Merry Christmas everybody!

Did the heater core junction box bypass today on the R. Just have to wrap some things up in the morning, but I've really happy with how it turned out! I used 5/8" silicone heater hose and ordered some ABA hose clamps from eEuro (yes, there's a BIG difference between these and the cheap auto sto...

I thought when cam sensors fail it causes a no start? Not always. When my crank sensor went out, it was having these weird "hiccups" when I would start accelerating from a stop, almost cutting out. It was a little scary at times! Eventually I got a multi-cylinder misfire code and a crank ...

You're so right but the Asian cars other than the new Subaru Accent are lacking... The Accent crash tests look exceptionally good. Really Subaru has ...

I just rebuilt the driver side axle on my 2000 R, which now has an M56 and an auto axle that came out of a '99 GLT. Same outer CV joint as j-dawg's car without the visible clip. When I reinstalled it the first time, the joint came out after driving it about 20 feet. It takes some force to get the ou...

I don't have a Volvo PN for this particular TCV, but the Pierburg PN is 7.22908.03.0.
