Zappo Posted June 4, 2023 Report Share Posted June 4, 2023 Still fixing stuff the shop screwed up. Today I fixed a broken wire to the idle air control valve. My idle has been 1100-1200 since they "fixed" the car. Idles correctly again. Might be time to sell the car though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtrooper1 Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 And Lame. After finally getting my xc90 in for the body repairs, a whole Buch of other damages were found (they only did a visual inspection originally as the hood was stuck) and its been declared a total loss.

Zappo Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 Replaced the passenger side axle. Boot was torn and I was getting a vibration above 60mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobT5M Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Drove it to work for a few weeks this month while my wife used mine since her's was in the shop for flood/hail damage for about 2 months. Killed my L5S1 injury but it was fun at least. Replaced a leaky coolant hose, need to swap clusters and a few other items, but that can be done when the new house is finished since it hasnt been the daily in years. This was fun too but not nearly as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappo Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 Fixed a suspension issue so everything is tight again. Still cleaning up shit the shop messed up on the car. Also swapped out my HD adjustable end links for the stock ones. The heim joints are old and squeaky, so stock will do until I can replace the joints.

ruecatinat Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 Changed the oil. C30 isn't getting much love after I picked up an '05 330i ZHP sedan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oooh, I'm jealous. I have an 01 330Ci and I love it. I wish it had the top end power of my V70R, but the handling and power band are worlds better.

Had an '18 Golf R a few years ago and it just didn't do much for me even at 290ish stock and AWD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had an '18 Golf R a few years ago and it just didn't do much for me even at 290ish stock and AWD. It definitely has. It's such a great car to drive. I'd love to get a little bit more power out of mine. It feels great for what it is, but I also find myself wanting more when I really get on it. I've never driven a Golf R, but a friend of mine has a '17 GTI that was a lot of fun. It felt similar to my V70R actually, dead on the low end, then all the power in the mid to high end. It felt really good in boost, but I want more torque down low. Just like my R! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well after 2 months of fighting with insurance, I saved it. and got it fixed and was just able to pick it up this week. It's not 100% perfect. but they shop did a great job and im so glad to have it back. As for what I did today to it, I replaced the 3rd brake light because it was cracked and weirdly glued(with gross drips of too much glue the had turned white im assuming from the sun. it looks much nicer now.

ruecatinat Posted August 12, 2023 Report Share Posted August 12, 2023 Cleared my service message with ViDA, did an oil change on another one of our C30s, moved a dresser with the XC70. Busy week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrnx Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 The C30 is scheduled for new brake pads and oil once we're done installing the fender flares, nerf bars, and winch on the pick up truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foggydogg Posted September 26, 2023 Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 Replacing radiator in new-to-me '99 V70NA; Amazon Warehouse score at $51, no engine oil cooler fittings so works out perfect. Rusty stuff made getting the old one out quite the adventure, fresh one goes in as soon as my various body parts cooperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
