Re: Turbo Oil Cooler Line(s) - Is aftermarket safe?

And the REST of the story -- bad news --
1. one of my "homemade with hydraulic hose and clamps" turbo oil line started leaking/weeping within a few months. So much for Southern Engineering. At least this time the removal went much faster - I had some time and a spare car, so pulled them off and ...

Re: Same Problem after head gasket replacement...

Same problem with my wife's 1998 S70 Turbo, B5254T motor, 158K miles. Bubbling in expansion tank and continuing overheating problem after radiator broke and had to be replaced. No water or "mayonnaise" in the oil (and no oil in the coolant) but it's using coolant, and engine stumbles for a second on ...

Re: Cylinder Head Replacement

DJM850, You ARE DA MAN . Extremely clear, concise, well-written, informative, and the pics are great. About to (Texan: "fixin' to") do this same job myself, so this thread is great for me. Kudos also to Cattledog and Ozark Lee. Glad to see a guy OC enough to get the parts clean before re-install ...

Re: Turbo Oil Cooler Line(s) - Is aftermarket safe?

I'm going to post here.
I've just spent the better part of a day and a half replacing a defective brand new Dorman hose that leaked (weeped) oil out of BOTH hydraulic crimps. Not a happy camper. Not at all.
I paid $90+ for it and broke the bank to pay a mechanic to put it on. Didn't have time to do ...

Re: PTC Question

Sorry, forgot to mention that I had found that the tubing coming from the PTC device was also either completely clogged or almost so. Had to use small copper wiring with solvent to ream out the smaller tube, and of course the gun cleaning kit to clean the larger one. Don't forget to check those as ...

Re: PTC Question

My 1st Posting - this site is worth it's weight in gold. These threads have literally saved me at least a couple of grand on my wife's S70, and I'm going to contribute. I've gotten to the point where if I can't do the repair myself, I print out the pics and threads on the repair in question, and ...
