Re: 1994 850 Sedan Brake Lights Question (replacement)

YEs you can. Just go to Walmart or where ever and there will be a book with the light bulbs. Look up your model of car and get the number of the bulb you need. At least that is how I always do it.

I am sure someone else will know exactly the bulb you need.

Re: Head gasket leak? 99 S70 T5

I spoke with a mechanic friend in Spain who knows how hard I am on a car.. :D

He says if it was my head gasket, there is no way it would have held up for 8 months, as this has and continues to do so. He seems to think I am looking at a leak in my intake manifold gasket. Seem logical to you guys?

Head gasket leak? 99 S70 T5

For a while now, I have had condensation and white "smoke" coming form my tail pipe. It had been suggested in the past to be me leaking coolant, but I have never noticed a drop in the level, nor have I had to add any. So I never thought that could be it. But today, I decided to look a litt...

Re: 99 S70 T5: Blown headgasket?

Ahh, so no performance gains or anything. They look cooler, but I am not sure if the price difference is worth it. Especially considering at 10 years old now, ANY new hoses would likely outlast the car.
