Daily Driving

Hi everyone. Name is Don and a new owner of a Volvo!
Our family has an XC90 and since I needed another daily driver, I was able to snipe this one locally in Calgary, Alberta, Canada! AKA America's Hat. Had to get it towed home because registry was closed and I didn't have an extra plate. Some fun bits: 1991 Volvo 940 Turbo Wagon Blue 5 seats (6 and 7 are missing) BOV RWD Wagon Did I mention it was a wagon? Attachment 14928 Sr. Flipstah waiting in the back, looking at me as if I was a tool. Attachment 14929 Attachment 14930 Attachment 14931 Attachment 14932 Attachment 14933 Attachment 14934 Will I regret buying this land yacht? Maybe. Maybe not. Who knows? Time to do the basic maintenance and be ski-hill ready. Let the games begin! Some things to consider: - Finding 17s to fit in this beast (Definitely not 850 Turbo wheels) |

Maintenance day! Went to my local Auto Value to gather some items:
Oil + oil filter Headlight bulb Rear wiper Spark plugs Engine degreaser Attachment 14914 Following recommended weight as upkeep is what keeps the world go round! Switched the K&N for an OEM Volvo filter, because internet. Attachment 14915 Head gasket needs work and the last oil was very thin. No way this was a month old oil. Attachment 14916 Degreaser doing wonders. Attachment 14917 Fluid top up: Attachment 14918 Unplugged the battery and the engine light went away. Yay! Went for a test run and things went well! Attachment 14919 Interior work and cleaning, next! Did some interior work today. Sort of. Tried to sew a rip, but my needle broke. Attachment 14920 So I changed the stereo instead. Attachment 14921 So there's a leak in the car and while investigating, found a weird tube that didn't belong... Attachment 14922 You can see how it's an afterthought, touching hardlines Attachment 14923 Attachment 14924 Where did it lead?! Attachment 14925 Attachment 14926 Some fool rigged a POS catch can/blow-by. Attachment 14927 FML. Not really sure how to fix this... ATF and brake fluid flush will be next week! |
