I hope Volvo 850 has such proportioning Valve. I read that the proportioning valve is only used in systems where front brakes are discs/rotors and rear brakes are drums. This valve is needed to ensure that both front and rear brakes engage at the same time. But I see that such proportioning valve is...

Misha, thank you for that assurance. This rear hose has been on my mind for the past 6 years since I started the repair hobby. I replaced and rebuilt nearly everything in this car except for replacing this hose. One day, I will get to it. I don't know why Volvo put it there.

The 1999 version is 1332455 That might be the same part used in 1996. I couldn’t find the part listed in 1996 models either. Abscate, that's a rubber connector. It is not the plastic. The plastic connector broke into pieces when I squeezed it with my fingers. I wonder, what other parts in the engin...

One of my first repairs on the Volvo 850 was to replace all rubber hoses. This is a no brainer and the easiest repair as long as you are able to identify what to buy and are smart to buy Volvo OEM rubber (Anything else will have unknown life expectancy). The next thing is to replace plastic stuff. N...

Has anyone ever seen or heard about the rear brake line hose (the one impossible to get to) burst or fail in Volvo 850? I replaced other 3 brake line hoses 6 years ago, but this one is still there and it is the original Volvo now 22 years old. Should I be worried? I am worried. Can I wait 5 more yea...

Ok.. I found suitable genuine Volvo vacuum rubber connectors to use on both ends of that conduit. I had them in my parts box from years ago when I decided to replace all rubber stuff from engine bay and never used them... BUT, I still would like to know what the part number is for the original plast...

Thanks for the tip. I still want to find the Volvo part number for this part. It is better for me to just order it online together with other parts that I need, and have it delivered, than go to the store and try to explain to someone what I need. If I knew the part number for a suitable rubber subs...

Hi Guys, I have 1996 Volvo 850 GLT. This plastic 90 deg. conduit broke into many pieces. See below pics. It is located behind air intake filter cover. 20181021_233515s.jpg 20181021_233503s.jpg I am trying to find a part number for it so that I can buy it from the dealer. I tried VIDA diagrams, but c...

Bunch of "copy and paste" irrelevant instructions in this thread and no concrete answer. Can I get mileage from this ELM327 on my Volvo? Has anyone successfully done it with the Volvo model that I have? or is it just posting stuff, experiments and speculations? I don't want to waste severa...

I have a 1996 Volvo 854 GLT with ODB II. If I buy that tool ELM327, will I be able to read the mileage from it? Has anyone done it successfully on this car that I have? If not, Is there a better cheap tool?
