@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 RUclips videos. People like 1A auto, TRQ, etc, have tons of videos on repairs. I've bought parts from either RockAuto, FCP Euro, or IPDUSA.

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

@@CarsandChris yeah! And on double yellow too. Also it doesn't help much on road tires so he's just getting patches on his tread lol

@@CallMeBigPapa828 dude's plate number is 4DKH 73 from Massachusetts. Feel free to report him hahaha

You're not wrong 😂

Why is what where?

@@iorn9814 the whole car? 😂

@@CarsandChristhat’s how much they gonna start

@@iorn9814 what are you even saying? 😂

@@CarsandChris not a true car head if you don’t understand

@iorn9814 just because you can't formulate a complete thought doesn't mean I'm not a car enthusiast 😂 tf is that logic?

@@Father_Nature00 yeah she blew. Had to bypass for a bit

@@CarsandChrison the driver side ? never seen one that wasn’t in the passenger footwell

@@wyattulmer2569 it was in both footwells

@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.

@@CarsandChris ok, I hope it works out fine for your engine anyway🙏

@@user-rs5sf8bg2c thank you! I hope so too

@@matthewsanders6499 what are the odds? Lol

@@matthewsanders6499 there isn't, which is why I used Motul fluid

Not really. I'm not paying a dealership to do the work. Parts are pretty cheap and available. Been great so far

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.

@@wilschnella1202 I find Volvos at junkyards all the time here in Southern California. And parts stores are easy and cheap to buy replacements from

@@CarsandChris You are fortunate to live in a rust-free Volvo paradise! Where I am in the Great White North, Volvo's aren't quite as plentiful here.

@@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

Actually the S550 comes with a baffled oil pan from the factory! So no issues there

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.

Thank you! I don't want to lower the suspension because I intend to sell it as stock

Clenched up?

It's not an automatic.

There is nothing to reset if it's a manual..

Exactly why I made this video. Too many people got into the habit of ordering stuff from Amazon and they keep getting screwed

@@CarsandChris this world needs more people like you

This sounds like user error to me

@@CarsandChris Explain to me how parts that are damaged out of the box comes down to user error

@@JonLasaga what did you do to resolve the situation? Did you report it? Did you get a refund?

@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

Local parts stores always overprice parts. Plan ahead and save

@CarsandChris yea but when I need the part ASAP that's the best action to take. Rockauto has ridiculous overnight shipping prices.

@KilahertzOfficial if you need parts immediately you should be going to a local parts store.

@@CarsandChris noooo you don't say..... lol

@@KilahertzOfficial then why didn't you do that?

Report the part as the wrong one and they'll refund you!

Nothing wrong with the site, it's clear, functional, and easy to navigate.... no reason to waste time and money to put lipstick on it.

@@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

Oh no, I didn't spend a small fortune on a tool setup. What a tragedy 😢

My bad bro jeez

Sorry!

My bad

Why?

​@@CarsandChristo stance it out.

@wheniztheend it's a daily driver. I'd rather have the ground clearance. I already have a track stance sports car.

​@@CarsandChrisbecause he saw it on a video 😂

@@wheniztheendnot everything needs to be stanced 🤯

Replaces the worn out old shock for super cheap. Ride quality improved significantly.

@@CarsandChris If you know they're shocks, why did you call them struts in the beginning of the video?

@@ukerdrw4933 an accident?

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.

I think you did too! Haha nice to meet you and happy you found my videos!

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.

It definitely wasn't hazmat situation. It wasn't full of trash nor was it filthy. It just needed to be steamed

Rude

@@CarsandChris thanks for such kind words!

@@CarsandChris it was meant as a joke! but some people these days!!!!

That's why they require it at refineries

The man had mold inside his vehicle didn't you listen to him he can't clean it himself 🤦‍♂️

You can’t detail a car professionally for $200 by yourself.😂. Quality extractor = $800. Quality steamer = $250. Air compressor = $300. Chemical = $20. That’s not counting brushes, vacuum, air guns, drill, drill brushes, or experience. I charge $165 for an interior cleaning plus $10 per seat that is extracted. Plus I charge an extra $50 for mold. My total for that truck would have been $265 for the interior. However what he received is a completely shitty job. Not worth $100. Also should never promise to get every spot because sometimes you just can’t get something. I tell all of my customers I will remove 90-95% of everything in the vehicle but this detail was not worth the money he paid.

he just wants to whine

​@@Mark_Shreds_Fatyeah, but you don't need a "professional" extractor to do a good job. People can get away with a +2HP 13-15amp shopvac with an extractor attachment and a drill/bottle of cleaner. As the old saying goes you can get 80% of the value with only 20% of the time or money. It's the law of diminishing returns. With the right knowledge and inexpensive tools you can clean your own car to a professional level with just a few tools. You can easily spend less than $500 for tools or less depending if you have some of these things already for mechanical/garage use like drills/shop vacs/compressors. People can get away with a $80 pressure washer. Assessories and other minor tools will bring you close to $300-500 especially if your starting from scratch. Also, video author, $200 doesn't get you much for detailing. This isn't minimum wage work.

@@Mark_Shreds_Fat Detail Geek used the Bissel Spotpro $120 for the longest time, as do many other detail startups or non-pros but yes, sorry to butt in.
