Everything PCV related was completely clear, nothing was blocked. I suspect its the seal around the dipstick tube and ordered a new one. Meanwhile the steering rack has started leaking from the boot on the drivers side. If stop leak doesn't fix it then I'm getting rid of this car. Replacing the rack ...

Hello all. My car has developed a nasty oil leak and it appears to be coming from the front of the oil pan near the dipstick tube. I had to use some of that oil dye to track it down. Oil was all over the pan and was blown back to the frame and even got on the timing belt (which I plan to change ...

My drivers side door lock started buzzing and trying to fight me sometimes while locking or simply opening the door. All signs point to the lock module needing replaced. I don't feel like spending the money on a used module and trying to wrestle this one out of the door. Plus I only have one key for ...

Ah that makes sense for the length of the hose, I'll see if the battery has a place to connect it. I never knew some batteries even had them. Thanks.

Now to get to the other end you can either take the exhaust apart along with the rear suspension. I have decided the hell with that and just cut an ...

When looking at the DTCs in VIDA will the yellow dotted code trigger a check engine light or will only the red ones? My car is going to need an inspection soon and I'd hate to fail because the check engine light says my sunroof motor is faulty and the radio antenna is unplugged.

How about installing a real oil pressure gauge to monitor whats happening?

For some reason on the S80 Volvo decided to put the charcoal canister in the least accessible place possible. No way was I taking the exhaust apart along with the suspension. One does not simply take apart exhaust pipes in places where they salt the roads. I had just enough room to reach up with my ...
