So I've had my 98 V70 AWD apart for the last couple weeks digging into a slew of repairs that I've put off for some time. The most pressing was the alternator, leaking cracked radiator, leaking oil cooler lines, and leaking firewall side heater hoses. I replace all parts and took my old alt to local...

Do you still have these spacers for sale?

A couple months ago, I posted that I had a coolant leak from what appeared to be coolant feed line to my turbo. Previous to that, my turbo was dumping oil and creating a film on rear windscreen. I have parked the car since then and decided to attack later as this is a secondary car in my fleet. Well...

I hoped it was an easy fix, added fuse...nothing. No fluid no wipe. So I removed the rear paneling, removed the wi...

I have owned this V70 for a number of months. I have been driving it more recently to work out some kinks etc. and to give my self some time while working out some other kinks in my B5 A4 2.8q steering rack woes. Last week I noted that the car had some steam coming from under the hood after a drive ...

I second the white lithium grease. Holds tight, lubricated well.

I just picked up a red 98' V70 AWD with 150k on the clock with fairly beat up tan leather. As a long time Audi guy (20+ years), I have spent many years admiring the boxy Volvo wagons, especially the P80's. I picked this up primarily for the AWD, decent gas mileage and the utility of the wagon. Comin...
