Wholesale Transmission in Lancaster (Buffalo) NY rebuilt mine 100,000 mi ago. Runs like a swiss watch with a fresh M1 flush and magnafine filter every 3 yrs.
by the Nissen from fcpeuro.com and you'll get a lifetime warranty that I guarantee you'll need because they all leak again.
Wholesale Transmission on Walden Ave in Lancaster [Buffalo] NY has rebuilt 850 and XC70 slushboxes for me and they've gone 100,000 trouble free miles w/ the obligatory oil changes and Magnafines...
moving to Rockville MD area [metro DC], need recommendations for an indy shop that I can trust with my fleet of 4 older bricks.
My 99 AWD has had an increasingly steady low freq resonance espec on highway or under hard accel. Thought maybe bevel or worse. While I was underneath this weekend doping rustproofing in advance of...
no it was the SRS light, so I guess I'll take a box of Tim Horton's over to my dealer and get a reset...
thanks for dialog
Sherm
thanks !
ABS and TRACS yes, but I have tried two pro-quality obd readers and neither will reset the SRS. proprietary it seems.
thanks sensei.
yeah, I've used the abs rebuilders on other bricks over the years, but it got weird today- the ABS and TRACS lights suddenly went off but SRS remains.
could've been just a dusty...
over the past few days the dash on my 99XC has begun to resemble an Xmas tree, first the SRS lit up during smooth travel on the Interstate, then commuting home today ABS and the TRACS light joined...
How about a survey or some dialog to see how many of us have opted out of the Trew v. Volvo Class Action Settlement. Since the generous 10Y/200K warranty expires on my car in a few weeks, I am...
I am experincing a resonance/buzzing somewhere at firewall area just behind the glovebox when I accelerate. car is 99 XC, 111K. the buzz/resonating starts around 1500 fades away after 2000. I...
I have always had great success with "Back-To-Black" by Mother's on any color trim bits.
before you panic, listen for that 5 second pump ramp up when you turn the key on before you crank. You can put a jumper on the relay contacts to be sure that it isn't a bad relay.
I wish I wish...
and splurge for a Magnafine filter [3/8] while you are at it. These trannies have no internal filtration, Volvo needed to save a dollar per car. Easy to splice into the upper cooling hose to...
I want to buy one because I have 2 other younger XCs also. I have had the boys at the store do code reads fro me, but lately I have issues in my driveway that I need diag'd.
please advise on what the consensus is for best code reader to buy for my '96 850/'99XC diag needs.
Does one brand work better w/ bricks' OBMs than others, given the VADIS proprietary issues....
can anyone direct me to a link with DIY instructions to do an R&R on the ETM on my 99? I need to do a "look-see" BEFORE the warranty goes off into the sunset soon.
thanks all
take a weekend, pull the dash, pull the old evap [don't worry about losing the old refrig, Al Gore and the environmentalists don't care about 134a yet]. screw in a new evap, and then drop it off at...
two suggestions-
go with Mobil1 ATF for the final few quarts and while you are at it, install a Magnafine filter inline. ipd sells the one you need. It fits in nicely right where the oil line goes...
fcpgroton.com has them for about $13 a pr. they are my main source for all Volvo parts. Nick is fantastic if you have emergencies too. I have seen them occasionally in the Bosch rack at my local...
