Re: 1999 S70 T5 - Need help finding a catalytic converter

For this I would get a new OEM cat that works for your state EMS. Junk yard ones can have problems or they may save you some time until they go bad also. I say check with Mathews sponcer sites first then maybe FCP Euro parts. Just make sure that the new part is OEM so that they will fit and work for...

As for the reflector inside has any one ever tried to use chrome paint or to electrostatic a new lair of Alumnae or some other metal that c...

Re: 98 v70GLT Front Caliper toast? Leak when depressing...

In changing the brake pistons, (calipers) I have had some luck in just filling them with a hand oil pump. Then bleeding the rest of the air out. In pumping the pedal I have heard that it can cause more problems because the end of the slide is now corroded because of lack of use. If you do know how o...

Re: 93 850 glt Air box caught on fire while driving.

No, I only had a paper air filter.

I am wondering if the injectors could have been leaking some or putting too much gas in the intake could have caused this? (just mind storming here)

Re: 93 850 glt Air box caught on fire while driving.

Sad to say it is the top half that is partly melted and the tubing that goes to the intake is melted. I am wondering if the injectors could be damage or were leaking to cause this. As of now i am looking at a new or used upper box, mass air meter and the tubing to the intake. Maybe the injectors too...

1993 850 Sun roof is leaking.

Is their a way to adjust the rails so the sun roof can have a tighter seal?
I hope so for my next move may be to seal the sun roof with caulking.
