Time to yank the engine and trans from my 245... this should be easy considering the head is off already and it's mostly ripped apart!

Noticed that the font spacing for VOLVO on the 1999 V70 and 1999 S70 are slightly different

Now I can tell them apart since I’m black/blue Colourblind.

I gave my S70 a good wash and cleaned out the interior. The dude next to me in the wash box was spraying degreaser on the engine(bay) of his Toyota Yaris. I noticed the engine was hot because the degreaser evaporated immediatly. I asked him: 'Are you going to powerwash that engine?' He gave me no attention and powerwashed his whole engine without any holdback. It created a lot of steam and the most painfull thing? He was stuck there because the car wouldn't start after the clean...

It's out! Only took about an hour... these red block cars are too damn easy. Now that AW70 will find its way into the beige 940 since the AW71 has been dying since I bought the car. The new owner should be happy with it once it's done!

I buried the punk P0014 error code on my T5 finally. Had been giving me fits, and I stuck with it and it has been vanquished.
