Re: Transmission Arrow Dull and Flickering, no pattern, not flashing, no transmission symptoms

I have the same thing on my 855. Always have had it since I bought it from the PO. Never could figure it out. I came to the same conclusion too - that it is a bad ground somewhere. My dash is loose and the arrow light flickers when going over bumps. I demonstrate that here... https://photos.app.goo....

Re: 1997 850 Volvo Turns Off When Stopped/Slowing down to St

These cars always keep us on our toes. They always seem to need something looked at/worked on. Seems like an easy job to get it back on the road - maybe. I just gotta keep the coolant topped off; and not let it sit idling for too long so as not to get a giant puff of smoke. :cry: No fires by me. Tho...

Re: 1997 850 Volvo Turns Off When Stopped/Slowing down to St

Funny guys. :lol: I thought it looked like someone took a blade to it, but it didn't make sense why. I knew who & where I took my car to for work, and it hasn't been worked on for quite a while. So I would think it would drive like it has recently just after they touched it, if one of those guys...

Re: 1997 850 Volvo Turns Off When Stopped/Slowing down to St

No doubt about that. I'll price one at my local stealership for fast pickup, or order one online. Any idea as to how something like this could happen?

Re: 1997 850 Volvo Turns Off When Stopped/Slowing down to St

I have had these very same symptoms. Car is not driveable now and has benn sitting in the garage for a while until I can figure out what to do and/or save money to fix. When I parked it the first thing I though it could be was teh idle control valve, since my idle was sporadic and stalling. I did ta...

Re: my transition to the dark side is complete

I wish they'd put the 2.0t in the Cruze. I'd be all over one - great driving dynamics for a FWD; just needs more power. 100 HP would be good :) Maybe you bought yours too soon? :wink: http://www.roadandtrack.com/future-cars/first-looks/2014-chevrolet-cruze-coupe-ss Here's the 4 door version that co...

Re: my transition to the dark side is complete

I get dizzy with the amount of back-and-forth I do when it comes to whether or not I keep the quirky thing. I swear, everytime I turn around there's some issue - big or small - that keeps rearing it ugly head. But I did buy it cheap, and I don't have to make payments, and it does have the knack to s...

I Need Help Removing 850 Wagon Tail Lights

Good Afternoon, As my title states, I need some assistance in removing my tail lights on my 1995 850 wagon. I searched on the forum but couldn't find any specific directions. I assume I need to remove the interior plastic molding (near where the speakers are) to get to the bolts. But how much of tha...

Re: Blower motor help needed

I'm curious to hear your feedback with the new part once installed. I am need of this part and so far the prices for the Behr unit ranges from $170 - $180 online, and the economy versions range from $110 - $125. I want to buy a new one and not just get a pick n pull part to only break down in the ne...

Re: POLL: Do you like Fast Fridays?

One suggestion I have for these posts would be to perhaps illustrate some of the things Lucky mentions. Either by pictures or by a short video. He's done instruction videos in the past, at his pevious employers. But it would be good for some of us less mechanically inclined to attempt adjusting the ...
