Damn near all cars are safe today so that is a bit out the window as well.
Car is sort of a beater, anytime something goes wrong its a grand unless you can do it yourself AND have the time.
I...
I was just told to go in at the air filter
Going to look at it this afternoon
HA!
Only a parent of young children would know what that is.
Its to keep little savages from messing up the backs of the front seats with their little feets
I bought the parts from FCP Groton
How many hours labor for the camshaft seals AND timing belt and water pump?
Going on 5 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I dont think they went about it correctly.......................talking about lining up the timing again?
How the hell did it get out of...
These cars eat WAY too many bulbs
I drove that Dakota for 15 years and the only bulb (other than A, ONE, 1 headlight) I ever replaced was a rear tailight and that was due to my screw up wiring the...
I use a 6 foot pipe on a 1/2" breaker bar
One hand no strain
Got the kit from FCP Groton

Water pump, seals etc.
Car needs the camshaft seals,...
Thanks
Im in SE Mass and will have a friend who owns a garage do the job.
What is the JRL mod?
Can a pipe be installed in place of the resonator?
My resonator is shot and rather than put a new one in I would prefer to have it sound the way it sounds now.
How about emissions?
Overall yes but these cars eat bulbs like someone with halitosis eats tic tacs
Why replace the water pump?
Ours is at the shop now.
Had an exhaust/emissions issue fixed and the timing belt is being done tommorrow.
Car has 125,000 on it and the belt has never been changed....
It was the brake booster for ours.[cussing]
THANKS Bill!
Has anyone tried to do this in their driveway?
Is it difficult to impossible for a backyard mechanic?
Probably right MoeB, I guess I am afraid of what I might find out. We have been happy with the car until it needs work.
A brake booster, ignition antenna and a MAF in one year is a bit much.
Using Mann oil filters.
I am afraid to send it out for testing. What are they going to tell me anywayt, I need a re-build? At 85,000 miles it had better not need anything but gas and oil
Nothing like that, more like broken down paper, maybe from the element?
I cant make it stick to a magnet and it isnt abrasive. :confused:
I do have a K&N filter, I wonder if that could be the...
Do you have any gunk/stuff in the filter housing when doing the oil change? I have some stuff in there and it isnt magnetic and it is not abrasive :confused:
I used Marvel Mystery oil in my truck and havent heard the lifters since. That was 150,000 miles ago [thumbup]
A pint at an oil change ,use Dino oil for this because......, run the oil like that...
No way!
I cant stand to part with that truck. $268.00 at Tasca Volvo yesterday. Antenna ring and labor :mad:
I bet is shows in the VADIS DVD how to do that job, I think I would be wise to purchase...
Nope, there are just too many issues with these cars. My truck is 13 years old and I havent dont anything but a radiator, water pump and a starter.
THe XC has (in the last year) had
A MAF unit
