VOLVO 960 LUXURY SEDAN WITH COMPLAINS.

I thank you very much Mr Robert Ludwick and Mr jbowers for your quick response to my complains on the volvo 960.
Iam directing this mail specifically to Mr jbowers and others who still want to assist me.
Immediately I bought the vehicle,(April 2005),I took it to a mechanic garage for through examination, we changed the fuel filter,we put fresh engine oil,the mechanics
examined the spark plugs;it was then we first discovered that two of the spark plugs were wet internally;I bought new set of six spark plugs and fix them;the
two plugs became wet again.
THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD: By design the exhaust pipe is divided into three sections;it is the middle colomn that is terribly overheated and becomes red-hot;actually a mechanic came and removed the middle section of the silencer,he
opened it up and remove the carbonised net matrix inside it and close it up again.Since then, the overheating had subsided, but the exhaust pipe is generating horrible and irritating noise now.
Please,do I need to replace the exhaust pipe completely? Please, advise me.
THE ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE:The oil leak becomes visible immediately you stop the car from moving.About five litres of oil is wasted every four days.Please help
me to solve the problems.Thanks.
