Re: Oil drip during idle....location by turbo
yeah, Autobahn charges the MOST for labor in Fort Worth! They have to keep their Porsche, Jaguar, BMW, and Land Rover customers stocked up with latte's and perks. Has any in Fort Worth used Gorecki Saab/Volvo independent shop and/or The Volvo Clinic off Camp Bowie in Fort Worth? The Gas tank I would...

Re: Oil drip during idle....location by turbo
um... Autobahn service advisor called to update the findings... I'll have to call them back because I totally cannot remember details because I am stunned with HOW MUCH $$$ they wanted and my reaction to what they said. Something like upper and lower cam seals need replaced because oil was actually ...

Re: 1997 850 R-radio wires are a HOT-MESS!
thanks for all the info! I will see how far I can get with what is there. I do think its all complete. Besides all the cut wires, I didn't know what the plugs where for. I bought a wiring harness for an aftermarket radio, but I didn't know which plugs to use. So from what I understand:There is a plu...

Re: Oil drip during idle....location by turbo
since I have a fuel leak somewhere at the gas tank, I just dropped the car off at Autobahn Volvo Fort Worth... I asked the service advisor to check out the oil leak by the turbo. The car actually runs and sounds great. No smoke out the tail pipe. The turbo pulls strong and sounds as it should. Lets ...

Oil drip during idle....location by turbo
I have this oil drip during idle around the turbo. I also notice some drips after I turn the car off, but then it stops. I'm a newbie to this car. Anyone have any input or experience with this?

fuel smell... after fill up.
Well I bought this car a month ago, never have filled the tank up with gas until a couple of days ago. Big mistake. Now the whole car smells like fuel. So after some research I read about a recall. I have a call out to the dealer to see if they can fix this under the recall. Has anyone else experien...

thanks for the reply. I'll take a better look at all of this and look for the wiring schematics.
