    I've had that too - more on the overnight than on driving. I was convinced it was my memory seats all out of whack - still haven't adjusted them and "memorized" them since I bought the car.

    Just wanted to share a quick story about plugs.

    A few weeks ago, I installed new Bosch plugs from my preferred online Euro car parts place that guaranteed the plugs to fit. (I'm not bashing them,...

    Ok, thanks! I've seen the step in some tutorials and it was missing from some so I figured I'd throw it out there.

  9. Looking at an 04 XC90 after having an 01 XC70

    Looked at an '04 XC90 (104K miles) today and really liked it. A couple of things I noticed involved oil leakage/seepage around the rubber tube atop of the turbo and at the radiator (at and below #1...

    My display often high 20s - even low 30s - on the highway. I take it with a grain of salt. It really depends on your driving style and whether you're in a lot of stop-go traffic. I also have a HD TCV...

    Is it a delay? Or a hesitation? Happen in certain gears? At certain speeds? Uphill? Downhill? Are you sure you're not pressing the pedal too slow? My '01 likes deliberate accelerator input.

    I can only assume they were unrelated - I'm the second owner. Could have been the stop-neutral software that did the original transmission in.

    Mobil ATF 3309 or Toyota Type T-IV is all I've been using. It's red.

    Maybe there's a purple syn ATF that meets the 3309 specs, but I don't know.
