Re: 98 V70 T5M- rebuild

My mechanic finally finished.
I pick it up tomorrow new shocks, clutch, head gasket. However I also bought a 88 E28 recently. Not sure I’m going to keep the Volvo.

Re: 98 V70 T5M- rebuild

My local Volvo shop has had some mechanic issues and there’s only one guy working there now..... Anyway, the old engine was finally removed this week and he’ll be checking to see the condition of the clutch and redo the rear main seal. I hope next week the car is close to being done. I also picked u...

3 inch catback exhaust sound like from the inside?

Hi, I'm curious if someone could post what a 2.5 or 3 inch catback exhaust sounds like form the cab of a V70 or 850? I'm hoping it doesn't drone too much. Thanks

Re: 98 V70 T5M- rebuild

I have to say, Volvo clutches are one of the strongest Ive encountered on the market - Ive got 200k and 6 teens who learned to drive on it. Thanks! m...

Re: 98 V70 T5M- rebuild

Yep so it is in need of an engine. Seems like someone tried to start it with the belt off. I found a reasonable deal on an engine and a Volvo guy to put it in. I'm planning on doing the clutch (if needed) and rear main seal. That's going to be my project for the next few weeks. My Volvo guy is a ve...
