What's the procedure for bleeding the ABS pump on these cars? My '96 850 has somewhat weak brakes - it got better after I replaced the master cylinder, but still not quite 'right'. New calipers, new pads, new rotors, new brake hoses...the biggest change was after I did the master cylinder. I'm think...

Sheesh... I can't wait to see what my Gabriel Readymount spring seats look like... So are you thinking about spraying them down with silicone spray before you install them? The previous owner of my '96 850 used what I believe were Gabriel Readymount struts. I was actually considering dumping them a...

Pulled the spring seats today.. this is how it looks. There is like a 'ring' on the rubber near the sleeve on both sides, but it's not a crack (yet). About 7000 miles on them Sheesh...

Cool! Thanks for the info. There's a S80 in the junkyard near me, and I was thinking of trying to swap the steering wheel/airbag from it on to my V70.

Gotcha. My understanding is the one on top of the cluster (for lack of better words), is the antenna module. The one under the dash, roughly behind the headlight switch is the main alarm/lock module. I wonder if these need to be swapped out in pairs? Depending on how much my friend can get the two m...

Climate control changes In late 1998 the damper and temp control modules were replaced by a single motor (9134729)doing both functions on the driver side. This was used 1999-2000 then replaced on P2 Edited to 1999-00 Does anyone know if the ECC unit (the part in the dash w/ the knobs) from a '98 is...
