Same tires front and back. It is an AWD so I prefer to replace all 4 at the same time. Unfortunately, I won't be able to investigate this weekend so maybe next weekend. I'll check the inflation this afternoon, but it should be 38psi or less. If I fail to find anything obvious when I investigate, I t...

My 2004 S60 AWD seems to have developed a problem with excessive tire wear in the rear. Last time I checked both front and back tires were relatively close in the amount of wear. Now there is a significant difference. The wear across the tread is fairly even with no excess wear on either the outer o...

I don't have Vida/Dice and I have not had any experience with working with the output of the wideband O2 sensors but maybe someone else will chime in that has more specific knowledge. Fortunately the readout in your video provides a good idea as to what is going on besides the fuel pressure and RPM....

I think that TisMe right about the oil cap seal. The oil was probably on top of the intake before you removed it and ran down into the head when you removed the intake. Check your oil cap seal and you will probably find that it has split and oil is leaking down from there. If there was that much oil...

I'm mostly a DIY, but I live in a state that requires an annual safety inspection. At a minimum I have to go take my cars in for a safety inspection (and/or emissions testing) annually. Along with that I also don't do routine oil changes. Once you subtract out the cost of the oil and filter, it does...

Keep in mind you will likely need to replace the spring seats after about 15k depending on driving habits. If you don't drive much or only on smooth roads it could work out for you through. 15k :shock: Wow! I think my original spring seats lasted at least 60k and they weren't to the point where the...

Oh man! I just wrote all the stuff below because I was stuck on the question about replacing the spring. You mention being able to spin the strut mount cap. If the noise is a clunk or rattle then I bet the problem is loose hardware at the top of the strut or your upper spring seat is shot. My wager ...

I'll second the vote to check for a leak at the bead. I've seen people in the past mention that they had a leak at the bead due to corrosion of the alloy wheels. I had a strange leak on one of my wheels. I would inflate it to the proper pressure, but it would leak and then stabilize at a lower press...

First, cleaned the throttle body and changed plugs and coil packs. Idle improved some (went from around 700 to a nice 850-900RPM) but I can still feel a little rumble at idle. That does not sound correct. That idle speed is too high I changed all the fluids (transmission, oil, brake, antifreeze) th...
