Volvo 850 in newish Lumineers music video (not a question, just sharing)

Hey, so today I don't actually have a question. Just wanted to share a music video that has a 850 in it and that they drive presumably around the country. Thought it was kind of cool that it's in it considering the cars age and how new the music video/band is. Some of their other videos have a 240 i...

Re: Front brake grab/sticking after pad, rotor, and brake hose replacement

Thanks for all the replies. I drove around and compared the temp of all the rotors by placing my hand near them, the rear two are similar and the front two are similar and naturally the front two are significantly warmer. So I don't think it's a issue of one bad caliper. I like the idea of the water...

Front brake grab/sticking after pad, rotor, and brake hose replacement

Hey, so as the titles states I just replaced the flexible brake hose, the pads and the rotor for the front. The old set was pretty warped, and slowing down had the typical pulsing. The new brake hose is myele, and the pads/rotors are the 5 piece bosch kit from fcp. The whole process seemed to go wel...

Re: Has Anyone had any expereince with the Meyle HD Control Arms on there P80 Volvos?

I threw on Meyle HD Control Arms last fall. I've put on 20,000 miles since then, but the vast majority of that has just been highway. They've held up fine.

Re: AC Compressor Cycling causing ~150 rpm drops

Just to updated on what the issue was. It was over charged. I had it vacuumed out and recharged on Saturday, and that fixed the issue of the rpm drops and power loss. Thanks for all the help.

Re: AC Compressor Cycling causing ~150 rpm drops

If you check your R134A capacity I think you will find you overcharged it - which will exactly cause your symptoms. Even with having the system fully open and the line from the compressor removed? I couldn't find an exact recommendation for the number of cans to use, nor did I think the pressure in...

Re: AC Compressor Cycling causing ~150 rpm drops

Thanks oragex. I'll let it cool off for a little bit and then try rotating the clutch plate. What do you mean by kick the pully?

AC Compressor Cycling causing idle rpm drop (Overcharged AC)

Hey. So like the title says my AC compressor is cycling on and causing rpm drops during idle. There is a decent loss of power when this occurs. To provide a little history. Previous owner ~4 years ago hit something and ruined the condenser and the hose that runs between the condenser to compressor. ...

Re: 1998 S70 Broken Strut Mounting Bracket Bolt

Yea I figured it would be safe at low speeds. I don't have the tools to drill out the stud (no drill) but I'll look to see if I can press it out at all.

I saw your writeup actually, it was good and thorough.

1998 S70 Broken Strut Mounting Bracket Bolt

Hey. Yesterday I was replacing the driver side wheel hub/assembly and the passenger side cv axle. The work on the drivers side went smoothly, I was hoping to replace that CV axle as well but couldn't free it from the transmission. The driver side CV axle was in good condition so I wasn't too upset. ...
