Deep cleaned the interior of the family hauler

Wiped down the interior with dawn and water, some spots used chemical guys interior cleaner, steam cleaned the carpet, removed stains and candy and shampooed the carpet.


I couldn't leave the outside untouched. Cleaned the wheels with PB wheel cleaner, various brushes and dawn dish soap, cleaned the paint with C Quartz iron x soap in a foam Cannon and then used C Quartz hydro again though a foam Cannon

Continuing maintenance on the daily

Replaced the lower abs right side engine mounts today. The rust made it huge task. Also replaced the fuel filter but sure when or if this was ever replaced. It was a pain to get the connectors off that's for sure.

More maintenance on the Odyssey

The purge valve was making a ticking noise, the PCV valve is 12 yrs old and 145k miles and after reading about the problems with Honda and the VCM I decided to install the S-VCM delete kit. While under the hood cleaned all the plastic.

More maintenance on the daily

The top engine mount on my 05 XC70 was worn out. Didn't look like it's coming apart or anything but you can move the strut bar alot. I went with the polyurethane bushing and switched from square to round style for no other reason then it was on sale at FCP I also switched it the strut bar mounts and went with the solid units. Finally I replaced my cabin filter that was a simple but a pain of a job my fat butt had hard time getting under there to get the rear screws lined up.
