BIG Thumbs up on this one!!! TTT with this one!!!theWIFES_S70 wrote: 29 May 2017, 21:54 - Also, step by step procedure (P80) for bleeding air from an ABS pump (when replacing a master cylinder).
And P2 version.... this is vexing me greatly right now!! Not sure if I have air stuck somewhere or a bad seal in the Master!
I know how to activate stuff in VIDA, but not sure if I am doing it right!

Just off the top of my head, i would love to see a 1996 850 wagon complete roof transplant including all pillars. Just throwing that audacious suggestion out there.
Also a complete dashboard replacement guide with detailed videos with instructions, on an 850 of course. Not just the dash pad, the whole enchilada.

Have they produced any so far? If so, unable to find any on their web site.matthew1 wrote: 25 May 2017, 09:57 ..They're going to throw some time and resources at creating DIYs -- and they've got a great "pole position" at this because 1) OEM parts, 2) a facility, 3) Volvo mothership knowledge and experience to back them.
I have a few ideas:
1. How to safely drop the rear of the front sub-frame to replace the steering rack and for additional room for the back hydraulic motor mount. (Must be done on a turbo car too. N/A is too easy)
2. Drop the gas tank, looking for issues with P0455.
3. Remove the dash to replace the evaporator.
