Actually I can’t tell. I was just happy that I was over with the job. The rattling noise is gone.

It is probably worth noticing, that FCP euro sells the one way clutch in a kit for the scheduled pulley job.

I find this thread gives me some hope. I have had my CEL coming on and off for awhile and every time it was the cats, P0240 and P0230. Then the CEL started staying on. Last year in March, my shop gave me a verbal estimate of $8,000 to fix it, and kinda hinted that perhaps I needed to look elsewhere ...

Any ideas on my hope to avoid spending big bucks plan to pass the emissions test? P0230 & P0240 is the wiring to the injectors or the injectors on cylinder #3 & #4. Misfire on # 6. Any of these three can certainly keep it from passing emissions. I would start with cleaning the electrical co...

Pgill gives excellent advice. Pay attention to the condition of the spark plugs you remove. Also look down the spark plug well with a flash light and look at the piston tops.

Whether it is your cost of ownership or average yearly mileage, or both, your S80 is on the higher end of price range. For someone with good credit could take it away from you for $83-93 per month, while buyers keeps the cash.

Somehow I can feel the smoothness of the paint through the screen



She looks fantastic.

FIXED !! (let's hope I didn't jynx it...) Ok, here's the deal. It's been over 5k miles since I installed the spacer and replaced the PCV Trap. (See my last post) I did both of these things together even though neither were "needed" as the last attempt to fix this problem, hoping (and not c...

Dude, I replaced the wrong one didn't I.
