Clean with the butterfly SHUT or leave it plugged in and get Mrs Turbo to...

Hi

Ok, so I've been out and changed the radiator coolant with some lovely fresh stuff from Volvo. At less than £10 for 2 litres it was cheaper than Halfords stuff. For those who know how to do...

Happy days went to my car this evening and by surprise without even disconnecting battery the ECU has noticed fault has been rectified and removed warning light happy days :)

Hi all,

As you are aware there have been some mod changes over the past week and different people involved in the running of the site and forum.

The reason for this is that due to work...

Thats how my Box was after the fluid got hot despite a fluid change. But as andy says do a oil change to be on the safe side.

the 4th gear 'lock up' point is around 60mph, A quick guess is that when you are driving it around 60mph, the gearbox is switching lock up on, then you drop 'outside' the lock ups tolerance so the...

Got it that time, don't own an auto myself but the father in law's lexus rx300 does that tho.

Enough can't be said for the pros of regular oil changes preventative maintainence at its best if you ask me..

I am confident what you describe is normal, to the point that I'd film the behaviour...

Sounds like the torque converter is draining itself for some reason, then having to fill back up when you give it big licks. Not that clued up on auto's too be honest, but a torque converter works by...

Aaaah, tow bar! lol I thought he was going for 30psi! :hilarious

try just replacing the recirc' with the blanking plate and no dump valve.
sounds better than dump valve imo, guarentee you'll love it.

I assume you will have just a 'W' button, and no sports/economy switch, and so would have the newer Adaptive box, which came with the ME7's, anything other than a proper flush (easy to do yourself,...

I got my one way from Halfrauds & it cost a couple of quid.
