View 3 Replies2000 Volvo S70, 177K - This car is new to me, and shortly after purchasing it, I began having difficulty removing the ignition key when arriving at a destination. With the transmission in Park, and the engine shut off, the key just won't come out. Then again, sometimes there's no problem at all. Oddly, the problem seems to correlate with the cabin/engine temp. If I allow the car to cool off, then go back to it in a half hour, the key will usually come right out. Same thing with short trips. I'm fortunate so far that I've not been in any high crime areas where leaving the key would be risky; but I will need to solve this eventually.
I understand that there's a safety switch/sensor that ensures the vehicle is in Park before the key can be removed, and I've tried being a bit more "forceful" in shifting to P, but that doesn't seem to work. I'll be taking this to my mechanic anyway for a state safety inspection followup; are there any hints I can give him if I can't figure it out myself?
Is the temperature factor suggestive that the problem is in the transmission sensor? I'd prefer that the issue be a sensor or adjustment rather than in the ignition switch just to avoid the re-keying mess.
What are the correct timing marks and positions for a Volvo 940 Turbo? I especially need the position of the crankshaft pulley. I have read the timing mark is on the cover, but unfortunately mine has dry rotted and crumbled away.
View 1 RepliesIs it on the Fuse box or at the ECU. I heard you just pull a wire and tape it to the side, I just don't know where its at! Also, a picture wouldn't hurt.

View 8 Replies2010 Golf 2.5 with non-MF steering wheel. I bought a MF steering wheel with module, wiring etc. I finally decided to do the swap today. I can't even take the airbag off!
I disconnect the battery, turn the wheel 90 degrees left, use a small mirror to see the tab behind and insert a flat screwdriver and pry it towards the center.
It does not pop out.. I pull the airbag little bit, it does not clear. When I remove the screwdriver, the hook sits back on the tab again..
I've tried on both sides for almost an hour and the goddamn airbag is still there...
I'm looking to take out my ECU and send it to APR to get tuned. Where is the ECU on the MKVI and how do you remove it?
I removed my old R32 ECU a while back. Is it in the same place as the MKIV?
We are in the process of taking off the downpipe of our R. We can not figure out the trick to getting the front lower bolt of the downpipe. For that matter we can not even see the damn thing. Do you get to it from the top or bottom?
View 13 RepliesI was following the directions on the APR site to remove the ECU and it seems to not make sense. Saying the ECU is on the passenger side underneath the molding....
is the ECU in the center?
Are there any threads with pix? Mine developed a creaking noise every time I hit a bump and it is driving me crazy.

View 6 RepliesA friend of mine has a 2002 Pontiac Gran Prix with a reoccurring issue. It seems that from time to time that when she stops and wishes to exit the car she is unable to remove the key from the ignition. She has had it into the same shop on a couple of times and they can't seem to figure it out. Well someone told her that if it happened turn the key to the position before it starts the car, use the power lock button and unlock the doors then turn the car off and guess what each time she has done that the key can be removed. Why, when she unlocks the doors the key will come out but if she doesn't the key can't be removed.

View 2 RepliesMy neighbor asked me to look at her "car". The car is around a '92. After taking the column apart, I found the problem. The PLASTIC piece connecting the ignition switch to the ignition box broke. I would like to know the name of that part, and anywhere one can be found(new). I know I probably have to remove the steering wheel, and of course, the ignition switch.

View 1 RepliesI went on a trip this past weekend and I guess one of the corners of a box which I put on the passenger's seat had a sticky tab...and it left a smudge on my seat. I can't get it out.
When I try to rub it out, it just makes my finger feel sticky, and I get a friction burn.
I've tried a damp rough microfiber cloth (the kind you use on laptop screens) and I've even tried an upholstry cleaner, which seems to work just a little, but I feel like whatever it is just spreads out.
How do I remove these kinds of weird smudges? (I'm not really looking for a seat cover. I just want the smudge out, or as much "out" as possible without ruining the cloth.)
