I was having a similar problem on my 9-3 Linear. I just replaced the right HID bulb which would go out or otherwise flicker when driving. It...

I have exactly the same problem as u described, i stopped today by my house, and opened the hood and i felt some strange smell coming somewhere under...

Oil keeps changing. For example, Mobil 1 0W-40 after about 2017 is not the same as 2017 and before. It's similar. For example, Mobil 1 0W-40 meets...

Did you resolve the issue? I had a look at the pipe on my 93 , and found on the underneath of the pipe its part number 4960118. Dave 2 93s :)

The handbook for the 2007 9-5 says the following: Approved engine oils: All gasoline engines - Fully synthetic engine oil - approved against the...

Before you even consider the cylinder head, replace the pressure cap on the coolant expansion bottle. If the coolant isn't under pressure it will...

No... that sounds like a fuel problem though. Have you checked the fuel filter? Is your "mechanic" able to do some proper diagnostics? Any update...

that Rislone Head Gasket Repair may work or at least buy some time. If you are lucky, may get several years. (Had a cooling system that kept...

^ ..... Thanks for the informative tips......replaced with new thermostat and temp sensor.......carried out coolant refill/bleed process......both...

Thank you. It was frustrating not knowing if I could use the A5/B5. The owner's manual doesn't say anything about it just to use fully synthetic oil....

It's fairly easy to check the temperature sensor's resistance. If it was working prior, may not be an issue but I'd replace it if taking too long...

Thanks for the very informative comments, Dave, will give it a go to see if it sorts the bubbling coolant.....

The problem is that some of the API specifications don't actually require that an oil is synthetic so it may meet the spec but be semi-synth so it...

Well that’s correct Geoff. I went on the assumption that everybody uses synthetic these days.

I had a set of power folding mirrors for my previous car, indeed I fitted them, however the folding circuit is simple but strange. I wanted to...

So, true Dave. New cars are a nightmare! My 1990 Mazda 626 is a gem as they seemed to use one type of wiring loom for all variants and options like...

Except that it would be as well to stick with fully synthetic oil.

It is possible, I know of one person who had a new windscreen earlier this year in the SE of England.

A5/B5 is almost arguably better than A3/B3/B4. ACEA is Europe’s version of the API, albeit with stricter requirements. You will notice that most...

Hi After quite a while of over thinking things, such as temp sensor resistances, checking the water pump, thermostat and re-reading the link I...

very helpfull indeed Dave. Thanks a million!

Greetings Justin Had a chuckle at your last sentence. I've had a few too, and even when I'm sober, I agree . The 93 is one of the nicest cars...

Hi Just had a look at mine (as I've got two wheels off at the moment). I would say Bolts "A" are the original ones. The cones are non removable...
