Volvo Forum + help for owners

Found the problem! I'm just going to say it, I put the fuel lines on backwards and didn't bother to check which line was the fuel supply and return line... so yeah. Now I have a running Volvo! :D Anyways, the car runs, better than my other car. But it has a misfire on cylinder #5 and the front shock...

I'm back. Progress so far: No start, turns over! but no start, I replaced the broken fuel line with an oem product, new fuel filter, new regulator relay for the fuel pump relay, new fuel pressure regulator(used), new fuel rail, new injector seals and filter(I have not installed them yet), did I ment...

This thread is officially closed for me. The 850 T-5R is off the market now.
But a nice 2006 S60R just showed up on my horizon!

I did check to see if there were 12 Volts going the the pump. It turned out that when I checked the fuse a third time I did not get any juice. Thanks to a very well educated friend, he took me through a step by step method to see where my electrical problem was. First, I had already dropped my tank ...

Ok, so I checked the whole fuseblock to make sure there were no fuses blown at all and none were found to be blown. I also used my testlight to find that the socket 15 for the FPR does have power. Next, I used a paperclip to jump the sockets 15 to 87a. Still nothing. I also checked to see if there w...

rcannon, very good to know. When I try to find out my no fuel issue and get it resolved that will be my next concern since I have many worn out/cracked tubes. Thanks for the input. Also, thanks ...Lee. Nice to know as well. I was stumped since I saw all the replacement relay pictures had four pins. ...

Awesome write up. I'm resolving issues of my own with the help of Ozark Lee but this looks like a DIY that may help me down the line. Thanks!

Umm... so here she is, Re(d)volvet. In her natural habitat.

No I never did track it down yet. I didn't smell any gas this last time I tried cranking the car, although I figure there can only be so many things wrong when you smell gas.(Injectors not seated properly, fuel pressure regulator gone bad, cracked hoses, ect.) So looking at my diagram I can see that...

Ok! So I tested the relay the right way this time and...VOILA! It worked! So now I know my relay and fan both work properly and I have become more knowledgeable on why/when the fan should come on. Thanks ...Lee for your response. I hope someday this will help a Volvo owner too. It helped me! I haven...

I am still new to posting, I just wanted to say I have been looking for a proper thread concerning not only replacing the cooling fan relay but also what to look for in regards to why it will not turn the fan on. I have found a proper wiring diagram for the cooling fan relay here: http://www.wiringd...

Thanks for the the quick responses so far. I guess I will be selling some stuff and doing some overtime if I want to get the T-5R. If all goes according to plan I should be getting some pics of the vehicle today. I would like to get everyone's opinion of the vehicle if anyone is interested in seeing...

Hello, I am new to the forums by way of posting, I have been reading up on this site for quite some time now to resolve issues and I have a 1995 Volvo 855 GLT. Currently I am working on it and almost complete, thanks to this website. But it has shown its age(suspension is out, the brakes up front ar...
