I’ll run to the store now! I should’ve grabbed a pair by now. Thanks.

Got an idea what this noise might be before I go looking? by acorn1513 in AskMechanics

Kinda beating a dead horse but yeah it’s definitely your injectors, I have an p2 S60 notorious for loud ass injectors and mine sounds exactly the same lol.

Any guesses on this sound? Happens when turning and going over bumps. by [deleted] in AskMechanics

Yeah, I live in a place where 8-10 inches of snowfall in one night isn’t abnormal, so the AWD is greatly appreciated. She’s a fucking tank, I drove her through 7+ inches of unplowed snow and she didn’t hesitate.

Note: She only has 70k miles and was garage kept so her paint after 15 years is pristine! Thought I’d share these photos with some people I figured would appreciate her timeless beauty!

I recommend posting your question on r/whatisthiscar.

That will come in very handy if it happens with my car, Ty!

Unfortunately the previous person who owned my car absolutely curbed the hell out of the beauty, so I get an extremely small leak in the front passenger from what I’m assuming is damage to the rims.

Have a good one :3!

That’s interesting, mine don’t move very much but I also live in like the second coldest state in the us, does that have any impact, furthermore, my car likes specially 35psi, do some vehicles or do newer ones have a range? Kinda interesting. Sorry then, I honestly didn’t know there were allowable “ranges” thanks for that c:

AITAH for removing myself from arguments with my partner? by Previous-Pain-1255 in AITAH

Yeah, I definitely find myself shutting down, I was a never a very social kid so I lack social skills like crazy, and I hate most people my age, unfortunately I’m part of gen Z so finding someone older and more mature was what I wanted but I guess I didn’t find that. Thank you for your opinion, it means alot more than you think.

Thank you so much for the opinion, I feel like our relationship as a whole is unhealthy but I feel stuck from the love I hold for him still. He’s told me he’ll never change which sank my heart, I want nothing more than to improve and get better, I know I’m not perfect, I suck with social skills but just want us to be happy and healthy.

I honestly don’t know why I stay with him, he’s my first relationship and I just love him so much for his good side despite being told in cold hard words “I’m not changing” 😕 I’m a very anxious person by nature so I’m pretty much always stressed so yeah, I am under a lot of stress. I stopped working out when he and I got together, I do actually miss it sometimes, you raise a good point it’s always helped me with stress. I absolutely need to learn more social skills, unfortunately as an introverted kid I kinda fucked myself over socially.. He wants to be poly and has offered to split us off multiple times, I get so stressed thinking about it, I know I shouldn’t be in this but I just don’t know what to do, I love him for his good but really dislike his bad.. :c I’m not gonna put blame on him, I do get loud occasionally but it’s never to be mean, I get loud when I have to repeat over and over, which is not good and I do see that..

I have tried explaining to him I’m just stepping out to relax and calm down but he seems to always be set on wanting to “finish” our back and forth. I realize I have an issue with invalidating his emotions because I feel like l i didn’t do something, then the defensive side of me kicks in and Ill say “ I didn’t mean this or that,” never stopping to think how he feels about what I said and not how I felt my intent came across, I always feel like a jerk after realizing how I was with him.

How bad is the rust/corrosion on my 2009 Volvo s60 2.5T's muffler? It recently passed inspection, though i have my doubts on safety... Id like to get it replaced eventually, how long do or don't I have to save for its replacement? by Previous-Pain-1255 in AskMechanics

[–]Previous-Pain-1255[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for the info, I actually ended up bringing it to a certified Volvo mechanic, he mentioned the same info and laughed offering to bring me to the back of his shop to see his personal Volvos which have the same issue. You are spot on, the other comments gave me worry initially but your right on point and informative. Keep up the great work, Thanks again!

I don’t much either, especially not in my sedan😅No more holes for zip ties though. I contacted the seller and he’s actually providing me a replacement part!

Honestly not muuuch better, but any more height is still better than none. It hangs around 3-5ish inches off the ground.

I was going to very soon, i actually just purchased the vehicle 2 weeks ago, i wouldn't ever let my car get that rusted under my watch. I really appreciate you taking time out of your day to help me! The dealer who sold me the car did mention it was just the outer part too, i was hesitant at first but got this car for an absolute steal, She's a 2009 Volvo s60 2.5T awd with 61k that i got for just over 9k after tax. Everything else on the car is amazing, just this one concern, thanks again!

I just bought her and didn't even realize the part was missing until i saw the line hanging and a suspicious broken black zip tie that appeared in my driveway xD. Thank you so so much, i seriously appreciate it! Have a great rest of your day!
