approach, the sleeve kit just gives me a ...

Per VIDA for the B6324 (6 cylinder) engine: "There are four catalytic converters, two for bank 1 and two for 2. Bank 1= cylinder 1, 2, and 3. Bank 2= cylinder 4, 5, and 6. The two [bank related] heated oxygen sensors are used to control the catalytic converter; one heated oxygen sensor in front of t...

Opinion only, I've removed 2 full sets of IPD end links from my vehicles and gone back to OE. They look great but do not perform as well over time as the Volvo part.

^ yes. As you'll soon see, it'll take quite a bit to compress down to where the seat has no tension. I went from a 5 cylinder to two V8s, have done more than a few 33 springs with these. You can use them no problem with just the washer they come with (lower part in photo), I chose to go the thrust b...

I've seen this version of compressor but never tried it. I took a pair of inexpensive compressors and added a couple washers plus a thrust bearing (top item in photo) then I lube the threads before use: IMG_2383.JPG ChitownV- I cannot recall, do you have nivomats on your vehicle? If yes, what code? ...

The 33 front spring is pretty stout and you'll need to compress it down pretty far to install the new seat fully. Use a good compressor and be careful. Seat will want to flex when it goes back on and the spring gets uncompressed, I tighten the cross nut up and release the compressor then get the str...

For the bellows clamp, pretty sure it's a 56mmx7mm. Guy named Howard who has a Volvo site was selling them for a few years but is no longer. You can see them here- https://www.mk1autohaus.com/56mm-Steple ... _6605.html

Torque for tie rod inner nut is noted as 80Nm in VIDA.

I'll be surprised if you can find a “quick strut” for the 33/AE combination, it’s not very common. R-Design suspension is a little more firm by intent. I have the same suspension code in a 2008 V8 Sport, the precursor to the R-Design. Springs are more heavy (33 vs 31), front/rear sway bars are sligh...

V8 serp belt tools kit is scheduled to go out in late March for a Swedespeed forum member, if someone wants to before or after feel free to let me know.

No harm/no foul if there's not any interest on this site, my intent was simply to share and I had though to expand the audience.

Thanks

ABL high beam is a mechanical shutter inside the DS1 light path (headlight assembly).

For vehicles equipped with ABL, the inboard bulbs (H10) are the daytime running lights (DRL).
