Informal get together at Abscate's house for Volvo talk, fun, repair

Tools available - pretty good set of usual stuff plus....

Jack
Jackstands
Rain cover
Turbo Boost adjustment gauge
Strut tools
AUTEL 8xx tool (ECM ABS SRS Resets)
VOM
Inspection camera
AC tools/manifold/freon

Three confirmed so far - all welcome.

You must be able to answer the challenging question - what 5 things does Matt covet on his Volvo??

No third rear seats need apply.

There will also be a Service Light Reset tool there, too!

Special treat: You will be looking at a collection of beautiful salt covered Volvo's.

Seriously though, I'm bummed I can't be there.

Smoke machine too - newly perfected on SWMBO Bimmer

I do have a collection of parts from a 1999 as well - see PARTS Forum for complete list.

Hmm, about three-four hours of daylight... wondering if there's enough time to

- replace my parking brake cables,
- recharge my A/C,
- troubleshoot the "pop-ping-pop" that precedes my somewhat consistent P0442,
- and of course, install some new control arms and sway end links to take care of my dreaded "KER-FLUNK!"

Parking brake cables could require language unbecoming a Volvian..

We have at least one turbo wastegate to adjust, fun fun fun

we used to poke fun at people with third seats ..we are older and wiser now, of course.

Marco - don't forget to pick up some R134A in case I can't find mine...two cans needed. Probably best to evacuate and load correctly to spec.

I have a can with dye in it, should I get some without?
