Welcome to the world's #1 Volvo forum!

Bump for a great info in this thread.

I'm looking at options for a JWS-330 equivalent for a 2003 V40. Mobil 3309 and Toyota Type Type T-IV seems to be reasonably price and regularly available. Anyone have experience with either or another recommendation.

I'll have to see if I still have the photos saved somewhere. Have you removed the ECU's and plastic box w/ lid? Follow that electrical harness from the front of the motor, all the way up to that box, and remove the bolt that fasten it to the chassis along the way. There will be some electrical tape ...

Ok, here it is. In the event someone needs this info in the future, I'll add it to the knowledge base. You can indeed separate the engine wire harness from the car. Step 1 - remove the metal ECU "board" from the plastic tray that it mounts it. It is held in by (8) plastic clips molded into the edge ...

Anyone else have any input?

I'll tear the base of the "ECU box" apar...

The coil (single, firewall mounted) on my Wife's old VW developed similar cracks. When it would rain, the car would misfire terribly until it warmed up and dried out. I repair it by mixing up some J-B weld and coating the case of the coil with it. Worked like a charm until we sold the car, easily an...

Hi All, Long time lurker. First time I couldn't find the answer to my question through a search. Let me first say thanks for YEARS of help and information. Hopefully I can begin returning the favor. I'm currently helping my neighbor swap out the engine in his '94 850 Turbo. Head gasket went on the o...
