What did you do to your Volvo today? Topic is solved

I thought 286k was 'low mileage' for a Taco? I didn't even know they made 4 cylinder Tacos any more or is it a gen 1 or 2?

I'm parting a white S70 currently, I can't remember if it has mats in it or not.

I need great condition interior carpeting in 3960 light beige for a 1998 V70. I certainly need all front mats, carpeting, and padding. I would like the trunk carpeting due to sun fade and might need the rear carpeting. Would be ideal if all this carpeting came from the same car to show uniform wear.

I'd love a set of rubber mats for the four seats and the trunk.

You can build that hole back with JB weld , non quickset. Plug it up, then after it is set , drill the hole back through using the other side to Line it up. I’ve got an off set of Pagid pads I can send you

Thank you! I went and got some JB Weld yesterday, but when I went to change the other side, the seals looked so bad that I went ahead and ordered replacement calipers.

I managed to get the brake line off, but the threads that hold it in place don’t easily screw back in. Will I need to replace that screw?

Yes, the fittings are likely ruined. See my growing draft thread about caliper failures for info about flaring new fittings.

Wow that's nasty looking! I wonder if Volvo/ATE used an inferior grade of iron when making these calipers. I've never seen calipers get so eaten up, and I live in the salt, too.

[brunocerous]

There must be something about the salt and the NYC-area potholes that make it particularly harsh. I’m glad I was able to get to the calipers before the completely disintegrated.

[abscate]

Use a Dremel to clean up the threads, and attach the line loosely before you bolt the caliper on. It’s much easier to thread when you can offer the caliper up to the thread at varying angles I’ve found.

bmdubya1198 has that silver S70 with what looks like charcoal mats, I've forgotten what your T5M has.

Can I get more info on that white S70?

There is only one oil stained carpet mat in bmdubya's white car and it is a rear mat in the front foot well. So unless the rest are in the trunk...........?
