Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Replaced odometer gears with new kit from IPD.
The small gear was replaced in 2007 at 230000mi
This time found the bottom gear shattered into several pieces.
The bottom gear is now integrated with the base piece.

95 850 fuel injector compatibility

I would like to replace the fuel injectors for a 95 non-turbo manual 850.
They are the original ones (orange).

FCP has the yellow ones from Bosch (pn 945455) but was told by service that they are for automatics.
Really? Automatics use a different injectors than for manuals?

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Just replaced the entire cooling system on my 850 after radiator started leaking suddenly.
Could not find a genuine Volvo radiator so bought a Nissens which cost about half.
Reused the two rubber grommets for the mounting holes but did not replace the round metal inserts.

Spent the next day ...

850 driver side window fix

Recently I tried to close the driver side window but as it rose it started tilting at an angle.
I thought maybe the window guide must have come loose or broke again.
Found out that one of the two brackets attached to the bottom of the glass came loose and dropped to the bottom of the door. The glass ...

Re: P80 850 rear bumper bracket bolts (982831, M10x130mm)

I am also planning to replace the bumper brackets for my 95 850 sedan and have begun sourcing parts.
After some research it seems there are differences between parts for the sedan and wagon.
It looks like the wagon uses the same bracket for both left and right sides but does the sedan?
Or does the ...

95 850 exhaust manifold

I need to replace the exhaust manifold which has started leaking and getting louder every day.
The manifold is the early version and connects to the catalytic using 2 springs and 2 bolts.
The catalytic may be need to be replaced as well.
It has only one O2 sensor.

Is it possible to fit the newer ...

850 air intake replacement

The flexible rubber hose that connects the air cleaner box and the intake manifold in a non-turbo 850 was a bad design.
It has to be bent almost 90 deg which puts a lot of stress on the outside bend.
Holes eventually develop due to the erosive effect of air flow compounded by the heat and stress ...

Re: 850 parking brake cable

Now that I've removed the right side parking cable it renders the left parking brake totally useless.
How did the Volvo engineers come up with this design.
If one side fails shouldn't the other side work?

Re: 850 parking brake cable

Figured it out after seeing parts on eEuroparts.
The end of the cable slips into the cylindrical holder on the linkage.
The linkage is sold separately.
