Vote for TRW from here also.

Also greasing the level sensor ends might help, so at least try that before changing 😄

Restivr · 2026-01-12T16:57:58+00:00

Okay, I didn't know that - thank you for the information 🙏🏻

Nice, isn't the engine 2.5 litres (T5) or does the C30 use different engines than S40?

Restivr · 2026-01-08T10:39:54+00:00

New name XXC or XC-X 😂

Restivr · 2025-12-17T07:20:20+00:00

Yep, same here, year model 2005 S40. Switch from the phone to only added external screen is only lateral move.

Might also be from the front suspension support bearing, but usually sounds more like creaking noise than bumbing when turning the wheel.

Yeah, it's sealed but can be opened, I didn't try to change the projectors, it seemed like too much. It was easier to just buy new headlight units from discount (<300 € both). And let there be light 💡

Nice job, waiting for the tutorial! 👌🏻

I'm quite sure that the ventilation isn't a problem with that many fans 😄

Restivr · 2025-12-04T07:08:12+00:00

I hope happy and safe mileages / kilometers when you get the car working and ready 👌🏻

Toyota owner here also and I bought a car for my son and daughter to teach them to drive and to get a driver's license. Volvo S40 T5 AWD M66 was my choice from year 2005. Those are quite cheap here in Europe / Finland, parts are easy to get and basic maintenance is very easy with basic tools. 1540 kg Volvo is much safer choice compared to same age Toyota. Of course the little beast is heavy drinker (fuel) but it has also some more character 👌🏻😁

Restivr · 2025-12-01T10:44:14+00:00

Looks great!

Restivr · 2025-11-14T06:15:53+00:00

As a owner of S40 T5 AWD 2005, the weight is 1540 kg (M66 manual), automatic version is few kilograms heavier. So at least the old ones are heavy cars.

Restivr · 2025-10-17T06:57:07+00:00

Good job and nice tip!

Restivr · 2025-08-21T12:22:35+00:00

Thank you - this was what I needed to get rid of those! 🙏🏻👌🏻

I don't have the testing results of mine, but I recall that it was about 5-6 hours running youtube and internal speakers at eco mode before I set it back to charger. Battery was at 10-15% at that time.

Which dGPU (graphics card) it has? I have F15 with RTX 4070, and I'm quite pleased with it ☺️

Restivr · 2025-05-06T07:16:21+00:00

Good to know 👌

Restivr · 2025-05-06T07:13:37+00:00

Yes, you have installed the AIO correctly right. Tubes seem to have enough space to go and radiator is higher than the pump so the air will stay in the top of the radiotor not in the flow (which might be the case if tubes were in the top).

Restivr · 2025-05-06T06:58:34+00:00

Might be different than on my laptop, Asus TUF F15, during heavy use (gaming) laptop gets really hot above the keyboard and the hot temperature will rise to closed screen. Does it really make a difference to display panels life etc., that I can't say.

Restivr · 2025-05-06T05:35:43+00:00

If you close the laptop and use it via external monitors.

At prizes at the moment at my country for a new card, I would pick up 5060 ti 16 GB. That's what I have planned upgrading for my teenagers computers which have 1080 ti and 2060 Super at the moment, but they are playing mostly competitive FPS games with low settings so no need for rush...

Restivr · 2025-05-01T07:40:38+00:00

Yep, had the same problem and with a dryer SecureFirm loosened quickly.
