My 850 died...what's next?

Hi together, Well after a few month having a blown head gasket and some other issues with my 850 turbo I have to say that she was biting the dust last Tuesday. I made it back safe and sound on the back of a towing truck and my first 850 is standing back home at my lot now. I decided not to throw any...

Re: Oh no...Head Gasket?

Yes, I replaced the thermostat with a genuie one 4 months ago in January. I just wonder where all the fluid goes? I dont have any signs where it goes. It is not under the car, not in the oil so where else could it be?

Re: New front brakes / now crazy vibrations

All right. After dissesambling the front right brake around 10 times I can now solve the mystery. It was the right REAR brake. The pads there where completly worn which caused all the noise and vibrations. Took me so long to figure that out cause all the trouble started right after I replaced the fr...

Re: New front brakes / now crazy vibrations

Ok, I'm back in town.

I installed new brake pads (Wagner ThermoQuite) but still have the same issue. So the search continuous. Next step is replacing the rotor and check if this is the faulty part.

Re: New front brakes / now crazy vibrations

Did you brushed the surface of the hub with steel brush and sand paper to remove ALL rust from it before you installed new rotors? Did you greased sliding pins? No, didn't clean all the parts but everything looked not to dirty and the rotor fitted proper on the mount. Will work on this when I'm bac...

Re: New front brakes / now crazy vibrations

yeah might be the case. I think I'll return the brake pads tmw and exchange them against the next better ones from duralast. Amazon for some reason screwed the return process up and sends me now instead of new pads new rotors :(

Re: New front brakes / now crazy vibrations

Hi Guys, Thank you so much for the feedback so far. Yesterday night I checked everything again. So far no loose bolts or missing parts. I reassembled everything and went back on an empty parking lot for a test drive. Same thing. This time I tried to listen where it comes from. Here are my observatio...
