Still have this?

It is imperative that you only use OEM Volvo wipers on these cars. Other wipers will just fail on you, and then you will have to go out and buy Volvo wipers, anyway. It is false economy to use non-OEM Volvo wipers. Do it right the first time. I'm only kidding. It's amazing how much difference there ...

Or...What did you screw up on your Volvo recently? So, this week I solved the Evaporative Emissions code I've been half-heartedly messing around with for a year. Replaced hose from purge valve to canister in front fender a long time back with cheap vinyl hose I had on hand. Bad decision. Hose held u...

I want to say the parameters for a good hot run are 15 minutes above 4000 rpm to get all the valves spun into a new place, and I think that was Volv-gospel from jimmy. Okay. Fifteen minutes at 4000 rpm. Just remember: Albany is not the other side of the world from Philly, and I will hunt you down i...

I ordered an engine mount from FCP Euro in Groton, CT yesterday at about 11:00 am, and it turned up at my door about 27 hours later using the free shipping option for a $63 order. Granted I am probably less than 200 miles away, but that is pretty rapid.

Has had it for several changes. I think I will change it again with some lighter oil, especially with wi...

Just to wrap this up in case anyone is reading with a similar problem, there were two problems that gave me the Evap Emissions code: 1. In the '98 the canister is in the left front fender and there is a large diameter hose going from the canister to the purge valve (or pump) also located inside the ...

I am waey of snake oils as they can bite. The problem is they may fix one issue while causing another. Your car may have reached the stage of Needong the oil 'o' rings being replaced between the oil pan and the block if not already done in the past. These shrink with time reducing oil pressure to t...

Placed order for the Rein motor mount from FCP who usually deliver quickly in my area.
