I just dropped it off at the crusher yard and got my check. I guess that makes me one of the sane west coast Volvo people. With the cash I could get a '97 but the dash board plastics may be about to crack like potato chips. Could an industrial 3-D printer print a new one?

Since the car will be crushed immediately, I was wondering is there are some accessories that people would want to buy on eBay. I was thinking maybe the front grill, the OEM radio w power antenna, sun visors, the Volvo name that's on the trunk. What do you think? The car has to be drive-able and mus...

The State of California has approved to pay me $1500 to drive my 1993 Volvo 850 to a dismantler to be scrapped. The car runs good because I've worked on it for 12 years. Mileage is around 137K. The dash board's old brittle plastics all started cracking, rattling, popping, creaking really bad. Speake...

My 1993 850 left front end is making a creaking sound. Hear it when driving slow and strait. It might be a coincidence but I noticed the issue after I jacked up the right side high for a couple days. Does something need greasing or replacing?

No replies? I guess that since most 850s have now been crushed, nobody is left here to remember how to fix them? I found a split hose connecting to the front of the rollover valve located between the fender and the fuel filter at the rear right side of the car. It's a 4" rubber piece. I bought ...

My 1993 Volvo 850 non-turbo failed the California emissions test: Visual inspection passed. Emissions test passed. Functional (evap) test Failed. The technician pinched off the hose just before the charcoal canister and put pressure into the fuel tank. It didn't hold enough pressure to pass. Where a...

Use a little Dremel cutting wheel and cut a straight slot across the head of the screw. Remove the screws with a straight standard slot screwdriver.

I replaced the rubber ends on the small vacuum hoses using pieces from a roll of vacuum tubing that I had sitting around. I cut the bad rubber off carefully with a razor blade and pressed on new ends. Also replaced the vacuum tree and o-ring. Runs good now. Vacuum tubing package says 5/32 x 6ft (4mm...

I had similar surging and rough idle on my 1993.. I replaced the rubber ends on the small vacuum hoses using pieces from a roll of 5/32 vacuum tubing that I had sitting around. I replaced the intake manifold gasket, the PCV hoses, the vacuum tree, the brake booster hose etc. Removing the intake mani...

The entire problem was vacuum leaks. Nothing to do with the MAF or re-manufactured MAF. I replaced the rubber ends on the small vacuum hoses using pieces from a roll of 5/32 vacuum tubing that I had sitting around. I replaced the intake manifold gasket, the PCV hoses, the vacuum tree, the brake boos...
