I just bought a new 2004 V70 2.5T.  I've only driven it around town so
far (no highway driving), and the computer is telling me that my
average gas mileage is only 11 mpg.  I expected substantially better
mileage from this car.  My dealer tells me that the mileage will

The "check engine" light just came on today during the drive home. I pulled
over, checked for any obvious loose wires, etc, but found nothing. I used
the diagnostic connector and found that it gave me a 2-3-1 code, which
supposedly means "fuel system compensating for rich or lean ...

Does anyone know of a local store that carries this? I need one to tighten
my Bilsten shocks.
I've check home depot and lowes, but no luck there.

Argh, I can't win with my car!
My right CV joint is leaking now. The boot is nice and greasy and
splattered the wheel with it's goop. I've been quoted $240 for parts and
labor per side, and he said the parts were $100. Does anyone know where I

 Does anyone know of a way to clean out an oxygen sensor? They are
rather expensive to replace.

I recently got a 2001 S80 (non turbo) in great shape for the price of a new
ford focus. Saw it on eBay and drove 400 miles to look at it. Call me nuts.
The factory warranty is almost done, and I am scared to death of a major
repair bill. Extended warranties run around 2k or so. Car ...

I completely rebuilt the engine at the beginning of this year ,

For courtesy who knows to me to explain like installing a gauge of the oil
in my  245? I possess the instrument and the probe but as they are the
connections?
thanks.

My 2001 V70 Turbo won't start if I park it on my sloping driveway when the
fuel is on 'reserve' (warning light on).
I always park nose-down.
Perhaps its completely normal - perhaps the fuel tank out-pipe is at the

I don't find much helpful info on my driver's side power seat at
Brickboard.com, so maybe somebody here can give me some advice.
The seat's electric control buttons were fully functional at all times from
the day I bought it new until a few weeks ago, when they became kind of

Does anyone know anything about the 244 Turbo sedan?  Is it a good purchase
to get me through my next three years of law school?  For what do I need to
look?  About what do I need to be concerned?  I am looking at this (see
subject) car and am wondering if it is worth $1,600.  Any ...

I can't seem to find any touch-up pens for my 1994 Volvo 850 at the local
auto supplier (Canadian Tire).
Is there a reference anywhere of what colours match up between Volvo and say
GM? Ford?

My project car is an '84 240Ti with a good 215K on it.
I replaced the M46 transmission/electric OD with another said to
be in great shape, as the sync rings in mine were kaput.
Now I am not a real happy camper.
