Re: Timing belt alignment off after timing belt job

Just wanted to chalk another fix up for this problem to the crank pulley being loose. Belt was walking nearly all the way off the cam gears after only 10 seconds or so of idling. Tightened the crank pulley bolt and the problem is gone! Found this on an 08 C70T5, the problem originated from a snapped...

Re: 2008 C30 No crank No start- Dash lights shut off

I have 2 keys, both produce the same result- I turn the key to position 3 to begin starting and the headlights flash bright then go dull, and the dash goes dark. Removing anything related to the starter- relays, fuses, etc, just makes turning to position 3 do nothing at all. Behaves the same as in p...

2008 C30 No crank No start- Dash lights shut off

As title states- just bought a new to me C30. No crank no start. When I go to start, everything shuts off- all dash lights, headlights, everything. I have to turn the key back to position 0 to 'reset' everything, then I can try and start it again. All relevant fuses and relays have been checked and ...

Got it figured out, some files were getting missed during the SQL uninstall/ reinstall. Deleted those, installed SQL again, finished everything and now using VIDA on my sisters S40! Thanks.

(provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) Check services. Not getting everything you have. Wondering if something in the SQL install pack failed.

Driving home one day the A/C / climate control/ blower fan would not shut off. I was able to turn it u...

Re: Reproducing wagon spoiler brackets

I have a set that must be the one piece style. They hook to the hinge then bolt to the spoiler. Cool, would you be willing to part with them temporarily? Thanks, Jason Hi, I have a spoiler on my 98 V70 that should work. If you are still willing to look at reproducing them, I can take them off and g...

From what I understand it could be an alternative to VIDA. You can purchase extra services through it as wel...
