One with a carburetor ;)
Ok, but how do you drive it differently?

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

I noticed a V70 at the local auction house. It's been awhile since they've had a P80. Steel rims, no sunroof, no turbo, but if the price is right, I may have my first estate/wagon. No idea on miles or running condition.

BlackBart wrote: 07 Sep 2026, 21:24 I didn’t start mine for quite a while and I had rattly valves for a while. I wonder if that’s the lifters bleeding down over time.
That's what I'm hoping. I've got several things to fix before I really get it on the road much.

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

I started my 850 for the first time in weeks. I needed to move is away from the garage door, so I could do some pressure washing of random items. I let it idle for a bit before I actually moved it, and it sounded like the valvetrain was rattling and didn't go away. My poor car felt awful. I need to ...

Re: PO172 97 850 NA

I didn't know Volvo used the 5 point bits. I think mine are Philips, but I haven't looked for awhile. I did have to buy a set of the 5 point "torx" bits for my Cadillac's MAF sensor.... only to pull it, to find an already pretty clean sensor. That was the first and only time I've ever run into them ...

Re: So fresh and so clean clean!

I degreased and pressure washed the top of my engine, and then vacuumed out the water with a shop vac, and blew it out with air. I didn't want any oily grit getting inside.
