I am completely heart broken seeing that magnificent E420 with a boo-boo. I have let 2, yes 2! of these tanks slip through my fingers in the last year or so. Never again, they were both early '90s 400Es and I WILL snap up the next one I see. I currently have an 87 560 SEC but there is something even...

Out of curiosity did you try and run a VM appliance from Linux? I also am a Linux freak and use Vida from a VmWare appliance that is preloaded with windows 7 and the full Vida software. Forgot where I got it but you just load it into VmWare and start. It also has Hilton tuning software built in. I c...

Hello, I am getting flashing green light on ECC and CCM-222 air distribution damper motor signal too high in VIDA, This IS the motor I need to be looking at right? There looks like another motor a bit lower and more towards the outside of the car, but I don't really want to extract it unless I need ...

Actually, I just received a return code from Amazon. Looks like no new brakes for a while. It is ok though, this car is turning into a driveway project, needs the parking brake fixed, air distribution damper motor replaced and calibrated. It is for sale btw, I can see this thing just nickel and dimi...

Just me again. Decided to do the front brakes this am before it gets too hot. Everything came apart fine. The brakes and rotors are actually ok, with Volvo pads etc, but since everything had to come off the back to do the parking brakes I figured what the heck. New rotor is on but I am pretty sure t...

I am also concerned that the cable may be at fault, it was 110 heat index yesterday so I stopped early.

Hello, my C70 failed inspection because of a non working parking brake. I bought new shoes, well, and everything else. New rotors, pads and hardware. This am I got as far as taking off the rear disk, but it is hung up on the lip of the rotor. I can't see any adjusters, and I know it is hanging up on...

This might end up being a trip to the dealer.

Thanks for the response. How did you adjust the damper manually? We don't really need defrost down here anytime of the year. I took the damper motor off this evening and installed the new one. It did turn fully one direction but then nothing else after that. Tested with VIDA and did not complete the...

Hello everyone, Double checking that I am doing the right one. 99 C70 LPT has both hot and cold air coming from the dash vents and hot air to the defrost while in auto mode. Nothing changes in any other position, except full defrost. I have never had heat or cold air coming from the floor. I am gett...
