Thanks for all the help. I'll give it a go without the new parts. The cars from Southern California so I've never had any problem with rust. I'm thinking it will be just fine.

Great! Thanks Lee. So I shouldn't worry too much about the other hardware that's a part of that kit?

Hi,

I have a 98' V70 turbo. My radiator has a slow leak in it. I had planned on changing it tommorow. I already have the radiator (Nissens) that I bought online. However, I purchased the o-rings/clamps/oil seal that go to the radiater a week ago from FCPgroton and they just sent them off yesterday ...

I finally had some time today to try and figure out what the problem was. I go to loosen the lugs before I jack it up and they're only finger tight. I had that tire changed out a couple of weeks ago and they forgot to torque them down. I'm both relieved and a bit peeved.

Thanks for the advice. Well, I looked at the FL mount by sticking my head under there and nothing looked amiss. I tried shaking everything I could (control arm, sway bar, and end link). Everything was tight. Since the control arm is relatively new (about 25,000 on it) I'm thinking it's the sway bar ...

Definitley not the spring seat. I guess it could be the contol arm or sway bar.

It's the engine cooling fan. It seems to try and come on for a second then stops. At times it keeps doing this. At other times it catches fine. I'm thinking its the fan itself, not a relay.

So today my car began making a clunking sound from the vicinity of the passenger side engine bay. Pretty sure it's not anything suspension related since it seems to only happens on take off and stopping.

I know its probably a bad mount. Could it be a bad transmission mount? Also, I know a certain ...

Something is going on with my fan. It cuts on and off at idle. I can also hear it try to come on. Is this most likely a relay problem or fan problem.

Yeah it was just the gage. It went close to one bar past 3 o'Clock. I freaked because I've never seen it go past center. All seems to be well now. It actually didn't do it again after that first incident but I went ahead and replaced the ECT anyway. Just drove it 60 miles to Palm springs (110 out ...
