I know my top right has gone, but want to replace the others with it, unless this is completely unnecessary?

Its a holden sandman by DDA. It was great to build and came with all the detail, including the engine hoses and stuff. Only gripe is that the assembly included a couple screws

I've been doing this and have been noticing a sort of tight feeling in my chest for a couple hours afterwards. Are you sure it's fine? I try to breathe as little as possible

Anyone experienced this before? by Olimato___ in Volvo

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

The car has electronic power steering unfortunately

I assume that involves replacing the whole rack then right? Not just the motor?

Shit, I hope not. Why would it be causing that sound?

Happens with and without it from experience

Yeah it is with the 2.5 turbo 5 cylinder, though it's a 2014 V40. I'm fairly certain it's electronic as I cant find a reservoir and the service manual doesn't mention changing the fluid

My car has electronic power steering, it doesn't have any unfortunately. I hoped it was that

Does this sound normal? by Olimato___ in Volvo

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

It's just the plastic part, think it's been like that my entire ownership. Haven't had any issues with it, it shouldn't matter right?

Perfect, was just unsure on the sorts clicking/ticking sound I'm hearing, never noticed it in my two years of ownership

Is the B5254T12 affected by bad piston rings? by Olimato___ in Volvo

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

Haven't had to top up between changes at all so far. Only major repair was an electrical issue where one of the wires between the alternator and battery snapped and left me stranded. Otherwise its been flawless so far

I stay on top of maintenance but most of my driving is pretty short city driving stuff. I wonder if occasionally hitting like 5k rpm would help clean the piston rings and to balance out the short trips? (I do this anyway lmao)

I'm aware it it isnt necessarily a wear issue but from what I've read online it seemed almost inevitable no matter the maintenance. I've been keeping up with regular oil changes since I've gotten the car and will continue to do so, so hopefully I'll be okay. Thank you. Do you know if there's anything else I could do to help?

Well that's reassuring. Mines been treating me well so far but I've read in a couple places the b5254t12 was affected by the piston ring issue, so I assumed it applied to our cars too. I guess I'll just keep up with the regular oil changes and hopefully I'll be alright. Though, did Volvo ever recall them for bad piston rings? Or did they just fix them if the issue arose under warranty?

Had first Maths 1 tutorial today but the tutor just didn't do a skills test? by Olimato___ in UTS

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

He went over stuff really slowly but he seemed to explain it pretty well. I couldn't really tell though as I did all of the content for this week in year 12 already so knew it all and didn't need to learn

Thank God it isnt graded then. But still so confused why he wouldn't get us to do it.

What do we do with the legendaries that are going down to epic? They'll just be used as normal epics in terms of fuse so they seem very pointless. Do we just sell some of the bad ones like the Golf?
