Getting back to working on a "newer" Volvo!

It's been a long time....i thank all the help i had in the past for my son's old 95 850 turbo. It was a lot of fun and so much knowledge gained. But alas it's gone to volvo heaven. Hey almost 400k miles? You can't ask for more. He moved on to a 2004 Audi allroad. Yep, big mistake and an expensive ni...

Remote closing rear hatch

New model for me! In trying to figure out all my features and options for settings, one has me stumped! I can open the rear hatch from the drivers seat or with the remote but the only way i can close it is with the button on the hatch itself. Seems a bit backward to half to get out of vehicle every ...

Re: hard or no start-no codes found

pretty sure the temp gauge is normal. In fact it's the fastest warm up cycle of any car i've ever owned! you get heat in 10 deg. weather within a mile of leaving the house. So I'd wager the warm up cycle is normal. I'm going with my gut to electrics. Just for kicks I pulled the Fuel pump relay I fix...

Re: hard or no start-no codes found

good question! Unfortunatelty I'm going to have to rig up a test gauge that I can put into place quickly as is difficult to monitor this parameter when it occurs will my son working odd hours. ofcourse it will never exhibit to no start problem until you forget about it. Still (according to my son) t...

hard or no start-no codes found

Trouble with my son's 95 850 turbo. without warning it will fail to start. no codes found after scanning. fuel pump relay updated with hi temp caps about a year ago. sometimes will fire up immediately, other times will take 8-10 cycles (short crank tries to protect starter from overheating). sometim...

Re: Stalling without warning - 2004 V70 T5

Hi, I don't know if this will help at all 'cause I'm not familier with the V70 electrics. But.. my sons '95 850 turbo did the exact same thing & I finally traced it to the fuel pump relay. It's electronic related and the reason for failure was 2 Capacitors on the relay board itself were breaking...

95 850 turbo hood latch replacement

The drivers side has a 2 wire harness plugged into the electrical wiring and the replacement has none. assuming this is for some sort of hood open/close sensor, do i need thi...
