Re: troubleshooting engine cooling fan

Thanks to both of you for the info.

Lee, do you mean the red wire that goes into the relay?

troubleshooting engine cooling fan

I don't hear my auxiliary fan turning on anymore. Anyone know how to diagnose whether it's the fan itself or the relay that has failed?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Exhaust manifold upgrade - '95 850 turbo

Not yet -- but that's definitely on the "to do" list. The previous owner (who installed the intake, cat-back, and had the ECU reflashed) had to replace the downpipe because it had rusted through completely, but EuroSport Tuning (where he sourced the aforementioned parts) didn't have an upg...

Exhaust manifold upgrade - '95 850 turbo

I'm looking into eventually upgrading the exhaust manifold on my '95 T-5R (already have a cold air intake and cat-back exhaust upgrade, so the manifold is now a weak link in the chain). I've been looking into the Volvo "R" manifold that's found on the S60, but according to IPD it's backwar...

Re: '95 855 T-5R loss of power, thick exhaust, rough idle, e

Thanks for the diagnosis! Is there any kind of special clamp I can get to prevent this from happening again? I t...

'95 855 T-5R loss of power, thick exhaust, rough idle, et al

Tonight during an ill-advised flooring of the accelerator, there were some unpleasant noises, followed by immediate loss of power and a strong smell in the cabin. I was able to make the 10+ mile trip home without any catastrophic failures, but my car was doing some strange things the entire way... F...
