Re: EGR and Throttle Body Cleaning (Walkthrough)

Thanks. I'm a metric guy so that's good. Funny that there are some imperial bolts...

Getting ready to do this job soon as smog failed plus some new o2 sensors.

Re: EGR and Throttle Body Cleaning (Walkthrough)

Thanks - Fish stick88 - do you happen to remember the bolt sizes? I only have sockets and need to buy some wrenches for the job.

Re: EGR and Throttle Body Cleaning (Walkthrough)

Thanks for the great write up.

I'm looking at cleaning my wife's EGR. Failed smog. I was going to buy a new one but saw so many threads on cleaning. Also replacing o2 sensors.

Thanks, so you are saying in your opinion the price is too high for a daily driver?

Heat protection for wiring harness. Volvo 240

I found this as a possible solution for protecting a wiring harness from heat on a Volvo 240. Any thoughts? Any ideas on which size would suit? Thanks.

Volvo 242DL 1984 Coupe ~ approx idea of fair price?

I have no idea how much these are worth. The condition is really good ...

I pulled out the expansion tank to take a look and wiggled the Thermostat to Expansion Tank hose at the base of the tank. There was a crack on the neck of the expansion tank outlet just above the end of this hose and it came away in my ...
