Hello, gang!

Noticed the other day that the faux-leather/vinyl on my manual shift-knob is de-laminating badly. I found that the part number is "Volvo 9445851." Here's a pic of mine, for clarification...

Well, apparently I spoke too soon. The P0442 popped up again today. So, could this be the j-hose? Where exactly is it located on the S60? Thanks!

Just did this, and it worked! Thanks!

Hello folks,

I recently took a trip to DC (about a 6 hr drive each way for me.) On the way down, some time after fueling, I noticed my CEL came on. The car began to run a little rough, but not so much that it inhibited the driving ability so much. I did notice that at cruise (~65 mph), I was doing ...

Okay, thanks for that idea! I will try this first. Actually, I think when I remove the panel again, I will take some macro pics and post them here. Perhaps you all would be able to tell if the contacts are in good shape that way?

People skilled in electronic board repair use a large magnifier or if a DIYer such as yourself you could use the Macro setting on most modern phones.

Soldering it properly is entirely another skill and best left to the experts

I think we lost TV repair shops about 30 years ago here. I have a ...

Remove it and send it to a tv repairman & ask him to touch up all the solder joints. Shouldn't cost more than $60 ...

Hello again, Volvo friends. My '01 S60's (Base model, 5 MT) DIM (Temp/Clock) has always been showing, well, dim. Also, the tach bulbs seem to have been out as well. When I bought the car back last June, I had noticed this. They told me that the console had been replaced (hence it showed a slightly ...

Hello gang,

So, the for last month, my S60 has sprung a "Low Coolant Level" light every week or so. I would check the reservoir, and it would be quite low. I've filled it back up each time. I noticed that the floor mat on the drivers side was becoming soaked with coolant, mostly by my right foot ...

Hey again, gang.

So, to clarify, I CAN hear the actuators working, and feel the different options of airflow working. However, the actuators seem to take a while to move (like 3-5 secs.) The air that blows out, on highest heat setting, is luke-warm at best. I have all the other vents closed, except ...
