ah yeah that would make sense re: stronger joint I suppose
the one I linked still probably would stretch over it I guess it would be harder work though I just preferred to not mess about with dismantling the joint itself which is a bit messy and getting the shaft out at the 'box end can be a bit of drama |

Throttle body repair
Completed throttle body repair on my 2002 v70. It was suffering from irregular tick over and running. Issue diagnosed by an independent Volvo specialist who advised a new throttle body or send for repair.
Not being able to find a suitable repairer, I bought a contactless replacement TPS and went about fitting it myself, not too difficult although digging out the silicone around the contacts was a bind. Interestingly, the instructions tell you to cut off the rotating shaft and then unscrew the base nut - not a good idea as you're left with nothing to grip when trying to unscrew an exceedingly tight nut! The contact prongs on the new TPS were pretty short but I'd already decided to hand over the soldering of the new connections to my local auto electrical specialist - he only wanted a fiver but I couldn't give him less than a tenner for a job like that! Now fitted and the engine is running much smoother and no coughing on acceleration. Job well done.

turned out it was worth a try then, sounds like you got lucky on that one
presumably the idea of the cutting first is that removing the nut afterwards straightens out the thread again for ease of getting the nut back on.. but there's other ways of dealing with that Last edited by stuart bowes; Mar 14th, 2024 at 02:42. |
