Re: Fuel Gauge Problems

Thanks. I wasn't able to locate a sending unit locally, that's why I tried to repair this one. I would like to swap one out, so I'll probably continue looking.

Fuel Gauge Problems

Hello All! I have a 1995 850 GLT sedan, non-turbo on which I am having a problem with the fuel gauge. The problem began as a very inaccurate fuel level reading on the gauge. I disassembled the sending unit and found that the float was about 1/4 filled with fuel. It seemed that there was seepage ...

Re: High-Pitch Whine on Right-Hand Side when Driving

No, I haven't tried that, but I was thinking about it today. In fact, I was going to jack the car up and look to see if there was a way I could get some gear oil or grease into the bearing, but it was raining so hard I decided against it for the time being.
Thanks.

Thanks! I'll check that out. I'm sure it is the support bearing.

Re: High-Pitch Whine on Right-Hand Side when Driving

Neil,
Thanks! I didn't see any problems with the dust shield, but I will recheck. My thoughts were the support bearing also, but I don't feel any play or anything abnormal with it. The noise does seem to be coming from the axle, but I don't want to replace the axle if it turns out that isn't the ...

Re: High-Pitch Whine on Right-Hand Side when Driving

The pitch gets higher when accelerating, lower when decelerating and doesn't change when turning. It is definitely a car noise, not an engine noise. I put the front of the car on jack stands and ran it in gear. Noise was coming from the right, and only while the right wheel was spinning. Never heard ...

High-Pitch Whine on Right-Hand Side when Driving

Hello All,
I have a 1995 850 GLT 4-door sedan. Been noticing a very high-pitched whine coming from the right-hand side of the car while driving. The best way to describe the sound is that it sounds like a Dremel Tool, or maybe a small air sander. It sounds like it's coming from the axle, but can't ...

inaccurate fuel gauge

A 1995 850 GLT, non-turbo, the fuel gauge is showing an inaccurate reading. The troubleshooting I have done thus far indicates a faulty fuel level sending unit. I would like to remove the sending unit from the tank, but I first wanted to look at some parts drawings to see what the sender looks like ...

Re: 850 engine pressure build-up

thanks, I am going to remove everything and recheck the oil return port in the block. Also read about replacing the vacuum line to the intake manifold with a 5/8-inch heater hose. Thinking about doing that.
