Re: Drivers door power window switch repair

Very good, thank you. :D
Can I add... that some silicone spray on the window glass felt stuff tracks is a big help to keep the whole window machinery alive and un-stressed.

Re: 850 sunroof issue

Thats's great, thanks folks. I had a go at taking the glass out, looked as though the drivers side mechanism was dry and worn. The glass re-fit was challenging with the up and down, forward and back adjustments. A 2 man job really. The sunroof now opens ok but on park/water-tight position seems to ...

Re: 850 sunroof issue

Are they the (front to rear) plastic slider covers each side, on the inside of the sunroof opening? Thanks

Re: 850 sunroof issue

How do I pop the sunroof glass out please? That might also allow me to see the obstruction... Thanks

850 sunroof issue

The sunroof on my '96 850R slides back and forth ok but will not fully close. The drivers side rear corner stays down in the slide position and won't pop up to seal or open at the rear. I have done the track hinge lube thing regularly over the years. It looks like maybe the little hinge/stay isn't ...

Re: 850 stalling

Air flow meter faulty? It is a pretty important part of engine management.

Re: 850 cam pos sensor, should last how long please?

First, thanks FCP Groton, 7 day service from USA to New Zealand from the time of the email order to my door in NZ.

Upon removing my old sensor, I noticed the male plastic attachment clip that goes to the loom was broken, in fact some bits stayed behind in the female part of the loom clip. Rough ...

Re: 850 cam pos sensor, should last how long please?

Again, thank you :) The 'thermal' problem is the issue I think. A gradual failing at operating temps. I have ordered a new sensor from FCPGroton.

Re: 850 cam pos sensor, should last how long please?

Thanks for that... so maybe the cam sensor is not my problem, as the engine does start and drive after a few grinds on the starter. Would it be likely to be an intermittent cam sensor fault or do they just stop working?

850 cam pos sensor, should last how long please?

My 1996 850R has clocked 265,000 kms :D (165,000 miles). I have the startup miss/stall issue, seems as though the cam sensor may be faulty. It is a metal Bosch unit so must have been replaced (original Volvo item is housed in black plastic). So, assuming my Bosch unit has been installed for 100,000 ...
