New images up.

I can claim no part of this project except converting and uploading a few pictures. Enjoy! [thumbup]

I realize I may have been a dumba$$ here. What is stated above is temporary while it is out being fixed. I can drive around with the above not working for a few days then plug it in and all will be...

Ordered and took delivery of new (remanufactured) 305mm brake brackets from Advance Auto Parts. They are boxed/rebranded as Cardone and have a limited lifetime warranty. I picked them up for...

Which is why I have been working with them to REPAIR my existing mirror glass only and not EXCHANGE for someone else's mirror that I will have to go to the dealership to program. FWIW Erie Vo-Vo...

Hate to dig this post up from the dead. But, my wife's 02 V70XC just decided to do this last night. I am trying to avoid the Dealer for any recoding. If I unplug the mirror to send back for repair...

Sweet deal! Time to boost the economy.

I already have to order pads and rotors. I can just as easily order bigger rotors and they are the same price. So, to move from 11.25"/286mm to 12"/305mm I only need to order (x2) a larger carrier...

I have this issue too. Here is how I troubleshoot it and in this order.

1.) WHACK IT!
2.) Clean contacts with pencil eraser & electronic contact cleaner.
3.) Gingerly bend contacts to ensure...

Welcome, Brother. I'm #224!

Wow, this post is a blast from the past! It is not only two plugs with wires in between. There is also an oval rubber grommet to prevent liquid road crap from getting in the battery/tire...

Hey Neighbor-

Sounds like what was happening to me before my fuel pump died. The stalling went on (randomly) for about three weeks until it died in an intersection.

This post shows what...

Long story short (search the forum) I bought my Volvo Certified Pre-Owned about 5-years ago. The selling dealership did a lot of "part swapping" before it was sold to me [sly] and my ownership...

I had this problem before and was able to resolve it. The problem was that I had another transponder key too close to my Volvo key. In my case, it was a VW key. When I moved it to the other side...

Or, wire one up yourself. Instructions here... http://www.volvoxc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11758

No, 7-pin version available. It would be cheaper and easier to adapt your trailer. Plus, you would be able to tow your trailer with any other American vehicle. There is a replacement 4-pin wiring...

Anyone ever used these? They are drilled and slotted rotors and are machined in Canada. Their parts catalog shows the following part numbers:

I rarely post to the forums, I just read. If I ever post anything, it is for satire. Just ask Allen about his snake oil. It is ironic that over the years I have read many of your...

I miss Oregon. But the idiots who fill your tank have two problems. 1.) They grab your fuel door and yank like mad and won't wait for you to unlock it. 2.) They insist on topping off your gas tank.

I remember saying "Volvo for Life" not "Till' Death Do Us Part." ...at least not to the car.

It is currently parked in front of the VW/Volvo dealership with a full tank of gas. If a customer...

Sorry for the dramatic delay. Ron Godoy (VW Service Manager) came back from lunch. I took him to the car to show him the puddle. When we got to the car and I popped the door, the wonderful aroma...
