Re: B5244S 1999 V70 1999 V70 - Will ECUs stop a 'like for like' Engine & Auto Swap?

For pedants, if we're getting strict, my engine code is B5244SG. You can leave them together, but many would argue not replacing the 5 quid Rear engine seal when the engine is out, is a false economy. I'd not thought of that, and I should have done. It'd be pretty dim to miss a tuppenny seal while w...

Okay, I need help with this one , and I hail from the West Midlands! i did wonder about the Welsh flag, the Americans I meet like to claim they're Scottish? Christ knows why.... there's nothing more risible than Yanks in kilts. Flounce about in ermin, a crown, orb and sceptre; and have it done. Lov...

Re: B5244S 1999 V70 1999 V70 - Will ECUs stop a 'like for like' Engine & Auto Swap?

OK, will do. It's a 20-25min job to swap them round. I always kill a chicken over my socket-set. Can't hurt. Might help.

I'll throw the donor ETM on and see what happens.

Re: B5244S 1999 V70 1999 V70 - Will ECUs stop a 'like for like' Engine & Auto Swap?

Thanks, things may be different your side of the pond. Quite the opposite, which is odd. On these UK 1999 cars I can confirm for fact, with every certainty, the remote lock module is not coded to the car. I've previously swapped fobs via the under dash -mounted lock module swaps, this between these ...

Re: DIY: 1998 Volvo S70 GLT PCV Mod: no more smoking dipstick!

Good mod, but WOAHHHHH STEADY ON! For chissakes use 5/8 16mm fuel-hose, NOT heater hose. Else the oil and petrol can degrade the hose - it'll go like custard, and start dragging in the crud. My tip: On my 1999 NA car I removed the restrictive plastic elbow that Tees into the large air intake hose, a...

Re: Delay wiper upgrade for 850 / V70 models

OK, I know its thread resurrection, but such a worthwhile mod. I'd forgotten what a pain 2 wipes was in smearing the screen on the second swipe after seeing it cleared on the first. I used a VW 99 relay. A right 'cowson' to get to, I gotthe 203 out easily enough, but couldn't get the '99' b^&*(d...

Re: NIVOMAT Shock Absorber Replacement

I am regularly PMed on this Nivomat gaiter bellow, gator (sic) issue. Volvo do these No. 1018799 or 1387105 but Mercs and Rovers have Nivomat and all use the same gaiter. So some digging will reveal other sources. Did you want it to look pretty? Me, I just cobbled together what I could find. Motorcy...

How to identify Faulty Door Lock Micro-switches (I got this from another posting, it works) When locking the car with the fob the alarm wouldn't set.
