I often get asked how do you tell the brake disk size on the P1 model without measuring them. As most people know the P1 model V70, S70 and C70 had two brake options from the factory, either 302mm...

ME7 was only introduced for the 1999 models. No 1998 model volvo had ME7, even if they were on the road and registered in 1998. (If you check the cars VIN number it will 100% be a 1999 model).

I've just got G-Max springs on mine and it still rides good, not too hard and it handles alot better with no rubbing.

I think redbrick had coilovers on his red 850 maybe he can help you out with advice

I have never been able to get any of my T5's to run more than 12psi with an MBC without hitting the overboost cutoff protection at SOME stage.

I currently have one fitted and yes, I can wind it...

No worries, will post up some pics of the fitting! ;)

if pfv are selling genuine parts then it will be cheaper from me as they sell genuine parts at full retail price. The grey caps have been replaced by the green caps, and the green caps are better. i...

Loving the mooses well done mate and great paintwork on your motor. Fantastic................:parhmph::B_thumb:
Will make me try harder with mine next time.....:doh:

It's sickening how shiny your paint is.......stop showing off!!!.lol.....

Mmmmmm. Special polish! The Moose is as ever, very a-moose-ing. They have a great website - but not sure K15 (or Erik as seems to be it's emergent name) will be getting them. Vicky (T5) might.

Aggred he may of made a brill job of the car.

I changed my 850 ATF last year, i dont think it had ever been done and my car had covered 100k. Flushed it out with cheap stuff and then filled it with the genuine Volvo stuff. It takes about 6...

I went and had my 4 wheels laser aligned today at Nigel Langs garage in Bolton, and can honestly say that Peter has done a fantastic job :B_thumb:

I can highly recommend anyone who can get to...

Might be top mount as said, I've had these go on my last cars - sounds terrible but was easy to fix (20 min job) and cheap.

it needs to go as close to the throttle body as possible mate

the pipe from the dv goes to the inlet manifold if you trace the pipe from the recirc it will lead you to the nipple where it wants to go

My heat pad etc was replaced years ago but not under warranty as TC suggested even though there was a recall.
I would test everything before you reconnect.
The wire had come off due to overheating...

its a quite common thing on 850's, either people sat in the back with the feet under there catch them, or loose stuff in the rear footwells roll around & pull them out

The recirculating valve iirc releases pressure from the turbo :confused:

I removed mine on my last car and blanked it off with a forge plate, very fiddly job :grumpy:

On the Turbo
