Re: Pro Parts Sweden - Trailing Arm Link Outer

I've got loads of pro parts sweden bits on my car including strut support mounts,expansion tank and brake equipment,and everything has held up great for at least 3 years. I think they'll be fine.

Re: 1998 xc70 turbo coolant hose

Thanks for your help. Not looking forward to next weekend doing it. But at least I don't have to take the whole turbo out.

1998 xc70 turbo coolant hose

So my lower turbo coolant hose has let go. I had my car on a lift today and it looks a nightmare to get to.
Does anybody have any hints for the easiest way to replace it? Or is it a turbo out job?

Re: 98 S70 T5. White vacuum tube

Sorry worded a bit wrong. It is of course separate to the heater hose. But the small metal pipe sits on top of it and runs behind the engine down to the fuel pressure regulator.

Re: 98 S70 T5. White vacuum tube

Goes to a small metal pipe next to turbo that is attached to a heater hose. It eventually goes to the fuel pressure regulator.

Re: Please explain the AWD P80 chassis cars (855/V70)

The xc70 p80's sit higher. Just longer springs i think. And also self levelling dampers on the back. Also real easy to install a dual exhaust. :D
