Maintenace and diagnosis is quite simple. Just change the pcv anytime there's a problem and it will magically go away. Ripped seats? change pcv. Suspension problems? just change the pcv. Rod knock? you guessed it, pcv.

Almost every engine repair tutorial in VIDA starts with removal of collant expansion tank.

Could we not replace all engine codes with "7734"?

Every DIY Volvo owner has at some point, during repair, had their head on the floorboard and feet over the back of the seat.

Store extra engine oil for your oil guzzler in the sump...of another Volvo.

Amazing how those nasty interior squeaks appear in the spring and disappear in the fall.

Yeah, didn't people drink coffee in '94. I need a passenger just to hold on to the cup in shallow glove box door holders.

I think you mean your built-in picnic table!

Mine seems to be the opposite. Much less squeaking during the warmer months. Thank goodness I finally yanked out my dash in the GLT and repaired it last fall!

Or P0455!

Ha, I just ordered the PCV parts for my R. I'll be taking care of that this weekend hopefully.

Great point! I've become rather attached to my P0455! (along with my flipping cup holder.)

The only way to troubleshoot your cruise control light on a P80 is ....have it work.

It does not come on with key in pos I or II. It’s the only dash light that does not self test.

Maybe you can turn the light on in VIDA for a 99?
