Re: Moving and can't keep my '96 850R
Thanks for the heads up Kara503, I've shown it to two people so far from the Eugene/Springfield area, and one person who remains to see it from Phoenix! I should know by tomorrow what the word is from at least two of them. Also, I've always appreciated the insight and help I've gotten from the ...

I'm moving a few states over for a new work opportunity and unfortunately can't bring along my R. I won't have space for it and I would ...

Selling my '96 850R, Moving and can't keep it..
Hey all, I'm moving a few states over for a new work opportunity and unfortunately can't bring along my R. I won't have space for it and I would love to not have to scrap it or sell it to a dealer for nothing.. I was hoping someone could take a look at my ad I've got on Craigslist and tell me if its ...

Re: 96 850R cranks but won't start
Thanks guys! Turns out it was the pump! It looks like it was the original one from '96 too! After having to run over to harbor freight for an oil filter wrench, I swapped in the new one and it started right up after priming it! Finally back on the road feels nice :) next up: new Calipers, rotors and ...

96 850R cranks but won't start
Hey all, Tried starting on a normal day to no avail. Cranks like it wants to start but sounds like its just not getting any fuel. After checking, I'm not getting any pressure at the fuel rail at all. Yes, I have gas in there, about a half tank haha. Besides pulling injectors to maybe see if they are ...

Re: Turbo vaccum pipes
From my experience, most of the vacuum lines for the Turbo include the three color coded ones for the TCV, which are 5mm ID. The vacuum lines for the intake ports by the throttle body also seem to be 5 or 6mm ID. I think the one for the PCV comes as a 4mm hard plastic line but I upgraded mine to a ...

Re: Volvo 850 R Project. Need advice on repairs.
Well, I might just be owing you $5 kcodyjr as that was my first thought too! Now that you mention non-OEM, all four calipers seem to be painted blue and the little retainer clips that go on the outside of the caliper have some sort of silicone embedded in there to probably "keep it there" so I ...
