Re: 96 850 n/a issues

Oil level is normal. What does the condition of the spark plugs have to do with this? It is not running rough.
What is a leak down test?

Re: 96 850 n/a issues

I have the exact same issue. Parked the car one night, the next day it makes the same noise as in the video by volvo_96.
Does anybody have any ideas what it could be?

Re: 1993 Volvo 850 a lot of problems

You might have major engine work.
Broken or belt valves if you timing belt broke while driving.

850 turbo 1996 Light on trip computer

Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
What do I have to do to change the bulb in the trip computer?
Do I have to remove the cluster?

Re: 850 turbo 1996 vibration damper guard

There is plate that wraps around the bottom of the crankshaft.
It is held in place by two 10mm bolts.
I had to remove this to get my belt off.
The end of the two bolts are very close to the timing belt.
About 1/16 of an inch. Is this normal. I guess I am worried that the end of the bolt might scrape ...

850 turbo 1996 No lights with driver door open

When I open the driver door, the driver door light doesn't come on. If I try any other door it works. Is there a switch in the door that turns on the lights when I open the door?

Re: 850 turbo 1996 vibration damper guard

The bolts that hold the vibration guard in place.
THe bolts only have a bit of threads.

Re: 850 turbo 1996 vibration damper guard

I guess nobody noticed how close these bolts are to the timing belt!
