Hey I just thought I would give you some hints since I just went through this a couple weeks ago. It was very easy to fix. First move the seat all the way foward and tilted up all the way. Next, from the back seat get down in there under the seat and reach your hands up in the bottom seat cushion ...

i only tried to read codes from the A2 port.. I thought those were the only ones that triggered the Check engine light. After some more reading though I found out that the TCM could make the check engine light turn on as well so I will check those codes tonight. According the the volvo manual I just ...

Ok now that I got my car running again, there is another weird problem. Now the check engine light is on, it wasnt on before I replaced the starter. But see the problem is that when I check the engine codes on the diagnostics control I keep getting a 1-1-1 for everything passed. Everytime I start ...

I FOUND THE PROBLEM! It turns out that my fuel pump was not kicking on as I thought, so I checked the fuel pump fuse and it was fine. I then checked to make sure all of the connections were pushed in all the way on all of the relays and they were fine. Checked all of the connections on the motor and ...

I just got done replacing my starter with an aftermark NSA starter and put everything back together. When I try to start it now it just cranks over and over but doesnt start. It cranks over great but that is all it does, I don't hear a sputter or anything. It ran fine right before I replaced the ...

yea I too was worried about the waterpump leaking but so far so good, I don't see any coolant leaking from it. I used the new gasket and just put a small amount of waterpump sealant on two ends to keep it in place while putting it on.
My cam timing marks were not white... that wouldve helped alot ...

I just got done with a LONG day of working on the Volvo. I feel like I got into a fist fight with the thing. Anyway, I replaced the timing belt, TB tensioner, TB Idler, TB roller, and waterpump while I was down there and thought I would share some pics and info on it incase you were about to do it ...

hehehe.. actually those were taken on my camera phone (samsung A990). It is very sensitive to shaking so if your not very steady then it gets blurry.. especially if its dark. Usually it takes alot better pictures but I was in a hurry when I took those. I can get better pics real soon.

so far not too bad at all.. doesnt absorb the bumps as good as the previous 15's but its not much different. it hugs the road and corners a LOT better. I hope it does good in the snow... I'm sure I'll find out soon. Oh and the tires are 205/45ZR-17 Avon Tech M550 A/S

Just thought I would share some pictures of my new rims/tires. They are Sport Edition F6 17" rims on 205/45/R17 's. Got them off of Tirerack.com shipped to my door for 900 bucks.
