Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Finally got tires for the Thors I picked up.

I know there's a few here running these wheels, what did you do for the center caps? My old ones won't swap over on the front.

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

I understand what you mean. Maybe keep an eye out for another one in better shape. Even if it is the wrong color you could cut off the mounts and glue them to your original one. Neil. I bought one in better shape (externally it was in two pieces instead of 4), and the mounts are worse ironically. U...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Going further down my odometer/speedometer diagnosis and looks like my harness ends at the speed sensor are gone. Are the speed sensors polarized?

Re: ABS system work fixed my odometer but not my speedo

Seems to have been fixed by using better quality contact cleaner for the instrument cluster harness connector, one that removes oxidation and not just contaminants. Hopefully this helps someone.

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Finally got more bulbs for my instrument cluster. I'm not sure if this is normal or not but I have quite a few squares that don't turn on even with known good bulbs. Does this look normal?

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Had my engine and trans mounts done at a local Volvo specialist. Feels great but unfortunately can't fully enjoy it as now the car doesn't start with the key. Checked the usual suspects but the shop and I are both stumped. I'll be relaxing a little before making a full post.

Re: 98 850 T-5 no crank with key

I would assume my spec is closer to EU than US as I have the glass headlights. Best guess is it is a 1997 production euro spec. Is there a good way to tell? Issue resolved by cleaning the PNP switch harness. Slowed down to take things one step at a time and re-check everything after my initial frust...

Re: Another is it fuel relay or something else post. Fuel pump hose?

That's an interesting tip. I don't like throwing things away so I think what I'll do is:

Pull the fuel pump assembly since it's basically free, check the strainer and hose (Been wanting to do this to test and clean the float anyway)
Observe
Buy a fuel pressure gauge
Re-cap the fuel pump relay

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

The OEM clamps are the style of the top one, those shouldnt loosen but as you said, it's free so might as well check clamps/hose before spending money. I'm using a non factory pump and E85 which isnt helping things; the hose that came with the pump was too short, the supposedly submersible hose i b...
