Re: Replacing automatic shifter

Any luck on this? My shifter, while working fine is a mess- little rubber pebbles all over the center console area, it's getting annoying. I know I can find a replacement, I just don't know how big a deal it is to change. I haven't been able to find a write up on it.

Re: '95 850Turbo engine cooling fan

I don't have an answer but would be interested in hearing one too. I seem to have caught a lucky break with a couple of my codes appearing to be solved by reconnecting a couple of vacuum hoses I found loose, but now I have this A2 514 code that I'm not really sure where to begin solving... (514 Engi...

Re: 850 Missing Diagnostic Leads

Whew! So nothing to worry about then... (as far as that goes) As far as the mileage codes- I sure did! I guess that would go on the scoreboard as my first accomplishment with this car. It's funny, I really pushed on the fact that the odometer didn't work to get a better deal on the purchase, only to...

850 Missing Diagnostic Leads

I was recently poking around under the hood of my recently purchased 1995 850 Turbo Wagon. Of course the odometer is broken (184k) so I was excited to find out about getting the actual mileage from the diagnostic thing-a-majig. I did get that (211k) and a bunch of codes that I won't waste your time ...

Re: 850 Fuel Tank recall still good?

Yeah- I can't speak for Canada, but Mine is a 95 and they didn't hesitate. I'm extremely relieved because I suspect that was the reason I got such a good deal on the car. There were a bunch of little things that were easy to fix in an afternoon, but I'm sure the previous owner was intimidated by the...

Re: 850 Fuel Tank recall still good?

Just an update: I called Volvo of North America and after registering myself as the new owner of this VIN I asked about recalls and this recall #139 is still open-- it did not sound like something that will expire. I took the car to our local Volvo owned dealer (It had to be Volvo owned- not some ki...

Re: 850 Fuel Tank recall still good?

Did this work out for you? I recently purchased my 95 850 Turbo Wagon and upon filling it up today discovered serious leaking just back from both rear wheels on either side of the fuel tank. I'm hoping I'm still good to go as money is extremely tight and I don't want to put my family in this thing u...
