Definitely replace all the lower o-rings while you're in there, they're cheap and it's not worth going back in just to do the others a few months later.

170mA is too high for normal quiescent draw, with the UEM being the culprit the dimming mirror fluid leak theory sounds about right — those auto-dimming mirrors are a known weak spot on this generation.

Interesting find, never thought about how much the wider tyres on the V70 would reduce the lock compared to the XC70, makes sense when you see it laid out like that.

Those Volvo specific codes basically point to a lean condition on bank 1, most likely a vacuum leak somewhere after the MAF — spray some carb cleaner around the intake hoses while it's idling and listen for any change in revs.

A whine in 1st and 2nd that doesn't get louder is pretty common on these older ATs, worth doing another drain and fill with proper ATF and see if it changes before worrying too much.

If the pressure drops straight back to zero the refrigerant is leaking out pretty fast, probably worth having a dye injection and UV light check to pinpoint exactly where before spending money on parts.

Harmonic balancers on these can get really stuck with rust, a long bolt threaded into one of the bolt holes with a washer behind it as a makeshift puller can work if you can't get a proper one in there.

Dude, you know who is good at the code diagnostics? AI! I had a p0171 code lean fuel mixture code on my wife's Forester. I bought a cheap scanner off Amazon, asked ai what to look at after explaining my problems and observations. It told me what to screenshot, then I uploaded it back to AI and it ...

I had a stalling problem with a hot engine on my older MK3 Golf. The thing is, the valves on my 3rd cylinder appear to be slightly bent. How is that even possible? The timing belt broke at some point and the engine was rebuilt, lots of things were replaced, but I didn't notice any visual damage to ...

Hi, just a quick update. Wanted to share with you folks something I've discovered on this matter. I checked forums and blogs yesterday, and it appears that there is no way to fix the hydraulic stuff that holds the hood. Moreover, it is even dangerous to do so. Next, for the S60, both driver's and ...
