Gearbox arrow light

The gearbox arrow light is flashing.

The codes coming up is 1-1-4 and 3-2-3.

Any ideas what this could be?

Re: Chinese close to buying Volvo

According to Swedish news it's official... Volvo is dead :(

We should never have sold it to America in the first place!

Re: A 850 without air bags?

The registration book from Dubai said that this vehicle was registered in December 1993.

I searched on pictures of Volvo 850 and found this

Re: A 850 without air bags?

Re: A 850 without air bags?

A 850 without air bags?

I bought an imported (Dubai) 850 GLT 1993 model yesterday. Today I looked trough the user manual and noticed that the manual said that the car is equipped with SRS. It should also be a marker on my dashboard. There is none... The steering wheel also look different.

What do you guys think after ...

Re: 850 GLT 1993 Automatic gear question

Thanks guys for the good and fast response.

The timing belt was changed when the car was at about 149 000 miles, so that shouldn't be a problem. I'm going to have my father and my brother with me when I'm going to look at this car and they know much more about cars than me so I hope they can see ...
