At this point, after many repairs and many more frustrations, my wife has purchased a brand new car :) . This means that there will be very little issues over the next few years (hopefully!).. so thank y...

Re: Thermostat bolts

I had to give my two torx screws a heck of a lot of muscle to get them out. I used a good set of high-end torx bits, almost stripped-out one of them, but each after enough muscle cracked loose.

Re: Vacuum leak at connection on Intake tube to Turbo

Thanks guys... I will do some price checking, etc. tomorrow.

I've got a local used parts dealer that may perhaps have this part in good condition at a reasonable price.

Re: Vacuum leak at connection on Intake tube to Turbo

In my case I'm happy putting out the $ to make it new. to replace in order to repair, can I replace the connector, or do I also need to replace the hole large tube/hose?? I simply don't want to JB weld (I have used it lot's in the past) and have another problem again in the future, etc.

Re: Vacuum leak at connection on Intake tube to Turbo

Thanks Vegasjetski for posting the images. The 3rd .pdf shows the hose identified as #21 - that the tube/hose that I am speaking of. And the loose hose is number six that runs from the front of the engine around the block. This plugs into #8 - these look to connect to the #21 "tube/hose" a...

Vacuum leak at connection on Intake tube to Turbo

Replaced my fuel pressure regulator due to low pressure at the schraeder valve on the end of the fuel rail when at idle. New FPR didn't solve this problem. Somehow in the midst of messing with cleaning the Throttle Body I realized that the Black plastic air tube that runs from the air cleaner to the...

Re: CEL 2-3-1 - fuel pressure at 35lbs.. What now??!

Alrighty... (I know that alrighty isn't a word...) so last post for this problem hopefully; replaced the FPR with a used unit from a 95 855T and it seems that accleration is really smooth, no struggling fuel delivery... so we'll see....

Re: spring options for 850 wagon

I doubt this is your issue, but I bought a new set of shock for all four point on my wagon last fall. I ran into the issue of having Nivomats in the rear and replacing them with shocks... that created an issue as the nivomats are made to hold wait unlike normal shocks. What I did however find out re...
