headliner replacement

About 10 years ago i replaced the headliner on my 850 wagon. Someone on this site sent me a link to a very good video on how to do it.
I now want to do the same on my 95 T5-R, but i cannot locate the link. Anyone have it?

Re: Hood latch problem on 850

I could not reach the hood latch release by accessing it thru the turn signal. But what i was able to do is carefully remove the clips holding the lens on the headlight, then removing the lens. Then carefully prying out the reflector assembly. At this point i was able to remove the back cover (bulb ...

Hood latch problem on 850

I replaced the drivers side headlight on my 850. In doing so, i must have accidentally done something to the Hood latch assembly by the headlight. When i got done, i closed the hood but when i tried to open the hood today, neither side will release. Is there a way to access the cables from below, if...

Re: 1995 850 T5-R Stripped head bolt

I finally am replying with my update. In the early fall of 2016 i pulled the head, i got a helicoil kit. I double stacked two helicoils (i did not think 1 would hold). As i was torquing the head back down, i was scared to death the repaired threads would let go. But the threads held, and car is back...

Re: Engine code

After several searches for a vacuum leak with no results, i found it. The hose from the top of the oil trap to the intake of the turbo had come off at the turbo intake hose. It is down in an area where it is hard to see and it initially did not look like it was off. Fixed it and things are now much ...

Re: 850 Headlight wiring harness problems

I was going to try electrical tape but i was concerned about the temperature inside the headlight. In the summer it gets pretty hot in there, not sure how well the tape would hold up. The local Volvo repair guy (not the dealer) told me to go to the junkyard and get a headlight out of an S70, then re...

850 Headlight wiring harness problems

Volvo has had a lot of problems with the insulation deterioration on the wiring harness inside the 850 headlight. I have heard that volvo makes a retrofit kit for this problem but I cannot find out any info on this.
Does any one know of a Volvo retro kit or an after market kit by someone else?

Re: Engine code

Would not a vacuum leak result in too lean a mixture. Why would a vacuum leak result in a rich mixture? I have never seen a 2-3-2 code before on any Volvo i have owned over the years.

2-3-2- Long term fuel trim at limits at idle.

Engine code

My 1995 T5-R check engine light came on so i had it read at Advanced Auto, they said it was "bank 1 rich". I cannot figure out what that means. Also, for some reason my service light on the dashboard came on and is flashing. It comes on when it is due for service, but has never flashed bef...
