LeeT5's V70R Project

That's interesting. The bonnet lining on mine rubs on the OTE pipe near the front.

Where did you get it?

Main Dealer. Par# 8641171 Sound absorber £155.23 inc vat.

Looks like they have done a update again.

I have just emailed VT about this to ask them what the update includes on my model year.
I'll report back as soon as I know.

[LeeT5]

I'm going to invest in a pair of these....

Bounced a few emails to VT regards the CFE update.

On their website, V9.20 is a typo and they are fixing it.
Also, V9.47 is NOT correct. The latest version (supported) is v9.54. The BETA version (unsupported) is v9.57.

Wanted to get rid of the horrible yellow upper engine mount bush, so I purchased a second hand early mounting plus a nice shiny dark blue Super Pro round poly engine mount bush.





Then I cut out the OE bush from the alloy mount and fitted the SuperPro bush....





Here we go, fitted....

Defiantly looks better than the bright yellow

Did you notice any difference? I should be installing mine next week.

Slightly more grunt from the engine with no extra engine vibration.
A top quality mod and highly recommended.
There is less movement in this bush than the yellow power flex bush.

I have been out of the Volvo forum scene for a while due to work and family commitments and haven't had time to do much to my own R. (Now sitting at 76k miles and still going strong!!)

Can I just say though that having scan read through your's, Harvey's and a few other threads I am rejuvinated and my efforts refreshed for some sizable modifications are on the horizon I think.

It's great to see so much enthusiasm for these V70 R's and convices me that I've made the right move.

WELCOME BACK!!!!!!!

It's good news to hear my friend.
I'm sure Harvey, myself and others will do all we can to help. I take it, looking at your 'sig picture', you have a black V70R?
If you do then that can be only good news as I learn't yesterday, that there may be one less black P2 R in the country. My good Friend Bill's oil pump seized up yesterday and it has destroyed his engine. I'm waiting for him to get back to me to find out the extent of the damage but it looks like the car may either have to have a complete new engine OR be scrapped.

[abdul]

What happened to your friends car lee

[abdul]

Is he getting a engine or scraping it
