83 244, Stalls when put into gear

Hello Group,

I have '83 244 GL non-turbo. LH 2.0 Chrysler Ignition. The car stalled on me a few months ago, and knowing the fuel pumps had never been replaced, I replaced both fuel pumps and filter. Now the car will start after some cranking, and run fine at high idle. When I slow the engine to low ...

Re: Replacing thermostat

Thank you. The intake manifold means a new gasket and torque wrench. Through the looking glass and down the rabbit hole I step.

Replacing thermostat

Hello,
For a 2008 V70 3.2, can somebody please provide a basic description of replacing a thermostat? I'm mainly interested in how many engine parts need to be removed to gain access to the thermostat assembly. Are we talking about any special tools or removing the serp belt?

Thanks for any ...

Oil change service bulletin

Hello,
I just got back from my mechanic. I was asking him about the reed bearing, and he told me there was a service bulletin on the V70 advising how to change the oil and filter. Something about how the oil filter chamber needs to drain first, before the draining the oil from the pan under the car ...

Hi Martyrl, I have the same problem. Did you jumper the wires to make the problem go away?

Re: 2008 V70 FOB receiver not working after time

Well, I double checked the tire inflation and added air to one of the tires. By gosh, the whole problem of the FOB receiver went away. It's as if the car was punishing us for having an under-inflated tire. Now happy wife and happy life.

Thanks Jimmy, Where is the receiver located? and is this a DIY fix for a novice mechanic?

2008 V70 FOB receiver not working after time

Hello,

We have a strange problem. I found a similar problem on the forum for S80 but there was no resolution.
Our FOB will not unlock the car after a short period of time. After driving the car, we can lock and unlock successfully using the FOB, but after an hour or so the receiver refuses to ...

Hey guys, my 95 850 T Wagon sometimes will not shift out of part after starting the engine. I shut off the engine and wiggle the key while trying to shift out of park. This works, then I start the car while it's in neutral.

Is this the micro switch thing?

I just completed this tailgate strut repair on my '95 850 T Wagon (120K miles). Piece of cake. I got the struts from fcpgroton on ebay (seller id: foreigncarpartsonline ) for about $40/pair. Saved many many $ compared to dealer. The part number is 250055279738 .

Here's a photo of one whole strut ...
