Re: High NOx fails emissions but no codes - 1997 850 R

Yes a good point Abscate. The NoX limit changed from 1.5 to 2.0. Perhaps the limit was set wrong for a car of it's age first time around. Would not be the first time an inspector did not know the rules for vehicle age related values. Either way, take the win and now thanks to the doctor's attention...

Re: High NOx fails emissions but no codes - 1997 850 R

Great to hear! Obviously the CO is good, but the others are approaching the limit.... is that about normal, or are they borderline? I'm not from an emissions testing state, so I don't have any idea what is typical. I wish I had my OG 850 T-5 emissions printout for comparison. I looked for it in my ...

Re: How do I retrieve the correct mileage on 1996 850

OK - I've looked everywhere and this seems the best place to ask. I have replaced my odometer gears and am trying to reset the mechanical wheels to the actual mileage. I bought an EPROM reader to download the 93S56 memory contents from the instrument cluster which should contain the actual mileage ...

Re: Anyone have a pair of 850 oxygen sensors?

Gary I went through the boxes but didn't find them. Thanks for all the parts either way. There's tons of good stuff in the lot. I remember seeing them when I boxed everything up. The small box they are in is red, I think and not the original box. I am pretty sure they are there somewhere, but findi...

Re: Anyone have a pair of 850 oxygen sensors?

Used/known-working or new. Looking for a low cost way to attack the failing emissions NOx problem with this new 850. Will pay. Matt, Did you not find the ones that came off of my 1994 850 Turbo before I retired it? They were used for 2 years on that car and were working. They are in a smaller box i...

Re: I got a 1997 850 R today

Is that one of the original OBD scan usb tools from that guy in Texas? Dan something? It's a home built unit, I don't know the origin though. obd1.jpg If you're talking about this thing, it's my take on the device in this thread : https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=60660&h...

Matt,
Take a look in the spare tire compartment. There is a 17" tire on a rim. Can't recall what it looked like, I never had to use the spare.

Re: I got a 1997 850 R today

I paid $5K for the car in 2013 with about 120K on the clock. There were 4 black steel wheels on it then so I bought a couple sets of used Volvo wheels so I could swap snows without the tire store.
