Good to hear it helped :)

Thank you, really appreciate that!

Sorry to say the car is gone, it kept breaking down every single month and was draining me financially and mentally 😂 Didn't seem to gain much traction here either so I cut my losses

That's a shame...I'm gonna treat myself to a 220 sport for Christmas...what problems did it give you?

@@roderickjones7479 220 sport will be mint. The 220 engine in my wifes is bulletproof. The main issues were either bushes (heavy engine up front) but I kept getting fuel pressure issues. Changed high pressure fuel pump, regulator, all lines etc and couldn't pinpoint the issue sadly. But I think that was engine specific being the 270. You'll be fine with a 220!

@Enginesetc cheers dude... When I eventually buy 🙄it I'll let you know how I get on.

You tried the trick I mentioned here dude? Backing bolts out and revving? Persistence, soaking with penetrant, revving, twisting etc it will be possible man just keep at it!!

There was no error, so why does it need to be? Car is still driving fine to this day on 130k miles now 🫡

I knew what I meant 👀😂

Thank you matey

I am short

Think it was just straight Phillips, either way, got it out 🫡

Thanks man, I really appreciate that :)

Thank you! I don't sorry, should be able to find online somewhere perhaps?

Thanks for the kind comment!

Have to make sure it's the right colour with the correct options etc so I just grabbed this one whilst I was at the scrap yard getting other bits, it probably owed me £5 each mirror 🫡

Thanks for the kind comment :)

Thanks, glad it helped

Hi, sadly not sure it was my friends bike and a few years ago now! you ordered it from overseas? It should have invoice in the box I'm sure!

@@Enginesetc yeaah from overseas 😄 thank you for fast response

Yes sometimes it can take that long! Especially if the car has been run recently you can wait 15 minutes and it should measure after this time

Thank you! Yeah carb cleaner is a very good idea, works well!

Main reason I bought the car 😎

Yes I have heard this but thanks for letting me know 🙂 I agree IS350 would be better (and not slow like this) however, sadly, in the UK we didn't get any IS350's! Import ones float around but they're around 14k, so only a few grand off an ISF!

I'm gonna watch out for symptoms of carbon buildup also

@@Enginesetc@Enginesetc Having an IS250 with 225,000kms, it actually isn't that bad so long as quality fuel and oil was used during its life. I cleaned the values, and while it wasn't the easiest thing (The values are in the middle of the engine) opposed to a I4 or I6, there wasn't anything alarming considering the kilometres.

@@georgekallely7103 I hope it was before me, it seems to have been taken care of and I'm servicing it soon with good quality parts as I always try to! Thanks for the info on your higher mileage example, this is on 120,000 miles so i'm hoping all is good. No symptoms of buildup yet so I will keep on top of it :)

@@Enginesetc picked my 2012 is350 f sport for £9k

Yes sadly, as much as I loved it, it was giving me headaches to the tune of a few hundred quid every single month. Spent more time fixing it than driving it, would have another example (probably petrol) in a heartbeat. I remember you saying you had the CLK and F22 at the same time I think, what made you decide to get rid of CLK?

I would have kept the CLK as there were no issues, but the F22 wasn't selling. F22 was a cat s that I bought and repaired, but after some weeks of not selling I then put the clk on aswell , see what one went first !!

@@arnietwo11 ah fair enough mate, one had to go and it was the CLK, sad but least you're hopefully enjoying the BMW??

Thank you matey!

Will be scrapped in a couple of months

@@Th3Rabb1t like your CZcams channel

@@Th3Rabb1t 🥱

Hi, yes I've tried it in cold weather (living in the UK) and its never given me an issue. It shouldn't do anyway as it's electric? The only guns I could see having an issue in colder weather would be gas guns but you can get around that anyway with different gas etc. Honestly buy one of these if you want it, they're great great guns

Hello, the trim is just painted satin black (was faded so repainted), I think the thing making it look slightly blue is the lighting/camera settings, sorry to disappoint! Thanks for confirming the XC70 is the same arm :)

Thank you very much for the kind works! Sounds like you're going to have a few new toys soon, enjoy :)

I think you can try wiggling it, using penetrating fluid and keep trying the trick I showed (backing out the bolts a tiny bit and revving the car!) just keep trying man eventually it will come loose!

I'm glad I could help and thank you for commenting, comments like yours really make me feel like I'm helping people ❤

Good luck!

Hello, Most exhaust systems will have an O2 (oxygen) sensor to monitor combustion etc in the exhaust system somewhere. If you are having issues try scanning the codes first and a good scanner will point to which sensor it is :)

How so?

Thanks Peter, that's great advice, I've pinned your comment now to hopefully help others!

Not on this car I'm afraid, should be fairly straightforward I imagine

Thanks!

I think so too!

No problems, glad I could help!

Thanks Peter, much appreciated!

Is it going up to over halfway? I would recommend changing it and making sure all air is out of the system just to rule it out as a cheap option

I had issues in the past with it being very dirty and sticking so I was just checking and preventatively cleaning and thought I would video it :)

Nice man, good tactic!

@@Enginesetc Thanks!!!😊

Sorry I'm not 100% on the pinout for the connectors!

Hi Edward, I would take the dipstick tube off and see if you can recover it from that end, if not you may have to remove the sump and pull it out the bottom. If it was a tiny bit of plastic I would maybe be tempted to just use it and live with it, but a good portion of the dipstick I would absolutely want to remove.

@@Enginesetc thank you very much brother🙏🏽

@@edwardmieres no problem, good luck mate!

Thank you!

Thank you! I'm sure the correct procedure will be for it to be flat and up on a ramp etc for optimal draining. I'm sure there might be a tiny bit of oil that gets missed and pools because I lift it like this, do I think it matters? No not really when I swap the oil and filter every 10k miles or year, whichever comes first :)

I agree just the pulley would be fine, however I thought best to change both for the relatively small cost and on a 126k mileage car thought might as well to give peace of mind 😀

Sadly I did do this job but off camera as it was chucking it down when I tried! I ended up using this video as guidance and cutting the backing plate so I didnt have to remove lots of stuff!: czcams.com/video/BW9pxfnmkpc/video.html

The digital speed? I believe it's so if you drive abroad you always have MPH on the dial and KMH in digital. I have both so it is the same

@@Enginesetcyes the one thing i like about mercs is the digital speedo but in my w203 its in kph ahhhh lol

Yes whereas my CLK had a big digital speedo in MPH right in the middle haha was good! @@user-fi5cj4vi6i

I'll be totally honest I cannot remember unfortunately mate at this point. These volvos always have the alarm service module, its a module in the wheel well that basically the battery dies or leaks or fails some other way and then it usually throws this message. You can get a new module for few hundred £ to replace or just put up with the message. Sometimes if the circuit board shorts however it CAN cause a drain as it pulls electricity due to the short.

The red plug at the bottom of the rad I assume? That is a coolant drain hole, yours might need tightening or new plug/gasket

Oh. thanx! Yeah, I had to redo the cork. It was plugged with a 22mm diameter metal plug and sealant@@Enginesetc

@@artinstroukeprod ah good to hear you got it sorted :)
