What, I just look like a Hamtramcker? I'm actually currently in Southfield, near 8 Mile.

You are just asking for inappropriate responses when posting about a leak with a handle like priapism...

But I'll try to persist, for 6 hours or more.

Re: Wanted: Engine oil dipstick for 2002 XC70, pref in Detro

That's probably the same alternator I just put in, which seemed to solve a lot of other weird problems.

Swapped the injector that seemed to be the troubled one, and we're performing better than ever. Next, either the custom tentacles graphics OR the pushbars, not sure which. :)

Re: Wanted: Engine oil dipstick for 2002 XC70, pref in Detro

haha Now THAT is information I can use. ;)

Actually, that probably wouldn't do me wrong... I keep losing dumb little parts, like one of the blades from my headlamp wipers and ONE electrical retainer clip. I'm not real crazy about this steering wheel either...

Wanted: Engine oil dipstick for 2002 XC70, pref in Detroit

In the frenzied excitement of replacing the alternator on my XC, my friend snapped the plastic tab-top off my dipstick (which tab promptly fell into the otherdimensional portal everyone has between the bottom of your engine and your earth surface). It's still perfectly usable, stops where it's suppo...

Re: Brake failure message came on as well as the ABS light

I had this bundle of errors this past winter in my 2002 XC (except I don't remember my steering being harder). I also had some other random/strange errors/warnings like my brake lights being out, when they were not. A few weeks ago, I replaced the alternator, and have had no further mystery warnings...

Re: Replacement or Alternate Fuel Damper O-Ring?

Turns out, once we got the damper back in and pressure restored, it's no longer leaking. But this returns me to my original problem: failed fuel injector. Got any of those lying around? :)

Replacement or Alternate Fuel Damper O-Ring?

I have a 2002 XC70 that is leaking around the fuel damper. It wasn't leaking until my friend was swapping fuel injectors to see whether one of mine was bad. He says he didn't do anything to the damper at all, but now fuel is just pouring out around it. We thought maybe it was just time to replace th...
