Mine does this when the car is cold for a few minutes into driving and its only at low to mid rpms. Turns out it's either the serp belt tensioner pulley or the idler pulley(one of the two for the belt). Check those as that's an easy fix.

I've had 9 or 10 Volvos now and can't imagine driving anything else except a Toyota truck or a Jeep. I'm always amazed at the community these great cars have created. Even if you get one that need repairs there's many forums that will happily help you out :wink:

I can't remember the name but you can buy it anywhere. Think you just dump it in and run it in your engine before an oil change. But check out Seafoam first, used it today for my lifter noise and it worked! Here's a thread at VS: http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php?showtopic=21120 HIghly recomm...

FYI heelstriker I paid $5300 for mine with 145K and that was a little high in my area. I've had the car less than a month and the things I've done is maintenance (filters, cap,rotor, plugs, timing belt, serp belt), a motor mount, and an endlink. I had the engine flushed too which was well worth it f...

My parents have 96 855 5-speed NA and it's only feels fast because of the manual tranny. I just recently got a 94 855 Turbo and the difference is amazing. Even as an automatic it can scream up hills and pass easy. The 850 turbos are usually trouble free if you can find one thats been taken care of. ...

Wheel bearings, or front axle maybe? Maybe raise the front end and spin the wheels and listen for any grinding noises and try to locate it.

Ok everyone I fixed my CD changer. This afternoon i removed the cover (7 little screws) and lubricated everything with silicone (gears,etc.) then drove around and it wouldn't play CD's 1-3. Well after some time I changed all the Cd's and it's working better now, a little slow reading but nonetheless...

Fixed E-02, now new problem!!!

Thanks Guest, I opened up the cd changer and realized that a cd was already in the player (from previous owner) so I removed and filled the cartridge with CD's. Now it won't pull the CD all the way into the player, it starts to but then puts it back and tries the next one, all six of them but doesn'...

My 94 855 Turbo has both OBD's. On the pssngr strut tower it say OBDII certified. I guess Volvo got excited and installed OBDII earlier than most other car makers. I haven't had to use either of mine but i was told my OBDII will only work for some but not all of the OBD features. So i'll have to fig...
