Denatured alcohol is ethanol + additives to make it undrinkable.

I got a pressure bleeder like that, never cleaned it, hmmm...

After a few weeks of consideration and reading all your comments, talking to the master mechanic at my local Volvo dealer and hearing my 12 year old say: "I knew it was you coming home, I heard you long before I saw the headlights ..." I decided to stick with what I've got. For long trips,...

Getting the big nut off the dryer is almost impossible in those tight quarters. Solution: remove the suction line from the compressor, and then lift the dryer off with the hose attached. On the bench, the dryer hose is much easier. I also cut the evaporator snouts off with a Dremel rather than fuss ...

DO NOT GET USED NIVOMATS! If they are more than 10 (15 at best) years old, they are not worth it.

This is the first time I've ever seen a scan tool that is able to ...

I have a question for you guys. My 00 V70R sits for about half the year or more in a heated garage. Normally I swap the engine oil before putting the car away. Last year due to helping others with their car projects the car did not get it's engine oil changed before being hibernated. What is the que...

If it's my car...i wouldn't change it at 1k miles.
