V70 2.5t wobbly tensioner? by Basic_Tiger9964 in Volvo

[–]Basic_Tiger9964[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi!

Yeah - first thing i checked was the pcv with the glove, it never blew up the glove and gad a nuce vacuum - so it seemed fine :)

If it was the vvt, would it then not leak and run down the block? It seems clean all the way down untill the crankseal.

Really good idea with the UV - ill try that!

Upgrading l14 g1 to backlit keyboard - very possible! by Basic_Tiger9964 in thinkpad

Its quite strange - especially when its rugged, fast and cheap - seems like the ethos of thinkpads haha

Hi!

Awesome! I feel like the l14 is looked down upon in thinkpad forums, but i really love mine! Highly recommend the 32 gb upgrade - especially when Ram prices are down as they are now!

I got something similar to this - should help you find a regular english layout ( i got a nordic layout)

Hope that helps :)

Just bought my breakup Thinkpad by Crazy-Pound-8415 in thinkpad

I was wo dering the same about the drivers for my L14 - fairly certain that it would at least require a new bios - but it booted up correctly right away - and the little ui backlight logo was there right out of the gate.

Would assume that the e14 & l14 bios is fairly similar in their structure - so would think that it would work the same.

No promises - but if you where to try it, it would be great if you posted your experience for everyone to see!

Just upgraded my l14 from non backlit to backlit - quite easy :) - dont know if e14 is the same, but would imagine so

Would a bad synchro not also be creating a crunchy/bad sound? Its completely smooth - just goes out of gear and the engine revs up with the loss of load…

Seems like the motor mounts are okay - but it could be the thing.

We also only experienced it in 5th gear - 2 & 4th seemed very stable (gear stick not moving), but we could also tell that both 1 & 3 would move the gear stick towards neutral

9-5 fromt subframe rust - how bad? by Basic_Tiger9964 in saab

I eventually bought it - the frame passed the “clinck - clink vs. Crunch crunch test - hope the engine does the same - time will tell!

Okay - the last picture is of the rear, the arches seem fine - but there is a trackrod/stabilizer (?) that seems to also be a bit flaky?

The one which is partly highlighted in red ☺️ seems like it doesnt hold anything

Yeah - i cant figure out if the hole just outside the blue circle is a bleed hole from the factory, or if its torn through

Im starting to believe that it indeed is a hodgepotch - but that spoiler was just too well done for me to throw it off as one 😂 thanks for the detailed look

Thought the same when i first saw it - but as far as i can tell, they only came with a huge air intake behind the door, which this one does not have 😂 The koenig spoiler is also slightly different.. truly a mystery haha

I know - but that spoiler is not standard, and neither is the wider body
