If you used a soft hose not rated for about 1500 PSI, then I am not surprised you had a problem. A soft, low pressure hose would expand or even work loose at the connections.

No problem : I've succeed in to plug the hoses on their right nipple to rebuild the clutch system, so then, I had to bleed brakes "circuit" to be sure to have no more air in it. So it's not a clutch adjustment. It seems to be "impossible" to adjust the clutch. For my system, as the hoses in place, t...

I would check these parts circled round. I had recently something that sounds strangely like your issue. You say "no excessive rust...".

Yes, for sure. I am beginning to understand the difference between repairing and restoring. On the other hand, all the parts are original, some of them frozen in rust. Actually, what would be cool is a long weekend with my buddies from MVS, around a huge barbecue, a few beers, one or two toolboxes, ...

The master cylinder is out.

Okay.

I've found the issue : I have inverted hose 1 and 2. That's the reason why I was unable to bleed back the air in the MBC. I will correct my installation tomorrow afternoon and tell you if I've managed to clear the issu.

Manov

To be sure to not forget any track, couldn't it have to matter because I've made a mistake in plugging the hoses to the master cylinder ?

Manov

Hy misha,

i do thank you so much for your advice. At a moment, to be a newbie, (to put aside with the excellent advices I have here), can't be the only explanation. Without being hard to Skandix, this "home made" part is good to junk.I will order ATE model.

Manov

Hy I open the post again. The slave cylinder, after have worked a all day, doesn't' work anymore. The pedal gets to deep and doesn't come back. The fork seems to be blocked, I can't move it by hand. I don't lose liquid neither. I may admit that as a newbie , I'm a newbie in mechanic, but twice the s...

Thanks for reply. Control arms are new, as the sway bar link front axle. All the rest seems to me to be originals OEM. I have to replace every parts.

I suppose that to replace the parts below, I need a press, no ?

I've just had a look to the slave cylinder, the seal seems to be okay. But I don't think to have enough fluid to fill up the all circuit.

So, plenty of lessons today : - work with the right tools. It was already the case for me but I realized how much it's easier with the right tool... - before remove anything, to take as much pictures as needed to do not to figure out with "how to re assemble blabla...", - keep all the packages and s...

Hy Buddies, Thanks much to ally three for your caring. @abscate : there is no part to be adjusted on the slave cylinder, I mean that's just a "piston". @scot850 : PM sended.

What is that mess ? For the second time, the slave cylinder on the gearbox has exploded ! I don't understand... The first one, ok, let's admit that as a newbie, my IQ is low enough to be unable ton hold wrench. But two times at a week of distance, it can may be not be my fault... I've emptied the al...

So, the issue comes from the soft hose I have installed to replace the old one. This hose is too soft. I have to unbolt everything between the master cylinder brakes lines, the master cylinder itself, the brake booster (a bit to be able to move the pedal clutch cylinder), and replace the hose by a g...

Hy,

Here is the part I've taken out. As you can see, the hose has a clamp and the hose is a stiff one. The one I have installed is a soft one, and I have forgotten the clamp. I will put everything on place and see how it goes.

Manov

Thanks a lot for this advice I will use it tomorrow
Manov

Thanks for these explanations. What disturbs me is that I pump the pedal with hand, and each time the slave cylinder lets get out no more bubble, each time I start again to pump, the pedal is again soft with lot of air. There is also a noise that sound like when you finish your fast food soda cup wi...

Hy Chuck Thanks for advices. On the pedal cylinder, in the engine bay side, there is a hose that goes to the MC. I may have install it and the hose may have no clamp. After have unbolted the MC, I should reach my goal to be able to control. I also ask myself about the hose I've used, a soft rubber h...

Hy

The new part is arrived and has been installed. Impossible to bleed all the air in the system. I will have to remove all parts to control hoes, there must be an air I take somewhere.

Manov

So, here is the part sended by Skandix. I've used the way shown in the video just above to bleed the system.I don't understand how a small pressure of oil can has been able to push out the seal so far. The first bleed was fine, not enough, but fine... But I may also, as a newbie, have done something...

More I learn, more I will be able to help the others.

I will post some pics after the disassembly.

Manov

Hy volvolugnut, The good side of this story is that I'm a regular customer from skandix. I thank my contact and his firm to help me to carry things on. And I' have may be not done a mistake.

Hy buddies, Against all expectations, the clutch worked for a while this afternoon.The pedal was a bit short, because as soon as the pressure was released with the foot, the gear shifted immediately. Good. A short clutch, I can do with it. After a few shifts, the clutch went soft again and I broke d...

Hy Buddies, the bleed of the clutch pedal cylinder is a success. I've recovered my clutch brand new. I do sincerely thank Azik09, Volvolugnut,for their precious intervention. I also thank Robert DIY who has followed and supported me during this clutch restoration. You, Guys, are AmAziNg ! A last que...

Hy Azik09,

I bought a small bottle the same one the guy uses to. I will tell when I will finish ed to bleed.

manov

Is there a hydraulic pump excepting the steering wheel one, to put the clutch lines under pressure ? Do I have to make the engine run to test properly this installation ? No for both questions. Try to bleed it "from below". Take a medical syringe of 20 ccm or greater and a hose which can be fitted ...

Hy, Here's a small video I've done with the pedal. It doesn't come to its normal place and I have to move it with the hand to help it to return toi its place. Does someone have an idea of the reason why ? I need to find the issue as quick as possible because I must pick up my car for the job tomorro...

Hy buddies, I've finished to install and fill my hydraulic clutch this morning. The pedal seems to have lot less resistance than usual. The brake pedal seems to works in two time starting from the middle of its run. I may have plugged the hoses on the tank master cylinder in the wrong way, and of co...

Hy buddies,

I confirm that checking the slave cylinder is the thing to do. As abscise said, it's a part of the clutch. Mine is brand new, September last year, but as a newbie, I didn't think about replace the bearing, which is silly. But less than the garage owner who didn't tell me...

There is a recent thread by a MVS member who claims you can replace the sway-bar without dropping the sub-frame.

Neil.

Any way to find this post Neil ?

Not sure how much difference a polybush would make for swaybar bushings, but there's these https://www.partsforvolvosonline.com/product_info.php?cPath=2_546_385_387&products_id=8640&osCsid=07b764269a188079f18e6179752ce9b1 https://www.partsforvolvosonline.com/product_info.php?cPath=2_546_385_387&pro...

I will have to open the cluster to replace the clock module...

Thanks to all of You guys, you're amazing !

I have to unscrew the dashboard anyway to replace it. I will make a picture an the test at this time.

Thanks again to all of you.

It's Volvo !

Hy buddies ! New question : My car is from February the 28, 1995. On my tachymeter instrument cluster, I have only the regular watch. Which is already cool !

Hy, For me who has travelled a long time with the 800 units, the difference with the SC901 is obvious. It's as to compare a 600X800 pixels screen to a full DH one : everything is more "pure" if I may say so.

Hy Buddies ! What to say ? Even though I'm in France, I can only say how I'm blown away by this post...

Salut Neil, Huge cool to read your post ! Yes I speak about the one that goes across the disk and the hub (10 mm). I've just been surprise to see the disk move a bit while I was trying to put back the wheel. I don't worry about this pin, but if I may put things in order I would like to. Thanks a lot...

Hy Buddies While I was replacing my control arms, I've seen that the bolt that helps to place the wheel correctly on the hub was broken inside the hub. The brake disk moves a bit when I brake. My question is : does someone could advice me about the right tool to buy, which quality drill and reverse ...

Does someone know how it is possible to extract it, I mean, a special tool ? ( after having disassembled to gbfrom the engine, I mean)

Manov

Hy Neil, Thanks to U for your analysis. You may be right. I have to study the issue closer. I 've got a V70 from 1998 which is my donor for certain numbers of parts that go on the 850. As I've never disassembled a gearbox from an engine before, it will be for me the occasion to learn the "how to DIY...

Hy Dudes, i have a question : my gearbox has 93000. I hear my gearbox, at low speed, more than it should I think it makes a little noise, as if there was sand in it, you can hear the sprockets turning, the gearbox was emptied less than 930 miles ago. ` Should I use a thicker oil ?

Could it have something to matter with the Mass air flow or the camshaft sensor ? Manov

I would like to know if there was an option on the 850 models equipped with the dash central speaker ?

Thank for your answer. I will try to take the one on my V70. At least, it will a test to see how it goes.

Manov

Edit : the one I wanted to use is burn out . Let's order a new one.

Hy Guys,

I continue to repair Blue.

New question : Is this the correct part I have to buy to repair my windscreen ? and if so, is there a special thing to do to install thorium moulding ? Glue ? Or does it stand just by the action of installing it ?

Manov

All right.
Thanks for these explanations.
I would like to putt I-under the passenger seat. With your message, I have enough information to realize a nice installation.
Thanks.

Hy Buddies,

I'm looking for the harness. Is there someone that may have it already removed ? (amplifier Volvo 4 X 100 W)

Thanks Misha,

The issue is that the pressure valve of the pressure hose is blocked somewhere between the fuel pump aero and the inside wheel place. I've unscrewed the suspension thinking I would have more room but at the end, not.

I will test your method.

Hy Sommerfeldt, Thanks for replying. The thing is that I can't extract the pressure hose in a sens or in another, because there is not much enough space because the size of the pressure hose head.

Any tip somewhere ?

Manov

Newbie here.

Hy. How did you remove the aftermarket alarm ? You post a wiring. Did you find cables on your own installation ? There must be another wiring board more precise, no ?

Manov

Are the wiring the same long size ? Is it possible to see on a wiring diagram which goes or come from where to where ?

When plugged, switch ignition on and read codes again ? Maybe the issues will be seen..

Manov (newbie)
