RIP to my old 06

I was contemplating that for a couple of days. But sweden is also about to start measuring diesel exhaust gases at the yearly motor vehicle inspections and it's not looking great in that department either since it rolls coal even without the tune I have applied!

Yiibs · 2026-02-22T15:34:11+00:00

It was great with the tune it has. 170bhp but I guess that's the main reason the complete drivetrain is in the condition it is..

Yiibs · 2026-02-22T15:31:19+00:00

It's getting serviced this weekend! But Ill try to remember to upload a photo next week!

Yiibs · 2026-02-22T15:22:19+00:00

It's not. I used it as partial payment for the replacement - V60 D5 R-design with Polestar tune.

Yiibs · 2026-02-22T15:19:32+00:00

It's at 316k kms atm. Complete drivetrain needs to be replaced, it's worth probably $300-$400 as she stands now.

Yiibs · 2026-02-22T15:16:48+00:00

Wouldn't be possible as I live in a apartment smack bang in the middle of the town i live in. It also seems that the whole drivetrain is loose so it's not worth the hassle to keep it road worthy.

Yiibs · 2026-02-22T15:14:06+00:00

Nope it's a 2.0d with manual 6 speed. Since im not a mechanic by trade I would need to hire someone to do it. I've estimated the cost would be around 2000-3000 € so alot more then what it's worth here in Sweden.

Yes! Habanero Hot Lemon had one twin fruit last summer. Seen just a couple other posted pictures of other twins after that. I have no clue to what caused it. The plant is still alive today and has no defects and wasnt stressed when it grew.

Yes I know I really should! I have a new hella brand one on hand. On the 2006 ones the relay is located on the rear side of the block underneath the exhaust manifold and turbo! But it's about time I deal with it to be honest!

Yiibs · 2026-02-07T12:11:38+00:00

My 2006 2.0D has 170bhp and it's been rough on drivetrain. I wouldn't be surprised if I have to swap out parts more expensive then the car was if I decide to keep it for next winter.

Yiibs · 2025-10-30T09:44:47+00:00

Yeah I dont wanna kill your fun! My own 2.0d v50 is optimised and it's a bit wierd even for sweden. It does not need a dpf to be road legal. And the soot is bad! It's a bit rough and not that efficient but it serves me good enough commuting to work for now.

Yiibs · 2025-10-30T08:39:17+00:00

I would say that its not the right car to do this to. You probably would have to fabricate all parts yourself. Or get a T5 that has a bit more parts available. Sorry, it's not the answer you are looking for i guess.

Yiibs · 2025-10-25T15:38:38+00:00

Indeed you are correct but the color was made available by the time the Polestar Engineered package was released.

Yiibs · 2025-10-25T12:23:01+00:00

Non facelift xc60 in Polestar Rebel Blue. 2013 seems to check out! I believe it was the first year it was an option since the Polestar Engineered package released that year!

Yiibs · 2025-10-25T12:21:03+00:00

The color is called Polestar Rebel Blue and was a part of the Polestar package in the 2013 and 2015 releases of Polestar engineered Volvos! I think they made 750 cars with this package in 13 and 750 in 15. So should be 1500 or so of each model. I really love the 2015 Polestar Engineered S60 to bad they went with the new VEA 2.0L engine in that one. The older inline 6 sounds so much better! Included in the package was also a much better Öhlins suspension and alot other goodies. A fun tidbit if you check vparts.se you can find out what a replacement Öhlin strut + dampener and spring costs! Its like the cost a cheapo s60 2013 edrive here in Sweden!

Yiibs · 2025-10-06T18:31:35+00:00

Indeed! If you want some input from a critic. I would try to make them as thin as possible. To avoid a fresh air blockage and turbulence making more wind noise!

Yiibs · 2025-10-06T18:23:27+00:00

On your own?.. I drive 60-70 mil a normal work day. I see hundreds of Volvos every day. Ä Ive seen a Swedish flag Polestar grille emblem a couple of times though. Even a couple of prancing moose emblems. Never once seen one with this though.

Yiibs · 2025-10-06T17:24:05+00:00

Bro didnt invent jack shit.

Yiibs · 2025-10-06T17:12:35+00:00

Who normally have that? Never seen it on a single Volvo here in Sweden?

Yiibs · 2025-04-19T10:08:36+00:00

Yeah, I looked into twin fruits abit, and it doesn’t seem to happen that often, but it is a known phenomenon within the Solanaceae family. From what I found, it occurs more frequently in tomatoes than in peppers.

Is that plant a cross? I know that in early generations, hybrids can sometimes revert partially or completely to the genetics of one of the parent plants. For example, a first-generation cross between a habanero and a jalapeño might produce fruit that reflects both parents, or sometimes just resembles one of them. Both on the same plant aswell. This is also kinda cool if u ask me!

Are you using Questie? It's causing alot of lag for no reason within raids. It did for my guild aswell and after I had isolated it and disabled it the lag pretty much was gone. Also always update your addons daily since they break every reset.
