What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I'm intrigued

 

Was that your factory battery? I still have mine in my ‘19. Wonder if I should replace it before winter gets here, just in case.

 

That would work. I went ahead and got the store bought ones.

How’d the maggy run today?

 

It was, indeed. Was doing fine up until a few days ago. Needed my jump starter the last 2 days at work to get me home.

 

thats what she said

 

this mess

 

I do as well but I think they have gone to far.

 

I have replaced my OEM battery 2x. If it can't sit for a week without loosing a charge or it cranks slowly after sitting for the weekend then I suggest replacing before winter.

 

i have never flushed brake fluid ever in any car i owned

 

I had my mechanic do a full brake job at 150000klms and and 8 years old. When I got it back the brakes were no better and felt spongy. I will be doing a brake flush myself.

 

it depends on how the rears are adjusted or if they were completely bled, when the rear cylinders are honed alot of fluid is lost so some fluid is replaced

 

I didn't take it far just up the street to get some coffee for breakfast. I was on a plane for work Wednesday and there were a few people coughing and I woke up sick this morning. i plan on flashing the OTT tune Sunday

 

It's a good idea. Caliper pistons/bleeder screw will rust over time. Of course at that point a new caliper is easier than rebuilding.

 

I wish you geeks would pay attention to your driving!

It's a full time job you know.

 

I took the XC90 in for the 40 K service on Wed. That includes a brake system flush. There are so many systems that use that fluid it's crazy. Changing every four years is NOT excessive!

 

Use a socket to initially loosen the bleeders not an open wrench.. sometimes they seize a bit compliments from weather and time.

 

"When the rear cylinders are honed" ???? What are you talking of?

 

Best is a 6 point box end. I have been known to put a vise-grip on the wrench for the stubborn fittings. Nothing worse than a round over!

 

I block him, but I can still see his posts when quoted. Dude is off his meds.
