What did you do to your Volvo today? Topic is solved

That would fit 1035178 it looks like? Early hydraulic tensioner. Also cam timing marks are notches angled in about 45 degrees vsstraight up on th later one.

Engine break is at 1266196

Added some photos.

I think the belt PN depends on the tensioner style. If you have a hydraulic tensioner, go ahead and order the older style kit.

It does. When I did my '98 C70 I counted the teeth to make sure they sent the right one. There is a difference in belt length due to the a difference in the position of the tensioners.

Wow. Thanks, all. Very helpful indeed.

Seems like a good idea to count the number of teeth on the TB.

Amazing to see that short-circuit caught in time, too.

Achieved an oil change. Oil filter was kaput. Yes, that's a hole right through the paper element. Had the same thing on the opposite side.

That’s a custom oil flow bypass feature. Improves HP by 4.86%

Between that, the AWD prop shaft being off and the exhaust open after the CAT, it's likely true. =)

so i replaced my rear deck speakers... my god were those old ones shot...after some searching found these on amazon... fit in the factory mounting brackets. https://www.amazon.com/Renegade-RX830-8 ... V5WLC?th=1 they sound pretty good too, tho anything is an upgrade over what was there

Nice! I recently upgraded my rear ones too, they were completely shot. I already had a pair of new 6×9s that was initially intended for another car. Had to cut out some material to make them fit though but it was totally worth it.

nice, yea had i not finally found these, my next option was to go with 6x9s and make them fit... they were a snug fit but mounted up perfectly, recently did my front speakers so audio sounds so much better... next project is to upgrade the head unit

So yesterday two buddies of mine and myself went on the adventure of changing the front struts and all of the strut seats, control arms left and right, antirollbar links on both sides, and the antirollbar bushings. The shocks are from Sachs, the springs are from Lesjöfors, the control arms and antirollbarlinks are from Lemförder. That was my attempt to be so muchOE(M) as possible, without the sacrifice of one of my kidneys

I didn't had my coffee yet when I started working so this kinda happended. Can you guess what I did wrong?

After five hours of work (I took it slow because it's been awhile since I worked on struts, pulling them apart, putting them back together, et cetera) I took Freya for a test drive and boy, what a difference! This coming Tuesday she's up for wheelallignment (front AND rear) and then she'll be ready for the upcoming roadtips
