Volvo 1997 850 Engine Noise While Key in Start

The key is in the start position (engine NOT running) - sounds like some sort of motor is running. Appears to be coming from passenger side of radiator area. I have attached a video documenting the sound. Any idea? It doesn't seem to turn off when the engine is started. Thanks for your help! http://...

97 850 Brake Caliper Bracket - Broken

Was doing a brake job, and it looks like this one has been broken for quite some time. http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r46/jahpinner/Volvo%20Fuel%20Fil...

Re: Broken Fuel Line Connector at Fuel Pump

Just went through this...not very fun. (But not too tough.) You can not simply replace the quick release connector at the fuel pump. The fuel line is shrunk wrapped on the connector, and you can't buy the connector separately. There is a method to replacing the line with parts/line from the local au...

Re: Fuel Filter Connections '97 850 Base

There are about 110k on this 850. Odometer went out about 15k miles ago, so that's a guesstimate. Need to buy the odometer gear replacement from IPDusa. :) This particular filter looks like it had never been changed, so it was way past due. If I remember correctly, a fuel filter should be changed ou...

Okey Dokey. Thanks for the advice. Looks like I'll be going over to the Volvo dealer. Can't seem to find the gas line online anywhere. Thanks again!

Re: '97 850 Rough in 'Drive'

Update to this issue: I replaced the lower transmission mount - the rubbing sound decreased dramatically. Replaced the Upper Engine Mount - Rubbing has nearly faded away. Just replaced the Right Side Engine Mount today - No more rubbing sounds at all. This was definitely a mount issue - lower transm...

Re: Fuel Filter Connections '97 850 Base

Also - Do you think that one could use an adhesive to glue / super glue that orange O-ring back into place to fix this issue...? Just a thought.
