I have a 1997 Volvo 850. I'm having a continuing exhaust leak at the catalytic converter - muffler connection. The converter was replaced because of a PO429 code and that problem was solved.A new clamp was used and the muffler pipe was still in good shape with no deformation or was not too rusty. No...

Thanks Ozark Lee

Luckily, I doubt it's any of the costly items you mentioned. I get the noise all the time the key is in the on position, even when the engine isn't running. I'll check out the atmospheric pressure sensor in the morning,

Thanks for the responses. I have replaced the secondary air pump and valve about 10K ago. At first I thought it had gone bad again, but on inspection its good. Also wrong side as mentioned, but I double checked to be sure it wasn't coming from the pump ( sounded similar). Any other components on the...

The part is not expensive (less than $100), but the job takes about 8 hours. You have to remove the steering wheel and airb...

The best(and most reasonable) mechanic in Princeton area is Art's Garage. He has recently relocated to Ewing. He has been my mechanic for the last 10 years. The phone number is 609-530-1499. As the responder above recommended get the timing belt checked ASAP. The $4500 cost for a new head is very re...
