I own a 1993 945 Turbo and ran across a nice used set of 17" S80 rims, known as the "Arakkis" with an offset of 49, riding on 225/50/17 rubber. I own a set of H&R 25mm spacers, so I'm wanting to know if these wheels/tires will fit on my 900 with the spacers.

Earlier today, as I was oogling a convertible Aston Martin, my 83 245T idiots lights came on, my voltage gauge dropped to just above the red, my oil pressure gauge also read low. When I revved the engine, the lights would go out, and occasionally everything would go back to normal. I could idle and the needle was in the center of the voltage gauge. Then it would happen again. I need to fix this ASAP, as this is my only car.

I'm thinking a bad ground or a shorted wire.

Or did I just get too close to a British car and take on their electrical issues?

Any ideas?

Thanks

Bled the mofo out of it and finally got what I thought was all of it, it was holding at the output line for the rear coming out of the ABS module.

Pedal feels good, not great, get her on the road, do a few hard stops, and the pedal goes limp.

Now, with the Volvo setup, the two front calipers are on one circuit, each with their own line coming out of the ABS unit. The rear are both on a circuit, with one line coming out of the ABS unit.

If I have the pedal held down and bleed the rear circuit at the ABS unit (at either the incoming or outgoing line), that circuit clears of pressure, and I can then bleed the front circuit at the ABS unit (at either the input line, or either output line). HOWEVER, if I bleed the front circuit first, the rear circuit maintains no pressure.

Is this a bad master, or is there another explanation? ]]> Tamnakz http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=258757 http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=258754&goto=newpost Thu, 17 May 2012 03:15:11 GMT I've purchased stuff from Swedish Iron at the IPD Garage Sale in the past, and want to get in touch with him before the sale this weekend.

So, I just finished swapping in a new engine and I'm stuck on where all the manifold vacuum hoses go. Is there a vacuum diagram for this engine available? Also, if any of you have photos of your engine compartment, that would be tremendously helpful.

For the record, the car is an 89 760 turbo.

I obtained an instrument cluster from a 1990 Volvo 240 that has the tachometer in it instead of the clock. Are there provisions in the wiring harness for the tachometer or am I going to have to fabricate something in order to use the Tachometer function. Since I have discovered that there are 2 empty holes to the right of the main cluster I assume one is for a clock but what is the other one for? Also are there provisions for these other two gauge's or clock.

I drove it to work this morning and everything was fine. I did notice there was a light on the dash that showed a "!" mark in a lightbuld like figure. I figured it was a warning light but it went away.

So fast forward 10 hours to the end of my shift. I'm in parking lot ready to go home and the car won't crank. It turns over and after sitting on the ignition it tries a little but never cranks. I got out messed with the plug wires giggled the fuel pump and relay tried several more times and I finally got it to crank.

Yesterday I did notice some odd noise coming from the fuel pump relay. I'm new to cars... would the fuel pump/relay sound like my problem or should I start somewhere else?

EDIT: After watching some videos online maybe it wasnt a fuel pump relay I was looking at. It was the thing that the distributor center wire runs to... the little relay next to that. ]]> Maximusfrisbee http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=258737 http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=258733&goto=newpost Wed, 16 May 2012 19:23:25 GMT My 85 240 wagon auto with 157k original miles started to idle high and pings like it has bad gas when you go up a hill.
