Re: 96 850 Alternator Removal & Replace

I just replaced my alternator and it only 4 bolts are required to be removed. Had to lower my coolant level too. I used Robert DIY's video over on UTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mo8RveSrAoU Robert's method has you take out the power steering bracket/ tensioner bracket out in one piece. Very ti...

Re: 1997 850 T5 Low Compressions

Well, that first go around where I didn't properly warm the engine with the testing I did do a few of the cylinders wet and the readings jumped dramatically. I am thinking of a replacement car like a Subaru Outback. The XC70 's looked interesting but its the difference of inheriting someone else's p...

Re: 1997 850 T5 Low Compressions

185. I was hoping for that. Don't know the history of my car for the first 84,000 miles, apparently it wasn't good enough. I am curious how I have had this car 10 yrs and have accepted how she drives. I am assuming she doesn't have quite the performance that it could have. The rest of car is in grea...

Re: 1997 850 T5 Low Compressions

I screwed up on the test. It was dead cold. Got below freezing last night. Too much oil on wet test too. Thanks. Anyway, I have been doing full synthetic 10w30 Quaker and changing it every 3000-4000. I over do it. Thanks

1997 850 T5 Low Compressions

So I compression tested my car today. Didn't have any engine lights. The car seemed to run fine although I burn a little oil. It was about mid 60's F today and I live at 6200'. Not sure what influences the testing. Anyway, got 130 psi across the first 4 (from passenger side) and 120 something on the...
