Cheers vtl, much appreciated. Which additive(s) do you recommend? Are they universal (synth/min) or should I be careful choosing one? Anything on Ebay.co.uk or Ebay.de I can order, from the US is more difficult. Oh and I'm confused, should I buy the OEM 1161540 or Mobil 3309 or are they otherwise id...

Just wondering if it's just the leaking injector or a damaged Cat and/or leaks in the exhaust manifold (i've read the bolts used for the exhaust can als...

Hej (Swedish for Hi 8) ) ( I'm Dutch and my English should be sufficient but when it comes to cars & technical info, my skills are a bit unproven so please forgive any mistakes or unnecessarily long sentences :lol: ) I owned a 2000 S60 (manual) for a year before upgrading to my current 2001 S60 ...
