I have an 850 GLT has 180,000 miles on it. I love the performance of
the car and hopefully will keep for long since I use only synthetic
oils. My problem are the cold starts in the morning, I thought it was
the battery and it wasn't. I noticed though that after the car has

I have cleaned the flame trap as best i could. It still seems t be blowing
oil. The oil seems to be dripping off the first manifold stud. Now does that
mean something terminal?
Thanks

Anyone know of a source to order replacement window glass?  Kids smashed the
rear quarter panel of the driver's side rear seat of our 1987 760T wagon.
If I ever get it running I'd like to replace the window...

I was wondering if anyone here knows whether this engine allows the removal
/ blanking of the EGR valve without problems ?
Thanks,

I just sold my 94 850 turbo wagon at 230K miles last Wednesday.  It
was a great car, but I won't be buying a new one, due to lack of
affordable service documentation and DTC information..
(I sent my full set of service manuals away with the car.)

As above... how much / how long would it take to change the belt on the V70
Tdi or for a Volvo dealer / specialist to do it, and approx cost of parts
needed  if it is something I could do with my tools ( I don't have any
special Volvo tools if any needed for this job) ?

I parked my '95 850 wagon at about 2am last night and when I go to
start it now, I get nothing. My first thought was that I had left a
light on and run down the battery, but all of lights (interior,
exterior, console, etc) and the cd player are working fine. I'm now

I am looking for a used wagon, came across a 1993 960 at the
local Volvo dealer.
It's a one owner car with around 150K miles, all servicing done at
dealer. They told me their service department recently messed

I'm six months into owning a 1998 XC-70 with 176,000km on it which manifests
two similar driveline behaviours:
1)  At a stop with foot on brake for more than a few minutes, I can almost
always get a minor "bump", which feels as if someone has tapped me from

Hi there !  The coolant level indicator lamp came on in my 2000 V70 T5, I
pulled over and looked at the coolant level on the expansion reservoir and
found it ok, looked at my temperature gauge and was ok, so I kept driving
and keeping an eye on the gauges.  I took a look at the ...

My friend has an 86 740 Turbo wagon with a 230FT engine but the turbo
and engine are hooped.  I went and pulled an 230F engine and computer
out of an 89 740.  The harnesses to the computer are the same, just the
computer partnumbers are different of course. The engine starts and

How can I test the TPS in B230F with LH2.2 ??

I just got my 1987 740 back from the mechanic after about 4 months. I
am able to finally drive it after putting new bearings on the
crankshaft, replacing the fuel injector seals and changing the front
and rear seals.

I know some parts are interchangeable, so I priced rebuilt alternators
at AutoZone and places like FCP Groton.
Seems the standard price is about $140 + core. I priced 1987 chevys and
they came to about $70 - roughly half.
