Now that I have my prop shaft out, I had Automotix send me another one, from a 2001 car, for $141 shipped. All things going well, the part will last for a few years at least. Going to clean the cups on both ends before installing the "new" propshaft. If I need to take it out again, it will...

Monro Muffler in Lenox MA welded the rusty bits (pictured above) back onto the other rusty bits (catalytic converter heat shield) for no charge, and there is no more rattling, or hanging from the flex pipe. He did it all right in place, by reaching up behind the cross member (that I reinstalled). Wo...

We now are being told that it is an ECU problem. The local mechanic Bob Denley told first there was no signal coming from the accelerator pedal position sensor, and the throttle body itself (white sticker) likely gone bad from jump starting the car. We replaced those parts, but still have all the co...

we did just put in a new top motor mount... will check grounding there.
Don't know if the thread above by user lancechapin got the problem solved....

helping my friend on this 2000 V70 XC awd car.
He has a brand new CVVT as well, but the one that went in seemed to be working by hooking up 12 v power.
