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

I might do the capacitor replacement preemptively.

with how fragile my fuse/relay holder plastic is, it would also be great if someone knows the capacitors I'd need so I can minimize the risks.

another thing I noticed today is that my ECT has no harness. Does anyone know what the connection type is called? I have a new ECT but I'll need to replace the male(?) connector on the engine harness when I do that.

Here is my order from digikey, I tried to shop around to get a good deal and not have to pay for parts I'm not going to use. The first item is a diode for the ECU to disable the SAS warning light.

Does anyone happen to know what the thread size and pitch are for the SAS valve attachment point? There's a double ended male adapter that sits in the downpipe, it'd like to know so I can have some options on hand to plug the hole after I remove my SAS valve.

I’m trying not to think about picking up this beauty.

Well what a coincidence!!!

349 miles driven today and the average fuel consumption was 34.9mpg.

Does that mean if I drive 600 miles my average will be 60mpg?

Put a horrible 1.9 miles on the Kat driving to the train station. Should have walked.

Went to see Brooklyn Caitlin

Seeing Caitlin Clark struggle to adapt from college to the WNBA…..

20 points, 6 assists, 6 boards…and surgically precise passes into the paint, dropping threes from downtown

On the topic of mileage, what should I be expecting from an A/T T-5? Is the computer accurate? (Also what app is that?)

In rush hour traffic I get about 30-35L/100km (at an average speed of around 5-7km/h)
Regular city traffic (probably on par with rush hour everyhere else) I get about 20-25L/100km

When my brother took it out for 80km mixed it was about 11L/100km

Dear Diary! What a great day! I finally had a reason to drive through Germany with my R. What a scary blast it is to drive a p80 at over 140 miles per hour.
