Re: (ViriiGuy)
Today I drove it with the transmission in 2nd gear to keep the revs over 3k while I drove the back roads to my daughter's soccer game. Lots of fun.
Last week, I did the 90k service, 11k miles late. New plugs, filters, cap, rotors, etc.. Next week I'm using my friend's lift to install the Eurosport cat-back exhaust sitting in my garage. Hopefully, I'll find the time to install all the parts I've ordered from D.W. Volvo: New tailgate and windshield trim, new mudflaps, new lower grills for the R bumper, and a new factory foglight kit.
Edit: Damn, I forgot about the IPD sway bars that have been sitting in the box for 6 months!

Re:
Today:
- I decided not to install euro rails on the T5
- debating if I should try to start to replace the SAS and check valve this evening and end up with a mess for mother's day morning

- sway bars also sitting in a box, debating if the install should be attempted on a set of ramps.

I started to do the exhaust the same way, but the claustrophobia refreshed my memory about my buddy's hydraulic lift.

Folks still ask me all the time if the car is new and are in disbelief when I tell them it is a 99.

Replaced the SAS this evening. Not too difficult, just a PITA pulling everything out of the way

Now the check valve looks interesting, back over by the turbo - what size are the two bolts, 10mm? It looks like it might be a little tricky getting a socket in there.

Re: What did you do to your car today? (ViriiGuy)
1. Put the Yellow back in the showroom
2. Stopped by the body shop to check on the T5M (minor fender bender in shop parking lot by customer - as I watched!)
3. Dropped a K & N in the NA
4. Washed the 244 for its weekly 80 mile round trip cruise to visit & cook for Grandma (& pulled a few weeds for Mother's Day!)
...just another day in 'Volvoland'

Re: ([email protected])
From what I've read, they are 10mm. After reading these I decided my valve was working just fine. http://volvospeed.com/Repair/airpump1.php http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum...st=80

Re: ([email protected])
A bad check valve is what causes the SAP to go bad, this MUST be replaced
