Re: 1996, 850 rear bumper Wanted *BLACK*

Call Voluparts in Atlanta. 888-280-4057. talk to Terry. They seem to know a lot about inter-changeable Volvo parts. Not out to rape you in the $$$ department.

re:ignition switch

Hi Bill, I just had to tell you that I replaced the electrical part of the ignition switch as well as the key part. As I was toggling around with the key it literally came out of socket in all positions without too much tugging. Total cost of parts was $123 and about 2 hours labor. The hardest part ...

Re: Crap, broke the hose on top of the IAC-Where to get replmnt?

Hi, Interesting that we both live in Tallahassee, Fl. I have just discovered/used this site/forum in the past few weeks. They are very, very user friendly and can communicate in layman's terms that I, a self proclaimed novice, can understand and navigate the advice. For your own information, there i...

Re: cowl replacement '89 760 wagon

I made a mistake. It came from a 960. But you described the original on my 760 and the replacement perfectly. They are both exactly the same.
My bad...sorry.
And not to be argumentative, but my 760 wagon has drain holes on both sides.

cowl replacement '89 760 wagon

Hi Bill, I broke the cowl, the plastic shield that covers the mechanisms of the windshield wiper assembly. The salvage yard sent me an exact duplicate from a '97 850. The only thing that is different is there are no pre-molded/drilled holes that accept the little screws that hold those little chrome...

Parts dealers

I, too, discovered Voluparts on line. And , as other poster mentioned, you have to call them in person. They had the parts that I needed and were extremely, almost without asking, versed in the short cuts that would help me with my fix-em-up. I believe they are out of Atlanta, Ga. Terry and Bill are...

Re: wipers

Hi Bill, Damned if you weren't spot on with the jiggling of the ignition key. I didn't realize that there was so much slop in it. It seems that moving it in and out causes the intermittancy. I guess the thing to do, without major work and expense, is to pay attention and keep it in check while opera...

Re: wipers

wipers

1989 760 turbo wagon...car set up for 3 or 4 years. Got most every thing that didn't work back to operational level except for front wipers, (back one works) and a/c blower motor. Blue a/c light, whether in or out flashes continuously. Freon level is ok. Auto gets cold but no source of out put can b...
