A: How frequently should spark plugs be changed? What would be the best
choice? There has been a lot of contradictory info about using Bosch
Platinum in 850 so I am thinking I should go with the ones provided by a
Volvo dealer or can I use bosch 4+.

I have narrowed some of my 780 v6 hard start problem down to the
in-tank fuel pump. It doesn't seem to be working at all. When I
removed the cover plate in the trunk I see what looks like a large
round top that looks like it is screwed in. It doesn't have any nuts

Hey all -
I've got a 2001 S60 2.4T with 115k miles on it.  It was involved in a pretty
nice accident 7 months ago (hit a curb head on at about 20 mph).
Needless to say there was $10k worth of damage (mostly to the underside of

Hi, I would appreciate all the help I can get in understanding these high
intensity headlights that are being hawked all over the place for
replacement to the high and low beams and in some cases, offered in color. I
would like to put more light on the road for safety's sake but I ...

My driver's seat is falling apart. Does anyone know if the rails the
seats are mounted on are of proprietary type and at a proprietary
distance from each other? In other words, are there any other car

the climate control is set to vent [only after I spin to 4 and back to 0

Greetings All,
   I am in the process of putting a 94 850 w- 4 speed Auto and 2.4L engine
on the road. I had a few questions I am hopping you might help with.
1: The shift knob won't move out of park unless I press the little override

How does one access and read codes for this car?  Is a tool needed and what
model is it?  Any help wpuld be greatly appreciated.

'Cause I'm driving a lot of highway, I would like to  decrease my rounds
par minutes.
I'm driving a B230 engine with a m47 (5speed) and a 3.73 rear axis.
Now I was wondering what I should change to decrease my RPM.

I started to do this myself however, unless I am wrong you
have to remove all the turbo pipes to get to the plugs.
I afraid I might damage them so I will probably let the dealer
do it. Am I missing some easier way?

LS,
I'm thinking about buying my first car and I found a volvo 66 ('80).
Can you tell me about your experiences? What are common defects on
this car after 24 years? What kind of things need some attention

Has anyone of there in the aether been able to do this with out taking their
car to a Volvo dealer?
If so, what did you use?  Where did you get the software?
Or, is it not a doable thing?

I have a 1988 780 (v6) with the famous intermittent start problem. I
have changed both the fuel injector relay and the radio suppression
relay with no effect. The car usually starts right up in the morning
but once you drive it it has to sit awhile.

My Volvo has been giving me trouble when starting up after short
periods of standing time.  I don't have problems after the car has
been sitting for quite a while (usually at least 1 hour):  It starts
up just fine, and I have no trouble shifting into gear.  Everything's
