Re: Open water edition xc70

It's 1 of 500, so I don't know if that keeps the price up.

Re: Boost Gauge Install

I installed my boost gauge in the lower hvac vent on my 850. I was able to T off the factory boost gauge line, and splice into the dimmer switch. I wanted to remain "stealthy", and not have it on the pillar. Easy to remove, and the only part I cut was the diffuser for the vent. I have a fe...

Did you remove the upper engine brace to get the engine/trans to lift up? How was the re install of the pan?

Dave, did you drop the subframe or work from the top? I'd really like to avoid dropping the subframe if I can.

Re: Volvo 850 S2 Transmission Solenoid Replacement w/Pics

Great write up, has me wanting to tackle my 'noids. Haha!
My 94 wagon is approaching the 200k Mark, and the lockup solenoid seems to not work. Rpm's stay close to 3k on the highway at 70. Where under the cover is the lockup noid, or does one of the others pull double duty?

Re: 1995 850T How many miles does your 850 have?

1994 855
189xxx miles just did head gasket, New rad, small things that needed attention. Hope to have rectified the PO's deception and lack of maintaining these cars. Still need a fuel filter change, and looking for the xc70 caliper mounts to do big brakes. Body is solid but needs paint.

Re: 93 to 97 850 head interchange

Got the head off and home. Broke a 3/8 breaker bar and a ratchet on the head bolts. :x good part is, someone had come and taken off the exhaust manifold! Yay! Car seemed to be well taken care of mechanically, showed 210k on the odo with miles showing on the trip odo, so I will assume correct mileage...
