It sounds like a couple of guys have figured out how to fix the stalling problem...check that thread again. Something about a fuel relay and some other things. Also, go visit your local district attorney (or the district attorney in the town you bought the car from). This mechanic has pulled a fast ...

Dash temp readout

How do I change the temp reading in my dash from Centigrade to Fahrenheit? This is the digital readout under the speedo that has the time and the temp. I have a 1993 850 GLT.

thanks

fenders

So fenders/bumpers from 1995 should fit my 1993 then. But a 1996 or 1998 won't?

thanks for the help.

Water pressure

Your post reminded me of a little known fact concerning any type of coolant leak, whether it is a blown head gasket, a leaking fitting, a hole in your radiator, etc... Unless you live in a hot climate this should work just fine but keep your eye on the temp and the water level... Take the pressure o...

1993 850 GLT

I have the 1993 that comes with 4 lug wheels. Which other years of Volvos are compatable with mine when it comes to engine parts, exterior parts and interior parts?

thanks

850 Turbo Head Gasket

How hard is it to fix a blown head gasket on an 850 turbo, 1994, I think?

I tried to search 'head gasket' and got the entire forum as a return. Sorry, I guess I haven't figured out how to do a proper search yet.

thanks

Yup, it is the same Volvo

Yes, I found it on Craigslist. hmm, then again, I was following two white Volvos that had their airbags deployed so I guess this might not be the same one. What did you find out that made you not purchase it?

thanks for all the advice.

Turbo...

Thanks for all the info! I would have bought a turbo if I had found as good a deal. I picked this car up for $1500 because a woman had to sell it quickly because she was moving. The body is great from 5 feet back and the interior is in excellent shape and she just had a bunch of deferred maintainanc...

I am new to Volvos...updated with a couple more questions.

My name is Houston, I live in the S.F. Bay Area and I just purchased a 1993 850 GLT. Although my mother has been driving Volvos ever since the early '80s, when she gave up on Audis, I am know very little about them. (I normally drive a 1972 Datsun 240z with engine and suspension mods...but I needed ...
