Re: 97 850 ignition switch issues

Re: Bought a Platinum edition today

It's really cool, I've had my 850 wagon for exactly 2weeks, I'm having the pcv and the timing belt addressed by my shop as we speak lol....my Volvo man said both are in need even though the car runs great at 197000, I hope you enjoy your car.

Re: New Volvo owner.... finally Acquired a 1997 850 wagon

Thanks for the responses everyone, from what I've heard today the timing belt has been replaced so that's a relief...it's not a turbo but does run strong, can't wait to get her home....the ole Rodeo was ok but I was never really happy with it, I'm sure I will pester you guys in the future with ...
