Re: Music ?

Ahh, The Beach Boys, can’t beat their harmonies. Eagles come close though.

Front axle/ transmission seal ?

I’m going to reboot my front axle, the outer boot is split and slinging grease. Should I replace the trans output seal while I have the axle out or take the “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” approach? Thanks in advance for opinions. Glenn

Re: When did you last have paid service for your Volvo

Ditto, Abscate. Admittedly half the work I’ve done to my V70, I would have not even attempted without the help and great expert advice from users on this forum. The only time I went to the dealer was to buy subframe bolts, crazy $10 a piece.

Re: should pump run during power steering fluid bleed?

If you run the engine during flush you’ll just be introducing air into the system. Engine off, front wheels up in the air, turn wheel lock to lock, checking level and adding fluid as you go (CHF11S or 202). They are interchangeable. Mine went from maple syrup color to bright green after about 1.5 qt...

Thanks, if anybody needs fabric I’ll send it to you (free). It came 3’x 5’ and only needed 1’.

Re: What did you do to your P2 Volvo today?

Recovered ‘06 V70’s A pillars with new fabric. Could not find light grey so I went with dark grey. Cost was about $22 for materials. Thanks to oragex for YouTube A pillar removal procedure.

Re: Rebuilding and painting my calipers

If your going to paint your calipers. POR-15 makes a complete kit for this available on Amazon. I have the kit but haven’t used it yet (saving for a winter project). It has some very good reviews and supposed can be used over rust.

Re: How do I re-glue the headliner in a wagon (back half fell down)

Yes, trim breaks very easily, especially sunroof. Backer board is very thin, I removed the passenger seat when I reinstalled, because I was working solo. Headliner fabric comes with a foam backer. When I purchased mine they had tan and grey available, I got the tan and almost perfect match. Take you...
