Well I made it home with no problems, so it wasn't the water pump. I have no acceleration issues & my coolant is clean so it's not the head gasket. I just replaced the thermostat & ECT February so I didn't think it was that BUT.......I decided to stop at an Autozone that I pass on my way hom...

I forgot to mention that I had replaced the coolant temp sensor at the same time I did the thermostat. Is there anything else I should look for? If the car is going to overheat, how long does this take? I will need to drive home about 25 miles 2nite in heavy stop & go traffic and I do not want t...

HELP!! Temerature gauge HELP!!

1996 volvo 850 wagon non-turbo: This just started today, I noticed that my temp gauge is pinned all the way to the top. The car doesn't appear to be overheating, but I haven't driven it very long since I've noticed the issue. There is no water leaking so I don't think it is the water pump and the co...

Thanks for all your help!!! They were calling for rain so I decided to get to work before it hit. I actually ended up using the largest flathead screwdriver I have and it worked perfectly!! The old rotors were a pain to get off, but a little liquid wrench and a large rubber mallet did the trick. Nex...

Thank you very much!! I found your e-brake writeup and it answers my questions perfectly. I was wondering though if you could send me a pic or show me a link for the caliper tool you use? I've done a search for "caliper tool" and there are so many results that I would prefer to buy the too...

Rear Brakes/Rotors Replacement

Sorry if this topic has been covered before, but it seems that every where I look the instructions vary a bit. Basically I need to do my rear brake pads and rotors. I already have the new pads & rotors but upon doing another quick search to make sure I have all my bases covered, one poster sugge...

Argo Rims

Does anyone know if the Argo rims from a 1994 850 Turbo Wagon will fit properly on a 1996 850 Base Wagon? Thanks.

seat swap?

Newbie here. Did a search but didn't find anything that matched my scenario. I just bought a 96 850, drivers seat is well worn so I've been looking for a replacement. I found a guy in the next town parting out a 94 850 Turbo. Would it be possible to swap out the cloth seats, front & rear, in a 9...
