Hi guys! I didn't do anything today, but a week ago, I bought side car mirrors for my S80
I have long wanted to buy, but all the time spared money, because the car is quite old, but still decided. She has served me for so many years....

Newbie here.
Just bought a '04 V70. Drove it sixteen miles home(well to my friend's house in Denver where i'm staying).
Read here on volvoforums about several folks's troubles with instrument panels going dead.
My instrument panel works except for the little orange 'info' panel on left. It doesn't light. And the yellow exclamation mark/triangle is lit.
"Info" switch on turn signal stalk doesn't do anything that i can detect.
I'd like to know what it wants to tell me before i start back to Arkansas in a few days.
Search doesn't find for me anything about the info panel.
Have you guys a pointer for this first time Volvo owner?

Water pump
Alternator and power steering belts
Timing belt
Timing belt tensioner
Camshaft seal
Crankshaft seal
Auxiliary shaft seal
Crankshaft gasket
Valve cover gasket

Changed the oil and filter
Replaced the air filter
Cleaned the flame trap
And lastly...answered the question "do you work on cars?" with "only 30 year old Volvos with my name on the title" three different times.

On friday, I installed my custom poly endlinks and it was a great upgrade from the stock ones
.
Today:

Well I opened up my EZK box to see if it was chippable. Andas it turns out....it is not
. I will have to buy<!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->Telegram sports betting that is.
Atleast my ECU (fuel) is chippable.
Me and my dad were testing out the different durometers of the poly we made for his car. Fun stuff.

Amateur here. My 242 1984 was starting slow in the AM, oxassionally slipping gears, acceleration poor at times. Figured my transmission was going bad. Went to a local, highly rated tyranny mechanic, who chatted with me for ten minutes. Said it could be the tyranny, or engine, but there was 'no real problem' there. I could bring it in, and it would cost me $200 - $500. Didn't tell me WHAT he was going to do. Never touched or even looked at my car.
A bit angered, I realized I hadn't checked my transmission fluid IN YEARS. Checked it (in Park, running), and ATF barely touched the bottom dip stick. Went to Monument Auto today and bought ATM and a funnel. It took axQuart, and needed more. I added 1.5 Quarts, seems to already run better with pep.
QUESTION: The black dipstick end has a SHORT mid-max on one side; and a wider mid-max on the other - maybe separated by 1" to 1.5". WHICH SIDE DO I USE IN A MODERATD CLIMATE - 60 to 70 degrees???
