Re: Car eating oil- Breather box replacement costs?
I guess I don't have much to compare it to, but I put a quart in sometime last week, and just had to do so again yesterday. I checked the seals yesterday, they appear to be okay. I don't really think there's oil coming from my filler cap, but while I was adding oil yesterday I did notice a few wisps...

Re: Instrument panel lights MIA
So I pulled the dimmer switch as recommended above- the switch had some gunk under it. Kind of an odd spot, but I cleaned it up and put it back and the lights work now. I don't know if it was the cleaning or just that I jostled something in a way that needed to be, but I'm good now! I really appreci...

Car eating oil- Breather box replacement costs?
Hi! I'm getting pretty prolific with the postings today. Here we go again: I took my car in for an oil change and overall checkup a while back. I do have an oil leak apparently, and was told it was due to a breather box/system issue. I let that sit for a while as the repair costs seemed pretty high,...

Re: Instrument panel lights MIA
Any suggestions on how to check the dimmer or connector, or perhaps a link to someplace that could tell me?

Re: Instrument panel lights MIA
Yes, the sunroof works fine, I replaced that fuse anyway, just to be sure.

Re: Instrument panel lights MIA
Absolutely not. I've been fiddling with the dimmer switch along with everything else, trying to get this fixed. That question seems like the equivalent of an IT professional's first question being "did you try turning your computer off and then back on again?" I'd love it if it were that e...

Re: Instrument panel lights MIA
Whoops, I jumped the gun on some of this. Apparently the AC switch lights and the stereo light are fine. What aren't fine are the speedometer/other meter lights and the light behind my digital readout and things like that. When I turn the switch on for those lights, they don't work, but it STILL tur...

Instrument panel lights MIA
Hi folks! Yesterday, my dashboard went completely dark. Warning lamps still show for a moment when I start the car, so they aren't affected. My little digital readout (mileage, etc.) still works, I just can't see it at night anymore! ALL of my other front panel lights are completely gone- the lights...

Re: '94 850 Turbo. Timing Belt- checking?
Okay, so I'm relatively convinced that premium octane will be the best for me, last question on that note is this: Do I top it off with premium as I go along? I don't normally wait until my tank is near empty to fill up. Should I do that in this case so I don't mix premium with mostly regular, or is...
