Pauls S40 T5 Sedan - Sydney

Nelpd96

Next random question where do I find the paint code for the car? It is the standard metallic silver but I just want to make sure that I am getting the right touch up paint.

Oem volvo or gates

I'm with these guys.
We wont offer Dayco at all.
We do either Continental or Genuine Volvo or the Gates Kevlar belts for higher performance applications.

Paint code is likely to be on a placard on the driver's side B Pillar. Otherwise under the bonnet - strut tower, rad support. Three digit code (e.g. mine is 476)

I should be around after 5pm this afternoon and around most of the weekend. I am still learning how to use the Vida but shouldn't have any trouble reading codes.

how is your progress of your s40?

Nelpd96

Was going to try and pull the replacement motor and 320mm brakes this weekend but I am doing it in the front yard so if it rains I am stuffed.

Nelpd96

So just about got the replacement engine out but I can't get to the bolts on the exhaust flange on the turbo due to the AWD extension on the box. Any ideas on how to get to them? Vida only has the diagram for the FWD which is easy. Might have to try and lower the K frame so get a better angle on the bolts from the top. Failing that I guess I will have to try and drop the K frame complete but I am not too keen on that.

Cheers
Paul

Dropping things down is the way I usually do to get at things that are blocked. On any vehicle.

Replacement engine is out.

oh mate thats a big job

Nelpd96

This is the second one. I have already taken one out of the other car. Just need to split the box drain the torque converter, fit the new timing belt and put it all back in with a fwd transmission.

V8HUNTER

respect I wish i could do that too just know basics and that is a major job lol

The trick is to just keep pulling stuff off till it falls out....
