So the car is currently at the shop right now...
They dont know whats wrong but have ideas.
Went in to get a wheel bearing replaced under their warranty.
Picked up the car, went to drive off, got onto the hwy and around 60 the wheel started shaking violently when under load. Let off and it was fine. applied the brakes and it shook a little until it was under 45 and then there was no shaking.
So far they have replaced or checked the following.
Driver and Passenger wheel bearing/hub replaced.
Driver axle replaced
Engine mounts look OK, not in best condition but not fucked.
They are currently ordering a control arm to see if that fixes the issue...
Car was fine except the wheel bearing making noise before this.
After the bearing was replaced the car is shaking.
Any info would be great.

Dipstick Tube Is Now An Oil Sprayer Wtf
04 May 2012 - 12:00 PM
Ok so this has happened from time to time since ive had the car and have been running the 18t with luckys tune.
It seems if the dipstick is even a little loose it turns into an oil sprayer and soaks my engine bay...
This happens usually when I run 18psi-20psi. Not sure if that is just normal or not.
I have heard and was told by a few people that that is normal when running higherboost and I am not the only one who complains about this.
How do I fix that.
What should I look for
Noticed a puddle of oil under my car today at work, went out to check, popped hood and it was dripping from everywhere.
So its safe to say I am no doubt low on oil now.
Thanks guys.
Fun Facts.
PCV was replaced less then 20k miles ago.
Cam seals were replaced less then 8k miles ago.
Oil was replaced less then 3k miles and I planned on getting it changed again this weekend along with changing the trans fluid.
I smoke on idle, so bad valve seals. which are getting replaced on the 26th.

When: Cinco de Mayo, May 5th 2012. Noon to 3PM
Where: Trimble Park, Mt. Dora.
5802 Trimble Park Rd., Mt. Dora. 32757.
The FL-VCOA (Florida Volvo Club of America) has extended to us an invite to their 2012 Spring Volvo Meet,
as you may recall from last year's meet this was a great time with great people.
And there is no reason it should not be again this year.
This year's event is a bit closer to the center of FL then last years, hosted at Trimble Park in beautiful Mt. Dora.
From Noon to 3PM on May 5th Pavilion #1 has been reserved for the epicenter of the meet.
As always there will be Plaque and Trophy prizes along with Raffle and Door prizes.
All Volvo's have been invited out to this event so make sure you invite your friends.
As always Additional Information can be found by visiting either

or

Those who rode out with us last year will remember that these guys are actually a decent group (I am sure they are saying the same about us now haha)
Like last year we will meet up at one spot and roll in together. (to be set later, stay tuned)
Hopping to pull everyone together once again from around the forums so make sure you help get the word out.
I know we were not really asked to bring stuff, but there will be grills and it would not hurt.
From the Orlando gtg just past I would say maybe 3-4 bags of chips, some drinks, and dogs + buns should be fine since alot of stuff came home with the last people to leave.
Post up with what you care to bring, and we will set up a meet spot nearby later in the month.
Meet-Up location is going to be a nearby publix.

Happy Easter

Happy easter every one.
We took some photos this morning at an old rail station.
Thinking of rear spacers before sowo.
So Matt, you can expect questions next weekend during the GTG.
Round 2 around 7pm.... Should have tried this earlier when we were taking the other photos.
