Replaced the AC condenser on the S70 today. I went to charge the AC last week and realized that there was a puncture from the collision. Fortunately it was very easy to stop right out without touching the radiator or intercooler. Just used a ratcheting 10mm to take off the lower screws, then a swivel socket on the top left, and a flex head ratcheting wrench on the top right. It's a little tight to access those, but not impossible.
Also bled the brakes, first time using my Motive power bleeder. I love this thing! Makes it so easy, and because you're not using air, there are no bubbles in the line to cause you to wonder if it's from the bleeding device or from air in the fluid.

Took Dirks advice and ran the Bridgeport CT to Albany commute via route 7

About an extra 30 minutes but I was in the zoomy Man Beetle , 180 HP 5 speed and was totally worth it!

I am glad you enjoyed it. I've been living in southwest NE for over 20 years now, but only over the last few years I realized how beautiful this part of the country really is.

Us Sailors call that stuff 'spooge'.
Double-check inside the cap; sometimes a steady miss can cause spark tracing.

Today I replaced both rear Sachs shocks, rear ceramic brake pads. Also I swapped the insane aftermarket 17" with my set of s80 base wheels. Tomorrow it will be more complicated...with the front. I like that i have a rare higher trim base model.
