Re: 1997 850 wet under timing cover? Picture

I would say that very indicative of a leaking water pump. Mine was doing that and I rode on it for while, and was probably lucky. It was leaking through the shaft. I never showed up in the weep hole and that is where it is supposed to weep if that shaft has a leak. I guess when it gets bad enough it ...

Re: 1995 850GLT Cabin Roof Cloth Coming Undone

I used the 3M headliner spray and it has repaired the front and back edges that had started to drop/peel back. The spray is really easy to work with, even if you get some on the glass it will come off easy. My last 850 started to droop in the middle over the back seat. I had it crushed. I don't let ...

Re: Overboosting?

We need to get to official lengths for those hoses. I am sure there are many out there running with the wrong lengths.

Re: 1997 850 GLT B5254t Oil out/ Oil in ?

Thanks for the info. So the consensus is that it is optimal to fill the oil to the max mark? I do have some vertical play in my dipstick @ 1 mm-2. I will get a new one soon.

Re: 1997 850 GLT B5254t Oil out/ Oil in ?

I am getting 4.5 qts out. The car has well over 250k, PCV redone about a year ago, with cam rear seals. I change the oil every change of season. I have been using synthetic since head was redone about 3-4 years ago. Lately that has been Pennzoil Platinum. No sludge visible, and I used BG109 prior to ...

1997 850 GLT B5254t Oil out/ Oil in ?

I can get the dipstick to read halfway between min/max with 5 qts, and get less than 5 quarts out at oil changes. I always allow for 6 quarts but never use the last quart. I have read that oil at max is not optimal. My main concern is how much oil should be able to get in the motor? B5254T

It appears to be an ABS pump going by the part number that is on the label.

Re: Newish Highway Speed Limits

Those 6 speed plus transmissions in the newer cars out there today can speed along at those speeds without feeling like they are on it.

Re: 1995 850 Turbo About those heated seats...

A well designed heated seat is one that you don't notice but the seats aren't cold. Thats what I seem to have in my car.
