Car obviously looks great on both sets of wheels.

Personally prefer Satellites but in the proper Volvo T-5R Anthracite colour, bright silver is a bit much on a bright yellow car for me.
With them wheels in the grey colour it looks sort of original but with slightly different (and better) wheels

That's the most impressive list of fault codes if ever seen mate!

Started to fit the obd2 ports today
locate the 3 wires one for live one for earth and other k line to b36

port b36 marked

Now heres the problem the k like from the obd2 port actually splits into five lines but in the threads and write ups it just says to connect it to the b36 pin.

You could have 'ad me old one- and the airbox too. Yes it is a 3 inch MAF.

I am also slightly bothered that your new shiny MAF housing has the MAF sensor orientated perpendicular to the flow?

**t5 pete** · Monday 9th February 2015, 17:46

Never noticed that dave tbh ill have to have a look at an original one and see as it may cause problems.
If it does ill either have to get another one or add a bit on so it can be bolted other way round

**LeeT5** · Monday 9th February 2015, 18:26

I have a brand new MAF housing from an late R if you want it Pete?

Not sure on diameter....I'll measure it and come back.

looks to be the right way round to me

**MoleT-5R** · Monday 9th February 2015, 20:22

But Mr Wobbles one does look to be fitted 90 degrees out to standard, is me7 different ???

**MoleT-5R** · Monday 9th February 2015, 20:29

just braved the cold to check and they changed it at me7 and rotated the maf base 90 degrees, never noticed it before, well spotted Dave, but Pete should be ok with and 850 style maf

**AcidicDavey** · Monday 9th February 2015, 20:32

Depends which sensor is installed, Dave is obviously used to looking at ME7s of which their sensor is installed differently.
ME7 on the left (3 inch), ME4.4 on the right (2.75 inch).

Edit, too late as usual

harness plug is different too, can't believe I've not noticed before, only had the V70R awd 4 years..lol

**t5 pete** · Monday 9th February 2015, 21:03

Yep beat me to it the me7 mafs are rotated to the pre me7 ones.

**Wobbly Dave** · Monday 9th February 2015, 23:19

I wasn't trying to cause trouble honest. In actual fact I thought if you had my MAF/Airbox then it would save you the hassle as the hole/MAF housing is already 3" - but there again if the loom is different - it might not work - so it looks like you are fine with the shiny thing.

**t5 pete** · Monday 9th February 2015, 23:35

It is easier to use the me7 air box lid as it's 3" but I want to be awkward and have turbo wrote on mine got to add at least 10bhp
