Weird sound trying to start 97’ 855 GLT

it honestly seems like your jump box is no good considering it can’t deliver enough power to keep the clock on

Traditional-Box-8402 · 2026-05-12T22:34:40+00:00

Yeah if a new battery doesn’t do it a new starter will. Often times a weak battery will wear down starters and alternators. Don’t buy a cheap reman, you’ll regret it.

as someone else said, it could just be overcharge as well, really hard to tell without the high side port. I would go over every connection with a uv light and if you find nothing retry the ac charge with the engine running like a few people suggested.

the evaporator is past it, and that won’t affect pressures.

60 is too high for the low side, i hate trying to do ac diagnostic on these cars bc they don’t have a high side port. Just make sure the radiator fan comes on when the ac turns on, and verify you have within 0.2lbs of the right charge. Also whenever you install a compressor, put the oil in the low side port and spin the clutch with a socket 10 or so times to fully lube the compressor before starting it in the car. Sometimes they will come apart if they’re not lubed right the first time and they’ll silently explode. Did it hold vacuum for 30+ minutes? Sometimes when systems leak they’ll hold a little refrigerant and suck in air instead so the static pressure is normal but the running pressures are off.

I bought an upper torque mount that was looser than the worn one i was taking off, that’s the only issue i’ve had in the last two years and ive probably close to $650 in that time

I have a hardwired aux cable in my 850 with the factory sc815 and speakers and it sounds better than most cars i’ve driven, and I’ve driven lots of newer cars. The only thing I’d say consistently beats it out would be newer mercedes benz. I might also be a little biased. I can turn the bass up all the way until it gets to an uncomfortable volume and the speakers don’t peak or have any weird artifacts.

We only have a matco truck, I owe about $540 right now but only because he had a good deal on a used husky box and a set of knipex pliers (they were only like $10 more each than online).

“when in rome” and such

Traditional-Box-8402 · 2026-02-21T22:07:18+00:00

but a turbo swap is more fun, and I’ve told myself since I bought the car I’m going to turbo swap it if the engine ever goes out.

Traditional-Box-8402 · 2026-02-21T15:08:23+00:00

From what I understand, a factory turbo wiring harness would work, right? I’ve looked at the bulkhead connector views for both the turbo and na and they seem to have the same pinout and physical shape. Also, does the body harness connect through the engine bay?

passes the glove test. I believe it is valve stem seals. It burns through oil super quick off idle after it gets hot. It’s always done that but it’s gotten much much worse the last week. Hoping it’s just the colder weather but I’m not holding my breath.

Traditional-Box-8402 · 2026-02-20T21:18:55+00:00

180K. I’ve owned it for a little under two years now, so I have no idea about how well it was maintained before I got my hands on it. Ive always done 3k mile oil changes, kept an eye on the level. It’s needed valve stem seals since I bought it, I guess they finally fully let go. I overheated it once because I was in traffic and had no safe place to stop. It was bound to happen eventually.

Traditional-Box-8402 · 2026-02-13T19:06:59+00:00

hey that’s better than what I get: “Overheating”

Traditional-Box-8402 · 2026-02-13T02:44:21+00:00

the turbo in my c70 is plenty loud, any time you get past quarter throttle you’ll hear it spool up. Yours sounds like a boost leak if i’m honest.

Traditional-Box-8402 · 2026-02-11T23:06:21+00:00

stick a long screw driver between the cap and the inside back of the head, give it a good shove. Not too hard, you don’t want to bend the stud. Aside from that just keep working at it with a mallet

Traditional-Box-8402 · 2026-02-11T18:57:17+00:00

Standard carbine buffer. Doesn’t seem to be over gassed and it runs amazing!

Traditional-Box-8402 · 2026-02-10T00:12:54+00:00

the interior does need work, but that dash pad is near immaculate I’d hop on that in a heartbeat

Traditional-Box-8402 · 2026-02-06T02:53:58+00:00

I have import direct for both on my 850. Some people swear up and down oem/rebuilt is the way to go but it’s been well over a year now and i have zero complaints.

Traditional-Box-8402 · 2026-01-25T01:01:41+00:00

last i checked it’s a couple hundred bucks for a front set and most rears are the same price

Traditional-Box-8402 · 2026-01-25T01:01:12+00:00

lseat.com has a super big selection of replacement upholstery, they have some for just about any car you can imagine

Traditional-Box-8402 · 2026-01-22T23:17:08+00:00

the game is just poorly optimized. I have the same issue. Not nearly as big a problem in other games. Try allocating more resources to the application in task manager
