When we just left her driveway, the transmission went into like a winter/limp mode, the dash indicator said -- and it the check engine/transmission service requir...

Re: Please, help a college student!

Awesome, thank you so much Lee! I was really hoping one of you guys would put your 2 cents in. I think I'll just get through inspection next month and go from there. I am very glad to know that the white foam is nothing to be worried about. (I drove roughly 50 miles 3 days a week to/from school. I'm...

Please, help a college student!

Hi guys, here's my situation... I currently drive a '96 854T :mrgreen:. The odometer stopped at 144,302 so I'd estimate around 170,000 - 190,000 on it currently. It needs new suspension, tires, front brakes, the timing belt and then the issues I'm not sure about such as the white "foamy" s...

S70 AWD, 1999, Rear whine? Help!

Hi, I found a 99' S70 AWD with 185k on body, 100k on engine.

They are only asking $1,200 due to that and I really want the AWD for traveling back/...

Re: 96 850 Heated rear seats?
