I'd just drive it and let it relearn. Try to "feather" the gas pedal, if you think your on a section of road where a shift flare might happen. Hopefully it will get better. I read somewhere that the relearning can take some time.

I had it for about 50K miles. Years back, while looking for a replacement T5M, I found 2 others with cloth seats, similar options and both stick shift. Also years back, I drove down around Baltimore for used 17" Amalthea's. The guy I bought the wheels from went nutz over the odd options on my car, w...

I had a stick shift 2001 V70 t5 and It worked great. I changed the oil using Volvo gear lube, and also bleed the clutch fluid twice. With maintenance like that and being 60+, I was hoping to own it for many years. Someone ran a red light and totaled the car. BTW, my T5 wagon had cloth seats, fog lig...

Definitely not the head gasket, if it was the head gasket it would be leaking oil as well. Not necessarily. Head gasket failures can do many different things. Back in the day when I worked on cars, they had a small hand pump that you attached to the radiator cap and pumped up pressure. Maybe 1 to 10...

Lastly, by turning the crank counterclockwise 2 revolutions would any contact that's detrimental have happened? Yes, if the camshafts did not move...and the crankshaft rotated two revolutions.......valves are bent. Maybe only slightly, but damage is done. There's a guy on Youtube....Robert DIY, who ...

My 2001 V70 had a delayed oil light, but not as bad as yours. Mine sounded OK if I drove it everyday, but if it sat for 2-3 days without starting, the engine had a 2-3 second delayed oil light. The engine would rattle, as if I was starting it up with a dry oil filter. I never got a message warning l...

Don't be afraid to pop the hood every once in a while to check the fluid levels. I'd carry a container of water or coolant in the car until you feel the car is 100% fixed.

If it was my car, I would have gotten an oil analysis to see if lead levels were high....before I dropped the oil pan and re-o-ringed. You can still get an oil analysis to see if the lead levels are high. Blackstone Labs will comment if you tell them the miles on the oil in the engine. Its only arou...

Maybe it will start tomorrow.

Good Stuff!
