FIXED!!! So I couldn't get the oil cooler/trans cooler lines disconnected and didn't want to force it, so I did it while everything was still in the car. I cleaned the intercooler tank, scuffed it up and used quikstik plastic epoxy putty to seal the cracks. I then added a nice thick coat of jb weld ...

I'm already working on getting it out so I can get it fully cleaned out. The upside down mounting bolts for the radiator are spinning freely, and 2 metal brackets fell out on each side of the radiator once I loosed up the 4 corners. And the bottom transmission cooling line appears to be stuck in the...

I followed the turbo hose from the back of the engine all the way down to the front of the car. Forgive my ignorance, but the intercooler is a radiator looking device, filled with oil? There is a plastic tank down there with a 6" crack in it, and there is oil all over where the crack is. Would ...

Just checked that, the hose is securely attached at the back of the engine, and front. Still looking for a cracked hose or something, for sure.

Edit: my dog had taken the intake piece listed above into the yard. Reattached everything and pulled the codes PO351, 352, 353, 354, and 355. Looks...

Assuming the throttle body is kaput, what would the options be? I've looked at contactless upgrades, rebuild kits, and the 2 options offered by Xemodex (mail in repair, or pre programmed). What about getting a used ETM off ebay, junkyards, etc? Do they have to be programmed, or can I slap one in and...

Hello everyone, I'm battling an issue on my mother's car, a 99 S70 with the 2.4T engine, roughly 90,xxx miles. For years the idle has been up and down, anywhere from 800-1300 rpm at a standstill, poor mileage, etc etc. Just recently the car has gone into limp mode. I believe its limp mode, car stall...
