Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to check and see if all the pictures I posted made it over from Kodak Gallery to Shutterfly. Once I find the new location and link for it, I'll repost.

According to Shutterfly, they began moving pictures from Kodak Gallery accounts on July 2nd. They stated that it may be a few weeks until everything is transferred as there are billions of photos involved. I checked my Shutterfly account and there's nothing there yet. As soon as I get notified that my pics have made the move, I'll post a link to this forum. Thanks for your patience.

Hello,


Please reupload your pictures - I need to replace the evaporator, but the pictures you posted are unavailable... :-( You can use for example imageshack.us

Thanks in advance


Bests,

Song, I'd be more than happy to host the photos here at MVS. I've found over the last 10 years that MVS has outlived many of the photo hosting sites that are used to display photos here.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

There is a step-by-step instruction in Volvo VIDA system, but only with sketches. For me it would be nice to have some more than that just to decide whether to decide to dismount half of the car to get to the evaporator :-)

OK everyone, sorry this took so long, but Shutterfly finally moved the pictures from the Kodak Gallery.
Here's a link to the new album.
Shutterfly died, link below is dead.

Hopefully this helps anyone else who decides to see how deep the Rabbit Holes goes down. :)

Photos finally moved over from previous service. The move messed the order up so I had to e-do a lot of them. Sorry for the delay.

The best way to handle pictures is to upload them directly to the site. The repair database has been decimated due to pictures that vanish from third party picture hosting services. Matt went out and bought a bunch of floppy disks a few years ago and we can store them permanently here. :D
