The s60 is unfortunately going to the scrapper, spent some time this morning pulling out the aftermarket headunit and speakers, removed the seats front and rear and thinking of other parts I might be able to remove that are worth some money. The car is being picked up Thursday as a rolling shell, engine and transmission are already out.

I really don't have any ideas on what it was but stopping after a year makes me think something rubbed itself away....rubbed to the point that it no longer was able to rub...but what it was i don't know.

1989 744, changed the spark plugs. Changed the oil and filter and cleaned the flame trap. Replaced vacuum lines from flame trap to manifold and from fpr to manifold.
Inspected the vacuum hose from the check valve to the front bumper...and while moving stuff around i put my hand on the maf...and it was HOT.
So I found that the flapper door in the air box was stuck in the direction of the pre heat hose. Removed the pre heat hose.

Adding freon
If you have to add Freon to the A/C system, ensure the drier filter has been changed in the last 5 yrs. and vacume the system to remove any impurities in the high and low pressure lines. Any existing Freon before this effort must be removed. Doing this every 5 yrs. will help keep the cool temp down to maximum cooling and preserve the components attached. JMHO. Certified Universal and auto A/C tech 22 yrs. I do this to my home A/C also. I have my own vac pump and recovery unit. I keep a simple temp probe in 1 air vent of all my vehicles so I can monitor the temp in any mode at a glance. Sometimes just a fresh shot of Freon 12 or 134a is required to max system performance. My certification is federal for life, so I don't have to do yearly renewal, but had to take a week long class on new 410 coolant for residential yrs. ago.
