Bulb-Out Relay Circuit Concerns. [Dave Barton] I have done four cars to date (one 240, two 740's, and one 760) and no problems with the vehicles' "bulb-out circuits" have surfaced. The key with this circuit is to maintain even current draw between the left and right sides of the car. Installing these light as outlined here should not interfere with your "bulb-out" feature.

Brake Fluid Comparison FAQ Home Volvo Maintenance FAQ for 7xx/9xx/90 Cars Version 7.3 This information was compiled by Gary Hackney and was edited for Volvo cars by S. Ringlee. Many of the racing fluids with poor wet boiling points or fluid incompatibilities were removed since these fluids are not designed for everyday use. Only Glycol (Polyalkylene Glycol Ether) fluids are shown; no silicone DOT 5 fluids are listed because they may not be used in Volvo cars without major brake system modifications. The new DOT 5.1 glycol fluids may be used, since they are compatible with DOT 3 and 4. The DOT specifications are based on the concept of wet and dry boiling points. The dry boiling point is applicable when fluid is fresh and the wet boiling point after the fluid has been exposed to moisture and has had the opportunity to adsorb water. The minimum values for the wet and dry boiling points are specified for each DOT level, and increase from 3 through 5. Note that these are minimum values, and there is no constraint on by how much a manufacturer may exceed them. To achieve a DOT rating, the fluid must meet both dry and wet boiling point specifications. In addition to DOT level, another important consideration in selecting a brake fluid is the presence of anti-corrosion additives, commonly found in street fluids but not in track fluids. Note that Volvo ABS-equipped cars must have brake fluids flushed every two years to remove moisture, renew additives, and prevent corrosion. From BMW: Brake Fluid Moisture Effects Corrosion Issues. [Adapted from Brake and Front End magazine, May 2004] The single most important reason brake fluid must be changed regularly is to replenish the anticorrosion additives. Corrosion inhibitors, pH stabilizers and antioxidants are added to brake fluid to improve the long-term corrosion protection of brake systems. Over time these corrosion inhibitors can become depleted leaving the internal parts of the brake system vulnerable to corrosion. There are many variables involved in determining how long it takes to deplete the corrosion inhibitors including brake fluid chemistry, chemical and thermal stability, brake system design, driving habits of the operator, frequency of maintenance, temperature, and road surfaces. Another unrelated extensive study found that the buffer capacity and inhibitor concentrations "drop to less than 10% of their initial levels after only 30 months of service". (Jackson, SAE paper 971007,Corrosion Prevention SP-1265, 1997) The rate of depletion is affected by many factors. One of the studies found the rate of depletion is fastest at the wheels. This is where the fluid is exposed to the highest degree of heat and the heat causes the corrosion inhibitors to breakdown. Vehicles with ABS show even faster degradation due to the aggressive circulation of the fluid caused by the cycling of the ABS system. This, combined with the fact that ABS systems use close tolerance valves and other precision parts, makes them more susceptible to the affects of corrosion or deposits. Copper has a direct role in the corrosion of the brake system, as well as providing an indirect relationship to the age of the brake fluid. In a NIST report, Ricker et al hypothesize "the copper in the brake lines corrodes at a slow rate over several months or years resulting in copper ions in the brake fluid. These ions then act as oxidizers and plate out in the ABS valves when the corrosion inhibitors can no longer prevent corrosion of the ferrous
