Re: Volvo 760 2.3 turbo LPG consumption

So it is too much i recon. But what else could be wrong. All ignition components are new (plugs, leads, cap, rotor), also air filter. LPG system components are also new. Could it be catalytic converter is stuffed?

Could anyone decode this VIN

It is 100% correct. Could someone decode it because decoders won't. Most important is model, engine, gearbox. Thanks. Here it is: YV1765872K0026488

Final drive oil is leaking

Good day I have a leaking final drive (previuosly I made gasket out of gasket paper but don't put any sealant). Is there any way to stop leaking without removing final drive (because it is PITA to do so)? Also is there a way to check oil level or you just need to drain it to know what is left? Thanks.

reaction rod

Hi,

I was wondering if I fitted lowering blocks to the back how do I adjust reaction rod? It should be all the way to the back or to the front (variant with elongated hole in bracket on rear axle)? And reaction rod is only on one side. How do I adjust another side correctly?

Diff/gearbox gasket

I need to change my diff/gearbox gasket:

As I can't get it locally could I just use gasket sealant? Or perhaps someone has 1:1 scan so that I can make gasket myself?

Hi,

Perhaps someone knows the exact size/type of biggest bearing which goes on axis which then connects to the gearbox.
