Couldn't find the one I took off 6 months ago

Spent half an hour finding the one I took off the C70 two weeks before

The next day I find the original one hiding in the V70

The new air filter seems to have solved the P0131 issue and P0422 dtc's i was attributing to a bad o2 sensor. Will give it another 200 km and see if it comes back.

Usually this means the URO part has drained your coolant..

Completed the electrical ams coolant hookups on Grunhilde after the clutch job, forgot to connect gray harness bridge in front. Car cranked, wouldn’t start on ether. Plugged in connector and it fired up smooth.

Ordered the new Nissens radiator and crossing my fingers that the weather cooperates this weekend.

If you have not already done it, start soaking the 2 radiator mounting bolts (one either side). Thread is pointing upwards. This will hopefully prevent the bolts breaking the captured nuts off and spinning. Job then becomes a lot more 'fun'!

Good luck!

Ugh... yeah, had some of those come loose before. Fortunately not a common problem on our southern cars around here!

my partner picked up the new bumper brackets for the wagon. Need to find some replacement bolts for an oem trailer hitch i scavenged off a parts car i purchased. Hoping to get it all together soon so i can stick a bike rack on the car at times.

Haven't seen a hitch for a P80 in years for sale here or in the junkyard. Good find!

Last one i pulled had a seized receiver in it. I could not for the life of me get the old receiver out of it. The receiver was stronger than the hitch itself it seemed. Hoping to de rust the oem one i have, get the fasteners, and refit it as it looks a lot beefier and secures into more points.
