Re: Help and or feedback & wonder if I should sell this car

Keep it!!
If you have changed the O sensors and cleaned the PCV system, then you have a bad Cat converter. It happens to my 1995 850 GLT. Buy a new one at FP Groton and after installed clean codes.
Here at this forum there is a lot of great people eager to help you.

The most worrying thing for me is the coolant overflow at the expansion tank and the car some times runs rough . The expansion thank has the green cap bought from Volvo. The radiator ...

Piston rings

This morning I took it to the mechanic and he did a compression test and got 120-90-95-90-90 readings and told me it is due to worn piston rings and recommended to use a ticker oil like a 20-50 grade and deal with it for a while.

These are not good news and I want to get suggestions or ...

Does the 1995 Volvo 850 GLT Non-turbo has PTC valve? If yes where is it located?
Thanks
