Matworks.com. Not the smoothest process, but they stand behind their work and make things right.

Re: Power Steering Question

I gave it all I had today, and it wouldn't budge but an inch or so. Would this indicate a frozen steering cable?

Power Steering Question

With the engine off, should I be able to muscle the outdrive left & right? I cant be sure, but I thought that I used to be able to do this and upon just trying it wouldn’t budge.

Thanks

Volvo Penta 8.1 GX-i Oil Volume?

2005 engine.

What is the correct amount of oil required? Online and serv manual show 8.5 but most I can extract or fill to top of dip stick safe line when empty is like 6.5 quarts.

Is this thread accurate?
