I always keep am eye put at the junk yard for things on my wish list. Yesterday I got lucky and landed a Motronic 4.4 ECU off a 97 N/A 2.4L auto sedan to replace my 4.3 ECU. I eventually want to tune the car. While everything works flawlessly (even AC), I'm still annoyed by the codes thrown because ...

Thanks for your replies, all of you. I'm not going to do it,I guess. The car has 258,000 miles on it, looks,drives,feels new,I do all my own work, but this may be a bit too much. I've started iffy projects like this before, and I hate more than anything to find out in the middle of one of them that...

They are not afraid of the arrows, jose, they are worried about traces of man-juice if you know what I mean. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Along those lines, the shift points within each car are different depending on whether you push the sport/economy button. The sports mode will use the same shift points as econom...

Only if you know the history of what hasn't been done in your car I'll be willing to bet my entire yearly income that these arrows are on most volvo 850's independent of the number of owners. It's highly plausible that v70's have this. I also bet that the arrows on the speedometer correspond with g...

Trust Me, I agree. But then why is the max torque stamped on teachometer. And the gear shift points on the spedo?

It's useful info for hypermiling.

The best modification I've done to my 850 wagon GLT is the addition of a trip computer from another 850. I easily get 30 miles to the gallon, or 540 miles to the tank. I drive alot for work, I sell life insurance and I've racked 3k miles in my most productive week. Experimentally I've discovered tha...

INB4: "Get a Turbo, it's expensive to add one to a N/A. :evil: TL/DR: I'm making a list of upgrades before adding a turbo. Here is the deal Gals and Gents. I've sunk enough money into my 96 855 N/A to confidently say that the suspension, brakes, interior, drive train, fuel and AC system are new...

Come to Cleveland!

I have a minor issue...tracking down a A/C leak. I have lodging and gas $$$. The RNC is coming up, so there will be a lot of attractions here.

I've been in the market for a new car. I have a 21 yr old 850 that runs like a champ, and surprisingly still smokes the ricers. So for me the most attractive car is the C70 coupé. I just learned that the line stopped circa 2013. Volvo always loves to make an impression, and for no reason at all scra...

It is Volvo over-engineer genius that makes your life fun.
