Yeah, about that....

Just ordered parts for rear brakes. They needed it... bad.

 

Just replaced all, well most, of my switch bulbs. They've been out for a long time...

 

What are you changing on the rear brakes? Are you changing the parking brake mechanisms?

Did you change the bulbs on the shifter console? I want to change mine but it looks like a really tough job - removing most of the console...

 

The rear brake bads. They need them really bad. I'm under 2mm, so I flipped out on Monday really fast and ordered them from FCP that day. Parking brake stuff, nope. Although I should, my parking brake is really weak.

The bulbs on the shifter is fairly easy. I did a few of them with an LED swap about a year ago. The shifter is easy to get too. After you get your console out for the first time, it's a breeze. Don't freak out over it. A total of 8 or so torx screws and you're set.

 

Cool. I get it that you didn't turn the rotors, you just swapped the pads? How does that feel?

Also which pads did you get from FCP and are they squeaking? I have to change mine as well...one of the rears is toast, literally. I guess it has glazed, because it's still thick, it just doesn't brake at all.

 

Everything is coming in on Monday, so I'll know by then. I haven't really thought about turning the rotors. I just replaced the pads on my front ones a year or so ago, everything feels fine.

I ordered the Volvo OEM ones. I herd that OEM ones don't squeak if you put enough of the anti-sequel stuff on it.

 

Scary?

 

Is that your brake pad?

 

Yupp, rear brake pad.

 

LOL. Like living on the edge eh?

 

Actually no, I just forgot to look at them till last week.

I have a major vacuum leak from my EGR gasket, so that's what's been causing a funny reading on my car. Going to get a new one!

 

Put the EGR gasket back on, but now it's running normal, but after a quick throttle blip at idle the car nearly dies. Any ideas?

 

I got the EGR gasket fixed. Everything is running well, unless I blip the throttle at idle the car nearly dies. Any ideas?

 

Fixed all of that, but I still have a vacuum leak somewhere. for doing the PCV, where would be a good place to look? I've checked all my IC hoses, EGR is on tight. Would a lower injector o-ring cause this? I normally idle at 20-22 in/hg but now I'm 18-20 in/hg

 

Spray around all the hoses and see if the idle changes.Use Brake Clean.

 

Done that, so I don't think it's any part of the hoses. I've done it to every part, done it to every connection, etc. Could it be a part in the manifold? Didn't do one of the support bolts on the manifold, would that be it? It's a pretty damn small leak though, but it's annoying.

 

It could be alot of things recheck everything really closely.

 

Okay, time to take the fuel rail off again :/.
