Re: '96 850 Radio Questions

Re: '96 850 Radio Questions

Definitely check out Crutchfield. I have done lots of cars with them and they give you everything. Correct fitting components, adapters so you don't have to cut original harness, instructions, kits when necessary, free lifetime help etc. Once on a 240 I was getting a buzzing from a RCA to line out p...

Re: CV Axles

Pull the axles and repair the CV boots, do NOT replace the axles with any of those parts. CV boot repair runs about $15 per CV in parts but requires some time investment to DIY. While you have the axles out, replacing the seal to the transmission is a good preventive measure and costs another $10/si...

Re: CV Axles

The other point of failure on the axles are the inner bearings. If those go, the car doesn't make that clacking sound thru corners, but will vibrate under accelleration. Volvo original axles are sturdy so hold onto those if not worn out.

Re: '02 V70 ETM

Your turbo 2002 has the P2 Bosch Throttle Body which does not suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous Italian ETM misfortune.

See the ETM ROOM forum in the main site link if you want the gory details

Re: '02 V70 ETM

'02 was the last of the Magnetti Marelli throttles if non turbo.

The turbo cars were exempted with the Bosch throttle by 2002.

Re: Distributor Cap

If you haven’t had an overheat incident, chance of a head gasket failure is almost nil.

Can you feel the misfire or are you just getting codes reported

Re: Volvo Findings! (What have you found on Craigslist?)

1998 Volvo V70XC in Boulder, CO. Looks very similar to my 850 mechanically (I really want to test drive this thing...). https://boulder.craigslist.org/cto/d/boulder-1998-volvo-v70xc/7167097653.html If I weren't a student with an 850 that runs pretty well, I'd probably buy this right now and fix it ...
