TPMS on pre-TPMS Nebula wheel?

My 2009 S60 has TPMS. So I want to put 18" Nebula wheels from Volvo (made by BBS) but on these cars TPMS came about midway through the model cycle and it seems these wheels are pre-TPMS.

Re: 96 850 Stalling In Gear

My '96 850R is doing the same thing. Once the transmission warms up it's OK.

Think a transmission flush would help?

Re: H&R vs Elevate vs Eibach

You do know you have to cut the strut, right? I would do Koni FSD and HR or Elevate. Eibach was too low and stiff

Look inside the Turbo with a flash light. If need be take a piece of blue shop paper towel or rag and wrap it around a flexible pickup tool and insert it. If there is oil you need to pull the Air Intake Duct to the Turbo and check for oil there also otherwise take a look at the linked article ...

This morning on a cold start, no smoke from exhaust. F

Gorgeous car and welcome to the forum.
