Yes, it can be broken easily if you don't restrain or lock the steering wheel in position. A rookie mistake.

I think you are on to something.....the shudder has a overtaxed drivetrain feel to it. I bought the car with about 35,000 miles on it. It has about 135,000 on it now. Is the filter a dealer only item? It is located where percisely? Filtering the gear oil?

P.S. I cleaned the injectors a couple weeks ago and it made things better, but did not have a decisive impact on the engine vibration.

That was my thought as well. No code setting and good performance / fuel economy I felt timing was not a direct issue, but the problem still remains. I tested the coil packs and replaced one before the timing belt along with the plugs. I do not feel this is an ignition problem. Not sure what to do.

I would not reccomend any of the above due to poor tread wear and spotty traction. Take a look at the Kelly Navigator Gold tire. I currently have it on my BMW 530xi and Audi A6. It is excellent. Very aggressive traction and wears well. No flatspot shimmy after sitting overnight like several of the b...

I have had a vibration in the car since I purchased it. Not too bad at first, but now with 130,000 and a new timing belt it is very noticeable. It is present as you slow to a stop and idle. If I put it in neutral it is the same. All ignition parts are fairly new. Made no difference. I found when i r...

It sounds like the 1-2 clutch pack is not engaging. You need to find out what your line pressure is at idle and when in gear. This would require a AT pressure gauge kit. The pressures are much higher than typical fuel line pressures, so there is a gauge kit made for this. Mine is a "Snap-On&quo...

Absolutely! i postponed due to things going on in life and did mine at 120,000 or so. I could have rapped the old one around twice! Don't wait!

Do a compression test on all cylinders and compare them, could have a damaged valve or cam lobe.

My 2002 S60 AWD mechanically has been very good. It has 125,000 on it. A MAP sensor, exhaust brackets, front/rear hubs, and a coil pack were replaced. The one thing I am unhappy about is the recent failure of my instrument cluster. I am fortunate to find a repair facility to repair it for 260.00 buc...
