Re: XC90 T6 AWD

I am curious about your point on the Triple Edge Performance kit not helping longevity. It has parts that are supposedly more 'robust' than initial parts. Have you heard otherwise?

Re: Any tip PCV on a T6

Instead of the URO kit, can I used normal replacemENT tubing from the local auto parts store?

Any tip PCV on a T6

Changing T6 transmission while in car

I have a 2004 that lacks all gears but reverse and first, so I suspect the transmission needs to be rebuilt. Looking thru all the forums about removing the engine to get at the transmission, I came across this post - https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=63865#p329698 Wou...
