2004 S60R – decided that when it rained heavily lately that the main brake lights just turn on and stay on as long as the car is OFF… Start the car, and the main brake lights go out, and stay out. CHMSL stays off and turns on and off with the brake pedal. It has…
Note, that Lasse did say he changed the oil “On Christmas Day”, so the oil is 4 months old, but certainly now maybe contaminated with ether and brake cleaner. So the good news is that all this hard starting was at least done with new oil. I would assume that Lasse also changed the Oil…
How to say this without sounding like a bitter old man… Not sure if possible. Bear with me… The OE 255/40R21 XL 102 tire is a performance tire size with limited selection, most of which are made from softer, fast wearing compounds (no tread warranty or 20-50K), at very high cost per tire (~$300-500 each)….

Soliciting assistance from the Swede-doctors for two problems plaguing my venerable S60 that have been extremely difficult to trace. 1) A front-end clunk worse under load (on/off throttle, sometimes when braking). Almost always occurs when RPM is lower (around or below 1K) and usually at lower speeds, ie in stop and go traffic & around…
New volvo owner here. 2017 XC90 T8 R-Design phev. Drove it for 3 weeks with no problem. Service engine light came on. MIL DTC was a P0171 lean code. But another code was showing as “stored” and “permanent.” It was P0C32. Took it to dealer, and they gave me an estimate for $4,500. This included…

The engine does appear to be previously fuel injected because you can see that plugs have been inserted into the head where the injectors were fitted. If the engine is a 1971 it will be a B20E with a 10.5:1 CR and definitely needs 92 octane fuel. However, I did not think that fuel injection…
