The only way I could get codes was to run the engine. When I just turned on the key it simply repeated the ID message. Also where is the oxygen sensor and the coolent temp sensor located on an EA81?

I can't find the code thing?!? I am looking in the engine compartment where they said it'd be on a carburated model, but I dont see it. What does it look like?

It comes on a minute or two after I roll down the road. Car runs fine, but I assume it means "engine check soon" or "emission control system" or somesuch. So what exactly is it? and how do I get it turned off? (I have an 84 GL Wagon 1800 non turbo.)

My 84 1800 OHV engine leaks oil from possibly the front seal and I think from the oil pump. It runs like 70PSI (at 2-3K RPM) even with the engine warm and the oil level low. So number one I am wondering how hard it is to fix the leaks? Also I am wondering is it worth it with the oil pressure so high? Will it just leak again? How do I relieve the over high pressure?

What is the most likely cause? We have ruled out a fuse.

Gee that answers my dilemma......NOT! Sorry but that is truly unhelpful..... I need to know if I can either save the caliper since it is functioning without leaks, or if I can rebuild the caliper at home, simple as that?!? BTW I know 30 year old American cars with still funtional rubber on their calipers so age is not always the issue. Design is.

I just got an 84 wagon (well will just soon be getting it) and it seems to need some brake help. I once tried to do the brakes in an 81 model, as if it was an american car and it was a disaster! The whole caliper was covered in rubber and it immediately cracked and leaked fluid and our only choice was to go to a shop and pay $300 for them to rebuild each caliper which they claimed was necessary on these cars every time you need to do the brakes. Is it really necessary to rebuild the caliper every time, and if so can I do it at home with somewhat limited tools? (What specifically do I need.) Or is there a way to do the brakes without damaging the delicate rubber housing.
