When I replaced my timing belt two years ago I did so very carefully, and yet after double-checking I found it was one tooth off, so I wasn't careful enough. I corrected it before starting the engine. The engine ran better than with the old belt, which I found slightly, slightly longer than the new ...

Short answer is no, the labor required would be the same as replacing all of it anyway. I kept all my old stuff for months after replacing the PCV and associated plumbing thinking I would take a stab at cleaning it and decided that it was in no way feasible.

98 s70 T5. Almost 280k miles. Lent to a friend. Only use synthetic oil. The car was 1000 miles away from an oil change when I got the call that something was wrong. No oil on the dip stick. Added 2 quarts- still nothing on the dip stick. Loud clicking after I filled to the max line on the dipstick....

Have you seen the link for I think it is V-parts? They are making 3D printed parts and repair sections. They were on here somewhere.

The clear-coat evens out the appearance of it and preserves the labels. Adds a harder protective coating so it doesn’t wear more. It real...

Decided to tackle the numerous interior noises: first step, the cargo area. The cracked speaker trim has been reglued and i've given a go at 3d printing new clips to replace the broken ones that hold the upper trim https://i57.servimg.com/u/f57/16/41/73/43/2024-014.png At this price i can waste some...

I was motivated by the BLO success, to go further. Also, the biggest “wagon” festival in the world is a few miles away in six or seven weeks. Might as well show up clean and pretty. LoL, wrote this up but it was dumped by the forum as normal. 1C630114-42DD-46BA-885B-DFA763BD9945.jpeg 6723DBFA-9D28-4...
