Thanks Christian http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1376821&rss=1 Sat, 3 Oct 2009 00:26 GMT Greetings: Just tried to recharge my ac.

Chrisian http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1355914&rss=1 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 23:54 GMT Greetings: I've got the squeaky blower motor on my 1996 850. I would like to get this fixed before MN Winter is back. I recall some posts about a new bearing working on existing motor, etc. Would you suggest rebuilding mine, buying used on ebay, or getting a new one? Also, how much trouble is it to install (time)? Thanks Christian http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1353006&rss=1 Mon, 8 Jun 2009 17:04 GMT Greetings: My driver side door seems to be extending farther than seems right, in fact it makes a metal crunch noise when it keeps opening beyond where it used to open. Any idea why the door does not "stop" at a fixed point anymore? Thanks Christian http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1330778&rss=1 Mon, 9 Feb 2009 21:38 GMT Greetings: Just replaced my thermostat and feeling almost cavalier, looking to my next repair on my 96 850 which I've only owned for about 7 months....looking for ideas from the group as to what would be most important to tackle next. 1-I have a very persistent oil leak, which I believe is the rear seal. I don't think this is a great DIY project for a car I need to dry everyday. However, I read so mu about cleaning the oil trap, would this be a good next project? 2-The timing belt is original, are there warning signs before it breaks? Would you change this out now? Basically, what would you fix next if you sort of had the time, but not the money? Thanks Christian Saint Paul http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1314497&rss=1 Mon, 17 Nov 2008 12:43 GMT My toggle has the mirror icon image. http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1313815&rss=1 Wed, 12 Nov 2008 20:33 GMT Greetings: Icy here in Saint Paul all of a sudden...my rear defrost works but the exterior door mounted mirrors are not defrosting. Should they? Was it an option or standard? Thanks a lot. Christian http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1313761&rss=1 Wed, 12 Nov 2008 17:11 GMT Greetings: My '96 850 (new to me, and I love it) seems like the cabin heater does not warm up as fast as I would expect. I've noticed also that the engine temp guage does not get above 30% or so whereas previous vehicles for me have alsways had the engine temp guage at 50% when the car is warmed up. Should I drain coolant? IS this simple? Any other ideas?

I've tried jamming items between the two but they fall in behind the steering wheel. Any ideas? Is there a simple way to remove the instrument cluster acrylic and line with foam or similar tape? Thanks. Christian http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1294824&rss=1 Sun, 10 Aug 2008 16:46 GMT J/k - no really does anyone know what is unique about the ocean race xc 70 and 90s? I know they were released w/ the round world race which used to tbe the Whitebread... http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1294526&rss=1 Fri, 8 Aug 2008 21:58 GMT Greetings: Curious what is unique about the ocean race model, seems like only 600 were made. Love my 850, but thinking newer wagon.. Christian. http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1294512&rss=1 Fri, 8 Aug 2008 20:23 GMT I've inserted the tool around the line and into the coupling as far as the tool can insert; at the same time I'm using a vice grip to try and wiggle the male end out. Does this seem right? I'm not hearing a clicking noise - the drier end spins freely in the quick connect fitting. Christian http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1293865&rss=1 Tue, 5 Aug 2008 16:27 GMT Greetings: I was curious if you might be able to help my figure out how to use the quick connect tool used on fuel and ac lines, namely between the drier and evaporator? I'm trying to remove the drier.
