Re: '94 850 N/A 5 speed for parts or repair
Since no one seems to be interested, I will consider parting it out. If anyone wants anything, let me know.

'94 850 N/A 5 speed for parts or repair (Now parting out)
I have a '94 850 that needs an engine. Car has around 300,000 miles on it. Trans shifted pretty good and the clutch still worked fine, but do not know how many miles are on it. Car has many newer suspension components on it like shocks/struts, stabilizer links, pass. control arm, driver outer tie ro...

Re: V70 '98 Front Passenger Wheel growl on left turn
Sounds like it could be the drive axle. Check the boots for tears and leaking grease.

Re: Weird brake noises/feel
I had something similar - the noise seemed worse when coming to a slow stop on a downward incline after the brakes were fully wamed - in my case, it was the shims on the rear pads that were installed upside down. I cleaned and regreased the backing plates and shims, and the sound went away. The Vol...

Re: what kind of mileage can a Volvo do? What's yours?
'94 850 5 speed with about 305,000 miles. 27-30 mpg and it is driven hard. It sometimes goes about 2-3 quarts low on oil because of the rms leak and never complains
Hopefully should be getting that fixed soon.

Weird brake noises/feel
I have been hearing this weird noise when braking while getting off of the highway. It does not happen all the time and is only when slowing down from highway speeds(60+ mph). The noise/feeling is almost like a grinding noise that I kinda feel in the pedal. I am not sure how else to describe this. I...

How to check engine mounts
I am getting a random clunking noise from the front end every once and a while, just a single clunk, not multiple. I think it usually happens when I let my foot off of the gas, press the gas, or hit a bump. There is a lot of new front end components on my car like new struts, spring seats, strut mou...

Re: Engine oil for 97 850 T5
I switched our 850 to synthetic at 175k miles. 17k miles later and no problems. I use Shell Rotella synthetic 5w40 every 5k miles. Whatever oil you choose, make sure it has a diesel rating and not API 'energy conserving' label. They don't screw around too much with these oils. I've been considering...

Re: Dead AC on '94 850
Have the pressure checked. If there is no refrigerant, the compressor is not going to turn on.

Re: Volvo Parts - beware the prices!
Sometimes the dealer will be cheaper. I needed an outer tie rod and the prices were either the same or more expensive at the parts store than the dealer.
