Used my P2 to drive up to Davidson County TN just south of Nashville. With 4 chainsaws and a few coolers in the back 4 of us helped do some tree cleanup the last 2 days. The southerners were biting their teeth while I safely drove over the icy roads. I am so fortunate that ice storm shifted north of...

Was observing #3 misfire for a few months, maybe a year. Engine was rebuilt 20k miles ago. Coil packs are new. Replaced the 60k miles old spark plugs, nothing changed. Old ones were as good as 60k miles plugs could be. Swapped #2 and #3 coils - nothing. Swapped the whole fuel rail with a spare one,...

For my nephew I just reconditioned a 2005 V70. It has 251k miles but that 2.4L with hydraulic lifters will last longer than a 2.5T engine. I dropped the sump, cleaned & repaired the clogged PCV, new water pump, TB, tensioner pulley, idler pulley, serpentine belt, spark plugs, rotors & pads.....

I got a used harness from Eries Volvo several years ago. It was in great shape compared to the one on my P2. www.erievovo.com After cleaning up the bare wires I used flux, solder and heat shrink crimps on the harness. I purchase 5 new Volvo IGN coils ands warrantied Volvo spark plugs from FCPEURO. M...

After installing a new Volvo fuel filter I gave her a good scrubbing with dish soap. Now got her back in the garage to buff on polish and wax. It's 68f here in Southern TN now.

With the sump dropped replace all the O-rings and gaskets with this kit

I rolled on Permatex Anerobic Sralant 8 years ago with no issues.

I replaced the IGN coil harness 3 years ago. The heat under that valve cover caused the pigtail connectors and wire loom to get fragile. I had all the pigtails zip tied to the IGN coils before I replaced the harness. Instead of risk it with a new aftermarket harness I got a used harness from ERIE Vo...

Did you have all the ground bolts mounted onto the IGN coils? Forgetting to mount those bolts is another mistake I made years back.

As mentioned your IGN coil connectors could be misconnected. With the coils facing in different directions some are close to the same length from the harness. I mixed up 2 coils when I first changed the spark plugs a decade ago. I now have colored tape on the pigtails so i don't ever do it again. :r...

I just ordered a Wahler Thermostat from FCPEURO. That thermostat, water pump, spark plugs, PS pump, alternator, IGN coiis, Haldex damper, Haldex oil pump, ETM, brake vacuum pump and lots of other parts are lifetime warrantied with them. The Duralast ceramic brake pads are lifetime warrantied at Auto...
