suspension nuts, had it all to bits and re-tightened them , there is 2
nuts on the top, 1 locking one and another star shaped.still has
slight knocks when driving, dealer says he can replace both front

Sorry to those who thought I was going to wax lyrical about the performance
of these cars.......I'm not. What I find unbelievable is that this was the
last year they made the 850 and the glove box catch is still the same crap
that was on the 1992 models. Did the penny not drop at ...

I put in the "new" PS pump, got the belts tight, put on the new hose,
and filled the tank. Now it makes a whir noise, BUT it's not unlike
that of some other PS pumps Ive heard. But since I haven't had a good
PS pump in the thing (ever) and I haven't had a car with with PS

I am looking into  buying a Jetta TDI, about 2002 model.  (sorry there
is no volkswagon NG.....but you motorheads here will know).  I MIGHT
move out of town in another 1,2 or 3 years, and have to commute a long
distance each day---- or it might not happen.  If I just keep driving

In my effort to put together a second set of keys for a 2000 xc the dealer
doesn't seem to be able to get it to work.  My visit today ended with, "make
an appointment and we will have to do some diognostic work".  Has anyone
experienced difficulty with having a key programed?  I'm ...

I have an 85 245, and I'm hearing a whirring type sound, that seems to
be coming from the back. It's like the noise you hear when you're
downshifting, but it's not based on the clutch or gear-shift.
It seems to be worse when it's cold, and seems to be more based on the

I have an intermittent problem starting the old wagon. It has  120K+
miles.  It's the last of the rear drives.  Occasionally, the steering
column lock won't engage, precluding starting.  Movement of the wheel
eventually locks it, and it will sometimes start.  But then, on

As I was driving last night all of the dash warning lights began to pulsate
(Flicker dimly). The headlights seemed to fuction and the car runs and
drives OK. The car started up again after being turned off too. I am
guessing that it may be the alternator but thought I should ask for ...

Can anyone suggest a focus on this problem.
About once a month, my V40 will not start. It is as if the gearshift is not
fully in Park....you know, turn the key, and ....nothing!!
But the shifter is solidly in park. Not a battery thing, because it doesn't

So far, I've asked about my heater blower and my rear dif, and maybe
something else. I don't recall.
So now, I have a new question. I heard a noise in the back, and
figured it was a rear dif issue, so I asked here. And it was suggested

I have a S60R (and I love it!), however I have been dumb enough to put two
pens in the flip lid compartment which have jammed themself into the flip
lid recess section and now stop the lid from opening up completely and the
pens are not wanting to come out.

I'm moving the luggage fack from my 87 to the 93 940, The holes line up fine
but the sockets, threads from the  old car didnt come out in usable
condition.  What are these items called.  I refer to them as inserts but
none of the parts places I have contacted seem to have them.

This started last night. I think it may be the alternator but thought I'd
ask for some feedback. As I was driving, all of the dash warning lights
started to pulsate (flicker dimly). The headlights seem to funtion normally
and it starts OK. Runs and drives fine. So I drove home ...
