Curious about longevity of zip-ties, even the ones rated for heat. Oetiker clamps ftw : )

Like most connector in this car, it has a tab that locks it in place iirc. It needs to be pressed while unplugging it. I suggest to use a telescopic mirror to find the lock-tab.

I'm in the middle of changing out the PCV system on my (`98 V70xc AMT), and will replace the Oil Cooling lines, Radiator Hoses, seals on the Trans lines, etc.... I got the O'rings and hardware for all the lines to the radiator, but when I removed the lower Trans Oil return hose from the Radiator, the metal elbow that goes into the crimp fitting on the hose appears to rotate in the crimp fitting, quite easily. I do not see any major leaks around this area - so I was wondering if this was normal?

If not normal, is there a good place to get a replacement? (FCP and IPD did not seem to list the Trans Cooler lines for ordering.....Drivewire, Partsgeek - show them available - or dealership?)
Thanks

I replaced that in my GLT using refurbed lines with correct 3/8" US-Made ATF hose with no issue.
I can use your old cooler lines for cores as I refurb them.
Let me know if I can interest you with a swap - your old (engine) cooler lines for a refurb lower AT cooler lines.

I have a '94 855 T. The engine wiring harness has been hacked up a bit......

I've come into possession of a '96 854R parts car that is more or less complete.

I'm pretty sure that there are a couple of differences in the harnesses such as the VSS,

but does anyone know if there are any major issues that I should take into account before I swap the harnesses?

Thanks,

Bill

94 get the speedo signal from (auto) tranny, 96 gets it from ABS wire
94 tranny has speed sensor at the back of the (AT) trans, 96 AT doesn't
94 has DTC reader, 96 doesn't
btw, I had a 94 855T with both DTC and OBDII

I'd say it might not work.
