Denso also fail but it seems I have more Bosch ones being cloned of late probably more due to the popularity of the turbo five cylinder. One thing a car can't do well is diagnose it's own ECM when intermittently faulty. If you're lucky you'll get a failed communication code on Vida ECM-003 I think i...

Vida is software. Dice is the box.

When you plug in Dice to a Windows laptop does it ask for a driver?

When the exterior casing cracks they misfire. If you peel back the rubber boot you can thoroughly inspect the casing and check for this, otherwise they last a long, long time. You can do this at every spark plug change as routine maintenance. I have purchased aftermarket boots from AC Delco for $15 ...

I have used these on all our Volvo turbos: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000KKF4BK/ref=twister_B01EB23M2A?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 They're cheap, last well for the cost and easy to get hold of. Try to use Matthews link to Amazon for purchases as it keeps the site running and pays for the late night cof...

Just set up voltage on sensor 2 (Sacer side) at anywhere between 1.3 and 1.5 volts between pins 1 and 3 of Sacer sensor with ignition on.

If you adjust magnet and voltages with plate in idle resting position with ignition on (or 12V applied from a power source) you will be fine. Aim for 1.43 V as this is the exact centre of operation range. ie. ETM will not start at below 1.24V and will not start at above 1.58V so 1.41-1.43 (being the...

Now 11,000 kms later and no change in shift operation. Too bad the 2G car phone no longer works; Vodafone officially ceased 2G support 8 days ago.

I don't have one on my 2001 V70 T5 because I removed it. Engine bay DOES get grimier than I'd like though. The point about salted roads by Oragex holds a lot of weight in certain climates.

The bolts are M8 and I think the pitch is 1.25

I had rod knock on my original 2001 T5 engine and I ran it until the rod smashed out through the block-no oil pressure lights at all. I hope it isn't a rod or main bearing
