What ever you do, just be very careful working around leaking or spilled fuel. My brother just lit up his Porsche 944 doing some fuel pump related stuff last weekend.

+1 for silicone lube. Don't use petroleum jelly as it will deteriorate the seals.

Same thing happens to me. A quick spin of the brake light fuse usually clears it up.

This is the one I bought. Rockauto has it listed under a 1992 740 Turbo. https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=293654&cc=0&pt=2412&jsn=1

If they are "foggy", due to a moisture/condensation issue, then very likely the original glue has already let go and the lens will practically fall off when you pull the headlight unit out.

Had a similar experience when I installed my E-codes a few weeks ago. No issues on the passenger side, but the driver side was a bit of a bear. I ordered some proper Ecode signal lights from Sweden a while back. Had to switch a couple wires around on the signal light harness before everything...

IPD has them as well.

Went with the flat gasket and it seems to be working fine.

Hello all. Replaced my swiss cheese header downpipe today. Everything came apart fairly well, but putting everything back together was a challenge. Old bolts were very rusty and had a real lousy time trying to find bolts today, so ended up putting the old ones back in. As for the catalytic...

Had pretty much the same issue on the wife's Mazda 6 Wagon, though not sure if it will apply to your XC70. Turns out it was a flaky relay for the A/C compressor. Swapped it out with the identical horn relay and everything works fine.

Firmly in the RWC Delo 15W-40 camp. 3.5 bar at idle on a hot (33 celsius) day in traffic.

Ordered the Robert DIY seal installation tools when I did mine a few years ago. Am happy with my purchase. Used genuine volvo seals. No leaks yet. http://www.robertspinner.com/tools_services.htm

Thanks all for the great responses all. 1. I do have a spare cluster, but from a different year (speedo doesn't work). IIRC, the temp gauge wasn't working 2. I did the in tank pump about 4-ish years ago, maybe 5. Kept the orginial float ball. That being said, the original float ball is 32...

So, took the 240 (a 92, btw) to the gym today. Fuel gauge was sitting at about 1/3 tank. Shortly after leaving, it dropped down to the red "reserve" portion of the tank. Quick side trip to Chevron and it took 35 litres. After the fill up, the needle is probably about 7/8 of the way full...

For you O2 sensor code, check fuse 4 for corrosion. My 92 was throwing out the same code and a quick spin and clean of fuse 4 cleared it. For the stumbling, check to see that there aren't any pin holes in your intake hose.
