Harvey's Sonic V70R Resting

[LeeT5]

I suspect that the Ford fluid you list is an exact cross reference to Volvo's Pentosin or CHF11S. It's all the same stuff, just after 2005, when Ford sank their teeth in, Volvo were forced to look for an alternative fluid at Ford. I'm guessing the Ford stuff is also green?

I will have a look in my handbook and see what it lists.

Oh, and the fluid you removed was exactly the same rank colour mine was!

Not meaning to Hijack your thread Harvey (I'll keep it brief) I notice in your picture T5RatherAmusin...your missing the black three legged cover that sits on the right of the air filter housing! Is that deliberate, or did you not know it was missing?

PM me if you like.....just thought I'd mention it (sorry Harvey )

I just changed the power steering fluid, seeing what came out of Lee car I thought it would be a good time to do it.

Looking in the hand book it says you need this fluid wss-m2c204-a2 which seems to be a Ford / Volvo only fluid ,did Google it but it didn't cross to anything that I could find.
Looks like 2006 year cars changed fluid type ?.


So changed the first 1L bottle this is what came out.



It looks like it needed it will flush again in a couple of weeks.

Damn you and Lee, I'm going to have to do the Rs now, having seen the state of your's.

This is out of my handbook 2006 date on front cover.



I did call into a local factors and the guy said best get the right stuff after looking at a couple of bottles.

At long last I just fitted the noise filter to the RTi screen ,that I got from volvotech.

5 min job to fit it.

Just a shame the wires & filter are not covered with foam .



Diy foam job.





yes it does make a difference when the engine is running.

That's what you get if you drive round in a Ford I edited my post above

Greta to see the pictures of the RTi removed Harvey. I need to send my RTi away first, before I fit it.

Bit of a update with the fog lights.

When I fitted the n/s fog to get the beam lined up the lamp unit looked like this,not very happy with the look (gap).



I have a spare set of vented grills (removed from my old S60R) to which I am going to mod them with this bits sure you will get the idea.

Going to use these vents to fill in the gap around the lamp units.



There's a 2 mm gap for the fogs to fit in these.



Then plastic weld the to the grills after cutting off the lip.





sure you are getting the idea of what I am trying to achieve.

[Harvey]

This little lot was delivered by the postman ..



probably my best ebay buy ever.no I didn't pay £450 for them But £104 for the full set of rear end bush's.

[Harvey]

Well just got a bit more poly to fit. Nice colour as well .☺

[LeeT5]

Gotta link for those inserts Harvey? They look good quality.

Here you go. I did have a set of sponges inserts but I thought (could be wrong ) a number of people have said there is a bit more noise when they are fitted as they are made out of hard material, I am not keen on that. When these are now sold in the UK not just ipd and around £20 per set and softer material I will give them ago.

Now you bloody tell me!!

I might be wrong but I remember reading instructions in Vida for a filter.

[Harvey]

Just changed the fuel filter,easy job but looks MANN makes them for Volvo ?.



This is the one I just removed from the car.




both look the same and made in the same part of the world ?.

[Harvey]

Well just got a new gear knob for the car.

The old one.



The Nice new one.







Here's the part no just in case you want to know.


Here's how to change it not very hard to do no tools required.
