Re: 2004 XC70 ! Whats this hose and is it an easy fix? [ evap purge hose]
I replaced them all with the same size silicone hose. Doesn't seem to have made a difference from the original different sizes. 6mm ID or something though best just measure.

Re: Coronavirus Thread
It’s painful watching states reopen with case loads growing. Absolute;y Moronic
Completely baffling. I've been trying to figure out if there's some new infrastructure I'm not aware of or if I'm the only sane one. I also recognize that I've been getting more lax about social distancing - my ...

Re: Radiator protection?
I'm not sure about "lifting the front end" as Oragex mentioned. My dealer simply replaced the springs, struts, and related hardware which brought my cars front end back to it's original height. In fact after replacement my car drove better than it had in years. I tend to zip down the highway ...

Re: A/C on-off switch
It's the normal behaviour. It's used for reducing the air moisture level in certain conditions apart from actually just cooling when it's hot. It shouldn't run a lot though.
And yes it's supposed to reset whenever you start the car.
With the caveat that I haven't actually seen one of these without ...

Re: Slipping on ice
I always get a much shorter braking distance by pumping the brakes, like our fathers did. Much shorter than ABS can do (if it can).
I've tried that numerous times but the result is always that it's quite useless when it's actually really slippery. I've tried on several cars as well. A firm press ...

Re: Slipping on ice
How old are your tires? How many studs left?
This is my question as well.
Personally I find it very noticeable when the tyres loose grip and the cars tech tries to help out. So it's quite easy to tell the two apart. This goes both for braking and accelerating.
Regarding ABS it's not supposed ...

Re: V70 wheel and tire size
The 15" wheels feel much less stable in corners but if you ignore the feeling a bit the actual difference isn't huge as as long as you're driving like it's your own car.
