Re: Damaged Bolt on Top of Motor Mount

Their offerings include long torx tools.

It is possible to drill the bolt head to its very core using a long drill bit that has an outside diameter that is greater than the bolt head. The use of a gentle 1/2-inch chucked drill motor would improve that.

Re: Damaged Bolt on Top of Motor Mount

There may be enough space for a rounded bolt extractor to reach the motor mount bolt, but I can't be sure. According to some, though, they are compatible with allen head bolts. If the engine mount has rubber legs, you may need to remove them before it fits.

Re: Spark plug knowledge is essential

As I have a cat-detailed exhaust system, I use an unwired driver to keep the frequency valve set to 50% duty cycle, and the fuel pressure is checked and within specs. In addition, WUR is following all specifications. The engine starts and runs smoothly, but there is a hint of richness according to ...

Re: Spark plug knowledge is essential

Put them back in, clean them, and give them an Italian tune-up. But before you do that, double-check the fuel pressure and the duty cycle of the air-fuel ratio to ensure that the WUR is functioning properly.

Re: X5 wash pump for windshields

Your reply is really appreciated. I'm wondering what you utilized to avoid breaking what seem to be those clips, as they are identical to the ones holding. My car's flare strip is painted, not black, and if YouTube reviews are to be believed, it's prone to breaking.

X5 wash pump for windshields

So that I may replace my BMW's leaky plug-in play pump. To get that little component, I must remove the bumper, fender, and flares, among other things. I was wondering if anyone has ever gone to a body shop or a mechanic for this kind of work. I refuse to pay $260 per hour to have it fixed by a ...

Re: Drivetrain sensor pair 2

Verify the data stored in the battery management system (BMS). Displayed here are the "State of Charge" and the "Days in Service." The computer may be mishandling the alternator, causing a reported depletion, if the BMS indicates a 40% battery life while your charger indicates a 90% life.

Re: Drivetrain sensor pair 2

Towards the top/inner side of the valve cover region on the driver-side cylinder head is where you'll find Bank 2 Intake (CMP21).
The Bank 2 Exhaust (CMP22) is situated on the cylinder head on the driver's side, either lower or further out from the intake sensor.


Warning: Take the Bank 2 ...

Re: Choices for a New D5 Engine

A Chinese firm called Zhejiang Geely Holding Group owns Volvo. They oversee the assembly of Volvo passenger cars. This gives Volvo the freedom to pursue its own design and engineering goals in Sweden. It might be the end of the line if diesel manufacturing is considered a money loser by Geely. Being ...
