Re: New to Volvos & Forum-possible clogged oil trap

to make sure I have this correct, If I pull one of the spark plug wires and it runs worse, I have low compression. I will try later today and get back to you.

Re: New to Volvos & Forum-possible clogged oil trap

I no how big the outside of the hole is, I was trying to figure out what it was in side the tube and does this go into the oil pan. I tried putting a metal wire through there to clean out and if this does go into the oil pan, I will have to take off and clean as recommended. I still can't believe ho...

Re: New to Volvos & Forum-possible clogged oil trap

Hey Jackelburn, I bought all the parts for the flame trap and have everything apart. Before putting everything back together, I had a quick question. The bottom hole that goes into the block was clogged, from what I have read this goes into the oil pan. First is this correct and second, how big is t...

Re: New to Volvos & Forum-possible clogged oil trap

There is no oil in in the coolant or coolant in oil. Is the RMS the oil trap. If not how hard is the RMS to fix. If the car was driven with a bad RMS could this cause any other problem such as the car starting etc.

I see no leaks anywhere. I drought the car home and parked it. I drove to the store the next day which is...
