Re: How are my cylinders looking?

According to AliExpress - not able to be shipped to USA for those wondering... Almost like they are tired of the tariff gotchas.

Re: What have you hauled in your Volvo?

Had an alternator go out, so I hooked a genset to the battery and charged it while driving to go repair. Not exactly hauling. I have however put both a washer and dryer (on their sides) in my V70 at different times to move.

Most expensive item to date - 10k$ braille display.

Guessing this was a 3rd party scan tool - not a real volvo scan tool?

If so, I've encountered this before with my Maxidas *Autel* scan tool before.

Re: 1998 s70 GLT Tosh p0116 radiator fan afterrun (thermostat ECT)

Back in my agriculture days, we would just drill a 1/8" hole at the 'top' of every thermostat in order to make it easier to bleed. A necessity on both the larger diesels and especially on the little suzuki gasser engines John Deere used to use.

Re: ECC removal - tricks?

Thanks, Abscate! I have tried removing the unit from underneath where the radio was but nothing seems to move. I'll keep trying. I have a unit from my '98 V70 M5 that I am (trying to remove and) thinking of swapping into the '98 V70T5. I'll keep you posted! Hope all is well by you! Best regards.......

Next time pamper yourself and order the "deer free" version =)

Re: 1998 Volvo V70XC replaced MAF (non-Bosch), drivability issues (stalling out)

What happens if you unplug the MAF entirely? Should still start but run really rough.
