I'm going to be doing some work on the car really soon and I've got just a couple of things I could use help on.
1) The power steering reservoir needs to be replaced. Right now I've got a mix (bad, I know) of the Volvo fluid and Prestone fluid. I want to do a "flush" with ATF. Can I use Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF for the power steering? Is the "fill-as-you-drain method (while pump is running) best?
2) I've got a problem with a hose or the washer pump. The washer pump for the front works fine, however no fluid gets to the back. The whole assembly seems to be hard to get to; is there any way to have easier access to the washer system area so I can see what the problem might be? Currently when I hit the button, fluids dumps out and sprays around.
3) I'd like to replace most of the wire loom on various wires in the car. Almost all is still original; falling apart and cracked, exposing the wires to some really high temps. Where is the best place to buy some good quality high-temperature resistant wire loom at a reasonable cost?
Thank you all, these forums have been invaluable to me in my quest for better car maintenance knowledge!
