@GryficeDawa14 no need to buy the part from the internet. There are tons of these P1 platform that just sit at junkyards rotting away. These sear skins would otherwise be garbage
@@CarsandChrisok, i have a problematic upholster, this is Dala Lava grey/Quarts beige. I write today to service volvo, they don't have. All used cover in internet is destroy. I think, when i buy rear couch and i give draper to pierce. I wanted save my volvo in oryginal style.
@GryficeDawa14 if you speak a different language, youtube has an automatic translator in the comments. Feel free to comment in your native language and I can read the translation
@@CarsandChrisdzięki za odpowiedź. Moje pokrycie fotela jest problematyczne. Jest to skóra połączona z materiałem. Tak jak wyżej pisałem Dala Lava grey/Quarts beige. Spróbuję pojechać na złomowisko i poszukać czy tak rzadka tapicerka jest dostępna. Nie mam nadzieji że znajdę. Jeśli nie znajdę to będę musiał udać się do tapicera. Wtedy kupię używaną tylną kanapę. I z niej pozyskam materiał. Dzięki za odpowiedź i pomysł
You have articulated a philosophy that has been honed refined and lived according to by myself that was a few years in the making. And very good it is to.
Rockauto is great, for most parts you have an option to get, cheap, daily driver or performance. They have variations of parts so you need to determine which one fits. They have fast shipping. Needed a part this weekend and $49 part on RA was $99 at Orielly’s. Exact same part number.
The internet, where you will be burned alive for not making an absolutely flawless and perfect in every way video. Good on you for doing your own work and saving some cash.
@ralph6115 congrats on the purchase! If you need any advice on anything, please reach out! My IG handle is @carsandchris and you can just send me a message. Most of the stuff I've done on the car I was able to figure out via RU-vid videos. People like 1A auto, TRQ, etc, have tons of videos on repairs. I've bought parts from either RockAuto, FCP Euro, or IPDUSA.
You only do that when you're racing and to maximise grip on the turn. On an understeering car it's meant to add a bit of oversteer to help the car turn. You see this often with kart racers who don't have a lot of weight on the front, so less grip, the sawing motion helps add a slight amount of oversteer.
Issue is, he's doing this on a public road with a clear lack of an understanding of how vehicles work. He's endangering everyone else with his stupidity
@user-rs5sf8bg2c I didn't get a chance to explain that in the video but that was one of the things I tried. I found a camelbak and took the hose from that and duct taped it to my shop vac. Was unable to fish the piece out after about half an hour of trying.
Actually it doesn't matter if you bought this car for $100......By the time you fix it up you could be into it for $10,000 these cars cost so much to maintain.......😢😮😢
That is so very true. Even more so if you live in Canada where you can't find many auto wreckers with Volvo's in them, or parts stores that don't gouge you for new parts, so you have to import from the USA which almost doubles the cost after you factor in currency exchange, shipping costs, brokerage fees, and taxes.
@@CarsandChris Well I have a different volvo .....a 2010 S 80 turbo 6 cyl ....I have had it for 2 years and it cost so much to maintain ...I have spent $4000 so far and I'm not done ......the maintenance is ridiculous on this car
10/10 build in my opinion. I would do the exact same to my vehicle for the exact same reasons, EXCEPT I would do drivetrain RELIABILITY mods like a baffled oil pan and the like. You do not want starvation issues during corner acceleration.
I have like 3 sets of metric and standard sockets. This particular drain plug just happens to be a size larger than all 3 of my sets except for one of the standard socket sets. This was a one-off situation where instead of going to the parts store I just used what I had.
@CarsandChris refunded and ordered all of my parts through oreillys and Napa. The two parts that were the wrong part got returned first as I ordered everything a couple weeks ahead of starting. They sent back the wrong part again so I refunded it all after finding most of the parts were defective when I started working
They seriously need to upgrade there website, like it's inexcusable for a company in 2024 to have a website that looks like it came out in 2012, which if I'm not mistaken. Is when rock auto first rolled out that version of the website
@@Turbo2Pete Yeah, but it's an absolute eyesore plus some people actually don't think that dont it's a legitimate site because of its dated look, which is an actual concern, I genuinely know people who have never seen any rock auto, commercials or when they do see them and they click the link, they think they. Got the wrong website. Because well, it looks like it was made in two thousand twelve because it was
Yes they are! I love them. Great dual purpose tire. Great on track, great in the dry, great in the wet. Quieter than the Advan Sport V105s I had before. Highly recommend, especially for the price. 4 tires for me is under $1,000
I will tell you brother you are about to enter a lovely journey of Volvo modding there's a surprising amount of support. the best thing you can do though would be to put in a polyurethane engine mounts and subframe bushings wherever possible and take out any slack in the drive train.
The 6 speed manual was a rare option for most mid-2000s Volvos. Couple that with AWD and you have both fun and utility in the same package. And with how small it is, it's a very zippy car.
Ya I want to see the before pictures. If it was trashed or especially if it had mold or mildew in it then $200 wouldn't be close to enough. $600- $1000+ with mold. That is a big job and not just anyone can do it. Everything has to be pulled out of the car seats, carpet, padding, etc. You need the right PPE such as respirators, facemask, full PPE suit, etc. You have to use the right things to kill mold, like vinegar with a wet dwell time of at least an hour. Everything has to be bone dry before going back into the car. You thinking that a $200 DETAIL would get rid of MOLD is on you. Everyone knows that mold remediation is not cheap, and you didn't go that route. You went cheap.
Let me clarify a few things. 1. The car was not "left open to the elements and soaked with water for 14 years" moldy. It sat mostly unused for 4 years fully sealed and parked on the street. When air is not regularly circulated, mold tends to form in any scenario. That's what happened here. It wasn't awful nor was it really visible at all. Any normal person wouldn't have noticed. I'm not normal. I'm allergic and it makes my asthma flare up. 2. I clarified with the detail shop that I wanted to treat mold and they clarified they'd steam and treat it with vinegar. They quoted me the $200 fully knowing what was needed. That was their decision not mine. All I wanted was the basics to be completed and they weren't. I showed you what they missed. It was elementary.
Sorry bro !!! You had a bad experience and that sucks!!! I am a life long detailer and communication for a professional is everything !!! The way you describe your truck condition as a professional….i won’t even get out of bed for 200 so what do you expect for that price point !!! On something you probably have to use some hazmat suits
