So I apologize for not searching through 187 pages, but I’m on the fence about doing the airbag recall on my P2R. I don’t want to lose the R airbag cover to a basic bitch one. What’s the process for removing/swapping them over? Is it feasible?

Turbo Fondant posted:I am personally not a big fan of loving with SRS stuff because of the safety/liability angle. Particularly when the difference is little more than an extra little badge at the bottom (and maybe some stitching?). It is just a little rubber flap but they have almost certainly changed the design of the bag (or one would hope, if it's a recall) and the design of the cover may interact differently with the internals of it. Do the recall and don't look back. It might just be a small thing to you but I’m not a fan of having a mismatched interior on a non-beater car. It’s the badge, stitching and color of the plastic on the cover. They only replace them with one color, which doesn’t match the rest of the interior. It would bother me every time I got in the car and I’d probably sell it even sooner than I normally would. I’d rather keep the current R wheel than mess with it also, but I was just looking for an alternative solution. To be honest I’m probably not going to do the recall. I’ll leave it for the next owner to decide, when I sell it way down the line. I drive it occasionally at best at this point.

How feasible is it for the oil cap seal to cause a pretty bad oil leak on a P80 V70? My kid’s car has developed a mystery leak and I know the cap seals are crap. He noticed it last night and it’s down about 1.5-2 quarts. These two spots are after parking overnight a couple of days in a row. He didn’t realize it was leaking right away.  This is under the coil cover. There’s oil pooled around every coil. The cap moves pretty freely.  Even a little oil inside the timing cover. It’s running down the passenger side of the motor and onto the control arm, CV axle and slinging onto the wheel.

Small occasional clunk from the LF when braking abruptly, I’ll have it looked at during inspection next month. It was mostly the parking deck location / suspension connection Imperador do Brasil fucked around with this message at 17:46 on May 29, 2023 |

 309k miles and it’s PCV time. My son did it all himself (with Linda supervising) and he noted that for some reason, none of the guides for the P80 were correct for his particular car. Despite that, he got it done relatively easily, didn’t even have to lift the car to get to the lower manifold bolts. He has a ‘99 FWD 5-speed non-turbo which is apparently highly uncommon. First year of a lot of things on that model, and most were either AWD, auto, or both. The nice thing is he doesn’t have the two most common failure points on them, the AWD coupling and the auto trans.

The boy’s V70 is still losing oil after PCV refresh so cam seals are the next order of business. Since it’s a ‘99, we shouldn’t even need the rear cam lock tool. No VVT also so it’s just take off timing covers, lock crank with a breaker bar & 30mm socket, mark all the reference points, three bolts on each cam sprocket once the tension is off the belt, and remove/replace the press-in seals.

So the verdict on my kid’s P80 V70 was 100% the cam seals. The shop did them and now the car is leak-free. This year we’ve done the following maintenance - PCV Timing Belt Cam seals Tires Tie rod ends Control arms Alignment He had traded a pretty crappy 97 Grand Cherokee for the wagon, and between him and I we are $2,000 into it which I think isn’t bad at all for a big manual tank that he can drive in lovely weather and not worry about. It sucks when it’s almost all PO-deferred maintenance, but the car itself was essentially free and had new brakes, Bilstein suspension, and an exhaust already installed.

Any of you fools wanna buy an S60R? My kid would probably kill me if I sold it but I really don’t drive it much anymore.
