Appreciate the feedback. That's what I had heard. I'll be getting the Sachs/Boge OEM.

Bilsten TCs vs. Sachs/Boge(OEM) shocks

Planning on replacing my rear shocks soon (1996 850 R). I don't need a high performance shock, but I'm wondering if people could give opinions about Bilstein TCs versus replacing the OEM shock. It looks like they're about the same price, but how's the ride difference? Any other issues? Pros? Cons? T...

Crutchfield.com is also an excellent source for aftermarket radios. They give all mounting hardware free, include installation instructions, and provide lifetime support for the product. I recently pulled out my stock unit and it makes a world of difference!

Thanks for the offer to borrow the tool - I appreciate it! Yeah, Denver is a bit far from TN. That's what I feared - taking it to the dealer = $$. That's what's so great about my Indy Volvo guy. He doesn't charge for scanning unless they actually fix something. Here's what's really wierd: I was on m...

Okay - people at AutoZone were no help - they claimed that they could only scan when the "check engine" light is on. As far as the PNP switch goes, that's what I have suspected all along, but since there's no code being thrown, my mechanic doesn't want to needlessly install a new PNP switc...

Will do. It's odd that my Indy mechanic drove around for miles with the arrow flashing and the scanner plugged into the ODBII scoket, and no codes appeared. Stay tuned...

Flashing Arrow on dash, but no codes...

Any ideas? 1996 850 R with 120 K miles. Intermittent flashing arrow on dash (throws into limp home mode). Replaced the econ/sport switch, flushed the tranny. Still, the flashing light. I can get it to stop when I put it into sport mode. When my Indy mechanic scanned for codes, nothing came up. Any t...
