In Topic: S70 Tracs?
Posted 21 Nov 2009
The rims could also be 16" Satellites. They came standard on 2000 Rs and have an R etched in them like Pegs do. My car has the 17" Satellites so if you look up a picture of my car you can see what they look like. -
In Topic: How Soon Till Bevel Gear Fail?
Posted 19 Nov 2009
Different things can leak on the angle gear.
There are a number of seals on it: The left side where the coupler mates to it, the right side where the driveshaft passes through (2 seals and an o-ring in there) and often it is the o-ring which is leaking. Unfortunately, in order to replace that, you need a Volvo special tool and it needs to be done right or else the gear will have a very short life afterwards. There are also a couple of seals on the back where the prop shaft mates up. It's about 65 dollars worth of seals (100 if you replace the little sleeve in the back), + 10 dollars to get the updated vent for the weep hole, and then the dealer usually charges 300-400 dollars for the work to replace the seals.
In addition, the casing itself often leaks. The fix for this is to crack it open, and use a Volvo sealant. The dealer usually charges 500 or 600 for this re-sealing although maybe one of the techs would be nice and would re-seal it for you after hours for very little if you pull the gear yourself and re-install it yourself.
Hope this helps.

In Topic: Looking At A 98 V70 Awd
Posted 16 Nov 2009
Just for the record, there was never an AWD with an NA engine. They all had B5254T LPT engines unless it was an R AWD.
If you take care of the AWD system and keep the tires rotated, it isn't so much of a problem. The main issue people run into is that they're always buying a used one and the previous owner took poor care of it because he/she didn't know and neither did their mechanics most likely. -
In Topic: Throttle Cable Ftl
Posted 14 Nov 2009
Joe, who hasn't posted on here in a while and converted his R into an M56 FWD car last year changed out his cable to the proper manual one and said it significantly improved throttle feel (pedal feel) and control. I trust his opinion on this so it is probably a worthwhile "upgrade" for manual swappers.
Certainly if you have a manual to start out with you might as well use the proper cable. -
