Having been under the car, I can say for sure that it is not the oil return line. Both ends of it are dry. I guess I'll have to have somebody look at it. http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=854464&rss=1 Sat, 18 Sep 2004 21:57 GMT I just got back from a drive from NJ to WA and I have now noticed that there is oil on the turbo (coming from the left of the turbo). Also, I get the feeling that oil is being blown through the downtube to the intercooler, and I am getting a bit of oil collecting in the bottom of the air deflector tray. The car has about 103K miles. Questions: 1) What is the cause of this? Is this normal for a car of this age? 2) Should this be fixed immediately (will a few hundred miles be bad)? 3) How much should this cost? 4) Do you know of good Volvo shops in Seattle area? Thanks http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=853567&rss=1 Thu, 16 Sep 2004 21:07 GMT We had really hot weather here yesterday and I ran the AC all day. This morning the REC and AC lights started blinking on my ECC unit When I started the car. It did it twice (each time I started the car) and then not the third time. I know that the manual says that I should take it in for service, but I was wondering if there is anything I can check myself. Thanks http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=812203&rss=1 Thu, 10 Jun 2004 17:57 GMT Check out this truck my brother saw: http://www.geocities.com/erikcurtmiller/volvotruck1.jpg http://www.geocities.com/erikcurtmiller/volvotruck2.jpg They were taken hastily while he was driving. http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=695600&rss=1 Fri, 10 Oct 2003 13:55 GMT I am already planning on replacing the rear shocks. Last summer I had to replace the rear shock mounts because they were both completely shot and poking against the bottom of the wagon interior floor, so I know how to do everything on the rear. I think it was because I had it overloaded w/o the overload springs when I drove from Seattle to New Jersey. I am now looking at making the same trip next month and don't want the same problem. I purchased the IPD overload springs and Bilstein heavy duty shocks for the rear, and Bilstein heavy duty struts for the front as well. I'll do the rears myself, but I am not sure if I'll do the front or take it someplace. http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=686673&rss=1 Thu, 18 Sep 2003 21:20 GMT I am going to replace front and rear shock absorbers (with Bilstein heavy duty), but should I also replace the rear coil springs? Does anybody know if heavy duty coil springs are made for the car? (All I can find are springs for lower the car) Erik, NJ http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=686219&rss=1 Wed, 17 Sep 2003 20:50 GMT Use the text input below to search brickboard.com query http://www.brickboard.com/FIND/
