Just wanted to share my diy on my PTC sensor! Looks like shit, but should be well sealed. Waiting for sealer to cure and I'll give an update. (Part of the attempts at fixing surging idle, did PCV aside from banjos that are on their way to find out that the PTC is really a POS)

Very, very ghetto!

But I gotta know to be able to assign a final "Across 110th St" Ghetto Points Score - is that grey object duct tape, or flashing tin?

It LOOKS like flashing tin, which seems massively over-engineered for "ghetto" ;)
1982 240DL: Drove it 32 years and 1.5 million miles (sold, even still had mint leather!)
2001 v70 2.4T: The most expensive $1500 car I ever bought ("Volvo Turbo" - what an oxymoron!) (sold)
2004 v70: Far less fatally-flawed v70 - It served well (sold)
2010 v50: Smaller, slightly sportier wagon. Its got a spoiler, so I upgraded with sway bars!
