Don't bypass the coolant tank. As coolant heats, it expands. Tank has air at top which is compressible but without that, the fluid will blow off a hose at best.

Measure it, it may be 16-mm. I had the same issue with my 1998 BMW 528i, a trip to bicycle store to buy a thin wrench worked! Of course, use the thin wrench with propane heat on the nut side. I use an open end wrench from Harbor Freight - PITTSBURGH; it has the right depth. It slides over the count...

The elk had an issue with not opening the fuel filler door release. Of course it had to happen at a gas station, as the gas tank was as good as dry... Tried to find the emergency release handle behind the trunk interior side cover without success. Flipped a coin in my mind and took the trip to the m...

Okay; I raided an '06 S80 2.5T for some parts today at the U-Pull. First of all; I pulled a clearly aftermarket MAF and housing off the car and put it on my XC70.
