Re: 1994 850 NonTurbo Tracs Switch Light lit, drains batter

So... With original module in place, the OBD would not show codes. It did not give me an all clear (1-1-1), it just wouldn't show anything. It would just very dimly glow and no matter what I did with the button it would stay with that dim glow. I assumed my problem was obviously the module. I unhook...

850 Exhaust: Bosal vs. OEM/Stock.

I have noticed that some complete exhaust/mufflers actually have what looks like a second muffler in the straight piece that is between the over the axle section and the tail pipe, but Bosal's does not. (95 850 wagon) 1)What is that: a second muffler, a resonator- what? 2)Is Bosal's substantially lo...

Re: 850 Manifold Flex questions.

Next Problem: When the exhaust was "removed" from the car they did not bother to unhook the O2 sensors. The connector for the back appears fine, but the connector for the front had its wires pulled from it on both ends. In other words, the leads were pulled from both the male side that is ...

Re: 850 Manifold Flex questions.

The manifold came off like a prom dress! No problems whatsoever- I then ordered a new one like you said would happen.

Thanks for the replies.

Re: I just bought my first Volvo- 95 850 GLT

Thanks for pointing me around the forum/web. You really saved me quite a bit of time, and have me off to a good start.. Meanwhile, back at the ranch... Mileage checks out with the previous owner's story: 115,102 miles came blinking back at me. I am utterly amazed that the manifold came off with no e...

Re: 850 Manifold Flex questions.

The exhaust manifold comes right off with the engine still in the car. Well, except for rust ... You can source an aftermarket flex pipe but it won't come with the flange that yours originally had on the end of it, so that won't really solve the problem. Although if you go to a muffler shop they ma...

850 Manifold Flex questions.

I have a 95 850 GLT N/A. I have no exhaust after the manifold. Let me rephrase that- I am actually missing the exhaust, plus the flex portion of the manifold. The manifold is in good condition, and the piece left has a good solid flare around the exit pipe. Is there an after market fix that would le...

I just bought my first Volvo- 95 850 GLT

Me: I am a mid level diy'er (I can swap motors, but not rebuild them) and I am a dollar per mile bottom line person. I like if a car has character and I love to tinker with oddities, but ultimately I am also about reliability and getting the most miles per dollar/hour. That does not necessarily mea...
