My Volvo S70 2.5-10V from 1999 was suddenly starting to use a lot of coolant and I've found out why. Water pump is driven by the cambelt so that's going to be an expensive repair...

Glove test after replacing PCV (crankcase ventilation). 1999 Volvo S70 2.5 10V #diy #volvo

Boven de 4000 toeren houdt deze Volvo S70 2.5 10V uit 1999 plotseling in. Het lijkt wel alsof er een soort van begrenzer op komt. En nu valt ons op dat er een klotsend geluid uit de brandstofpomp komt. Maar dat had daar niets mee te maken, het bleek dat de slang van de carterventilatie los was geschoten en dan krijg je kennelijk rare effecten met de motor. En het klotsend geluid is vanzelf over...

Checked with VIDA that the damper motor in my MY 1999 Volvo S70 is now working properly. It is now :) It was stuck on ventilation setting, so it didn't demist the windscreen. The unit threw error code CCM-322, Air distribution damper motor active too long and didn't respond to the switch setting. I bought a replacement motor from a scrapyard, Volvo part 9134729. Opened it up, cleaned the circul...

Elektromotor van het raammechanisme verwisseld, zal hij het weer doen?

At 182,000 km (113,000 miles) this car's dual mass flywheel has pretty much ran its course. Sound with window down. But is it the DMF really, or is the clutch bearing on its way out? Engine is Volvo B4204S4 a.k.a. Ford Duratec HE with MTX75 gearbox UPDATE: DMF, clutch bearing, pressure plate and clutch have been replaced at 185,000 km. Almost all friction material of the clutch was gone, DMF wa...

15 minutes. Could have been a minute or two faster if I wasn't fumbling with the light bulbs. You need: a small flat head screwdriver and a somewhat larger one a soldering iron and some solder

It's been 6 years that a towbar has been fitted to my Volvo 480, but I've never got round to fitting the light connector. Until today that is. Note the LEDs in the 480's rear lights, they work really well! The 480's towing capabilities are limited, only 1000 kg with max 50 kg nose weight, but that should be enough to carry a bike rack or tow a small trailer (our folding caravan weighs 650 kg).

First start after the winter, with almost a collision and Nissan Figaro as bonus.

Testing a Volvo 480 Turbo (1990) instrument cluster which was sent in for repair. When it came in, nothing worked. Almost all bulbs were blown and solder connections were broken (cold solder joints). Odometer cog wheel was so far gone, even the larger cog fell apart. New bulbs in, new cog wheel in, soldered the connectors on the main board again, and tested. Works brilliantly now.

This Jura ENA9 automatic coffee machine is 9 years old and still performs daily without any repairs so far (of course regular cleaning program is performed). Only the brewer comes stuck once in a while, when coffee residue builds up. The brewer unit can be taken out and rinsed under hot running water. You need the special Jura adapter to remove the screws from the case and Torx-15 to remove the...

I tried these as a replacement for the Hella H4 headlights in my Volvo 480. They were sold on eBay for 20 Euro each. I expected them to be of a cheaper construction but not this bad. The supplied bulbs are rubbish but I can live with that. What is more concerning is that the lens has no good pattern, there is almost no cutoff visible. It will dazzle oncoming traffic and probably won't pass a te...
