What did you do to your P2 Volvo today?

[abscate]

Today Ben was treated to an oil change! He's now circulating Motul 8100 Eco-lite. Nom nom.

I really enjoyed the ride height in that I didn't have to lift him at all to complete the job. I just shimmied on under and did my thing.

Woof, that was about 30 pounds ago for me. Maybe an XC is higher



I am 15 pounds down From my peak thanks to improved diet , another 30 would be good

Finished up installing the used, low-mile angle gear and new collar in the S60R . Rear driveshaft is left uninstalled for now, until I can find time to service the rear haldex. Then I'll finish putting it together.

While it was out of commission, in addition the angle gear-related seals and AG fluid I also replaced with new the serp belt tensioner (INA) and serp belt (Conti), did a full transmission fluid flush (Idemitsu TLS), full coolant flush (Volvo coolant), oil cooler seals (V Reinz), oil change (M1 0w-40; it was due).

What I wish I had bought and also done at the same time: both small coolant hoses on the oil cooler, dust cover on the hub bearing.

I’m still running those crappy hose clamps on the oil cooler hoses, those are going to bite me if I don’t get on that b

Today I replaced Ben's windshield end cowl trim and picked up his new shoes.

[abscate]

I would swear that’s Barents Blue but picture hues are tricky beasts

[Starbuck]

Who Ben? Were there two blues?

[abscate]

Yes for Ben

I think only Blue metallic In 2004, corrected

[Starbuck]

Whichever blue, he's a handsome boy but I'm biased.

This morning I had his shoes installed.

[abscate]

I’ve got three Blues, one red, one black, and one silver

[Starbuck]

A whole stable!
