Replace the cat?

You are right we had a feral cat hanging around that really helped the situation,
but he is gone.

Did the PCV service at 114387 miles indicated, about actual, with the big oil hose:
https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums ... =1&t=78701
Changed the oil to NAPA full synthetic 10W/30, on sale $2.99 qt which is Valvoline, sales runs
to the new year.
Added about 2 oz of AT-205 seal for the oil seals, also added about 2 oz at the last oil change
about 4K miles ago.

Drained and filled the coolant twice with distilled then added 3.5 qts of G-05. Could not
remember if I had 50/50 in there so just playing it safe.

Did a transmission drain and fill.

Volvo plugs at FCP at $32.19: Genuine Volvo 8642660
I seem to remember a Volvo dealer that does mail order at a very good price
but don't remember the details.
Anyone know of this or the best place for a good price on genuine Volvo?

http://volvopartslisle.com/part/OEM-Vol ... k-Plug-Kit , $26.53.

In almost every case, Lisle is the cheapest Volvo-branded source out there. But figure shipping costs, too.

I can no longer pick up at FCP so either way I pay shipping, that is a very
good price thanks!

Lisle shipping is $11.33 and Tasca $7.40 so Tasca wins.

Thanks again!

FCP has a free shipping option if you plan ahead. Plus I have to buy from them after they refunded my price for my part even after I wrote

"I broke my part on installing it because I am an idiot, there was nothing wrong with it."

FCP is very, very good and I have said so several times on here.
