One with and one without. Perfect

Abscate,
When does the Abscate DIY East Coast tour hit NJ? LOL
Caught the living legend Volvo rockstar Robert DIY tour a couple years ago. That was great.
. Tomorrow should be too.

I also have a 134a manifold set. I do not have a vac or a refrigerant scale. Have to check my charge in the future.
Was a blast today. Turns out the fuel filter wasn't as hard to do as expected on the 99 V70 X/C. Why the oil change place declined to do it I may never know. Think it took 10 minutes including a gentle splash of gas...

Wisdom requires knowledge as a prerequisite, but knowledge can be developed due to a lack of wisdom.
In order to learn how to fix something, you must first learn how to break it.

Fuel filter (I sure like the placement of the XC fuel filter over my 1999 FWD
Inspection of rear suspension for knock (found it, bad bushing)
Air Filter
Cabin filter
Made a list of junkyard parts
It was light duty but it was a pleasure to be out in shirtsleeves in March in the sun
We did identify a 1998 with mechanical TB tensioner - so not a pure "Bastard" feature.
