Hi all, being a new Volvo owner, I had a quick question. Does anybody know if you can go from economy to sport while driving? i am not sure if it is supposed to be set before you start driving, and can you put it in nuetral while moving, to change it? Thanks

I took the car up on the highway and gave it a good run, huge difference in acceleration, and much smoother. The smoke did clear up finally as well. The exhaust still stinks though, not really sweet, more like fuel? It sort of burns your nose if you smell it up close. Could it be running too rich? I ...

Thanks guys, I am going to take it out in the next day or two, I will let everyone know how it goes, and I will get some pictures too

After the heavy white smoke stopped, I noticed smoke coming from the back of the motor at the flex pipe ...

Okay, I recently did an intake cleanout with seafoam on my 96 850 N/A, and after the heavy smoke went away the car now has white smoke coming from the tailpipe and also from the flex pipe coming off the exhaust manifold at the back of the engine. I just now finished servicing the PCV system. I ...
