Color of my '93 850 GLT

Hey all, This may sound like some what of a silly question, but, I'm doing some body work on my '93 850 GLT and wanted to know exactly what color it is. I know that there were only a few colors made (first year of production). Mine is the dark burgundy/purpleish metallic finish. I've found a few can...

07 Traction control errgh

Hey, I recently bought this 07 C70 T5, I am fairly impressed, except for the traction control feature. Living in a "wintery" climate, we've got snow and ice for 6 months of the year, so we've all had to become quite apt at driving in slippery conditions. Although the C70 handles well in dr...

I just wanted to thank you all again for the great help and advice, such quick replies made it easy to get the job done efficiently. After reseting the module there has been no other warning lights (I drove 200km's this morning). So I'm assuming that it was just a temporary thing. I will however spr...

Thanks for the tips. MAF? Sorry I learned all this stuff in French and don't know the terms very well in English. However, spray on solutions sound good to me. Since I've owned this car (2years) I haven't kept up on that kind of maintenance. My alternative theory is that while I was driving down thi...

Hey thanks for the precise steps to follow. Holy cow, the guizmo actually works!! All except for the fact that upon putting the jumper into "A2" the LED flashed 5-1-2. According to the list of diagnostic codes this number sequence is not a possibility. Am I missing something? What does 512...

93 850 GLT Dash warning lights

Upon an unsuccessfull search, I haven't been able to find the meaning of the recent light on the dash. Next to the service engine light, orange with green triangle and upside down Y. Does anyone have the manual/know what this means? Forgive my ignorance, Cheers ------------------------------------- ...

What a pickle... Is the Tick tick tick rough enough to indicate a dead cylinder? In addition to the previous suggestion, take out the spark plug (of the cylinder with the wet plug), then put it back into the distributor line. Get someone to turn the car over (just for a second) and see if you're spa...
