I think Mehka01 was talking about the horizontal screw plug on the pan, which comes on the pan and with the OEM pan should remain sealed...

How long should I let the anaerobic gasket maker sit once my pan is bolted back onto the engine? I'm eager to fill it up again so I can check for leaks. When ...

Recently my alarm module went out. I went and pulled 5 siren units at the junkyard and only found one with a good PCB, everything else had bad corrosion on the boards. The one in my own vehicle had a mostly good board except for one corner where the PCB mask was corroding off. This is such a bad ...

reading your first post again, theres nothing to indicate any problems with the turbo but guessing.
I can't hear my turbo either but I know it gives boost by using a $12 ELM 327 on my phone.
I would want to read fuel pressure under load too.


I'm having similar concerns about my wagon's power ...

It wouldn't surprise me if A LOT of these are prematurely junked due to the transmissions. And it's impressive how effective the repeated transmission drain+fill works. If only this was prescribed at 100k, 120k, or 150k, we'd probably see a ton more P2s on the road.

Just finished changing front control arms and ball joints on the 07 XC70. The factory originals (180k) were still working well but the bushings all showing visible signs of fatigue. The ball joint boots were cracked but not breached, the ball joints were only slightly loose. So the post-mortem is ...

Abscate has convinced me to keep my vehicle running till 300K. I brought the car out here to CA from MA at 220K and since then it's been a lot of highway miles to the mountains and parks. For me the car is a bit of a money pit but really comparing the interior quality and comforts to newer cars it's ...

Hit 250K the other day. Still chugging along.

Anyone have the part number for the rear license plate bracket? Mine is semi corroded and the plate bangs against the hatch whenever I slam the trunk
