1997 850 won't start

When I turn they key, I hear a "whirring" sound but the starter isn't engaging. The battery is new. Do I need to rplace the starter or should I look elsewhere first?

S60 Starting Problems

My 2006 S60 is experiencing intermittant starting problems. About once a month, when I start it (warm engine), it sputters badly and shakes. If I turn off the ignition and re-start it, it starts OK. Occasionally the check engine light comes on with the following codes: ECM120D - Intake air sensor/Ai...

Drivers Side Power Window Problem

I have a 2006 S60. When I pull the drivers side power winow switch up to auto-up the window all the way, as soon as it closes it goes back down to the position it came from. If I hold the switch up until the window closes, it will stay closed. Any ideas?

ABS and TRACS Dash Lights

I own a 1997 850 non turbo. Recently, the ABS and TRACS OFF dash lights have been turning on and turning off intermittantly. I checked the fuses and they are OK. Any suggestions?

Re: 850 Dash Cover Removal

I did pull the glove box and found two torx screws in the cavity at the opening. A diagram I found on the Web from volvocars indicated that there are three. I can't find the third one. I did remove the two on the passenger door side as you indicated. I will look for more inside the cavity behind the...

850 Manual Trans "Shutter"

I have a 1997 850 with a 5 speed manual transmission. Recently I noticed that when I take off from a dead stop in first gear, it "shutters" for a few seconds. If I increase the RPMs before engaging the clutch, there is no shutter. The motor mounts are new, the tires are new. Is it my clutc...

850 Driver's Side Visor

Does anyone know where I can get a driver's side visor (tan) for an 850? Mine droops and apparently it can't be fixed.
