Re: Make a US trip computer display kilometers? Xiaotec app?

Only from am/pm to 24 hour format and Fahrenheit to Celsius. Not Miles to Kilometers or Gallons to liters. I think I´ll need to mentally adjust to mpg instead of 10 km/1 liter...

Make a US trip computer display kilometers? Xiaotec app?

Asking XantheFin, the creator of 850 OBD II app here since others might be interested. I've bought a US trip computer to my US spec 850 1997 that I'm using in Norway. Hence I'd like the trip computer to display kilometers and liters (Gallons per miles seems counter intuitive to me... 🙂). Is it ...

Volvo NOS parts from Sweden

We don't have Ebay in Sweden but we do have "Tradera"

https://www.tradera.com/search?q=volvo% ... yId=343418

The US specific parts (odometers etc) might be a bargain!?

Re: Emblems on a 855 GLT 1997 LPT?

I´ve got a US spec 850 so the "GLT" must have fallen of. To bad Volvo didnt label it a "Turbo". Seems like the "Turbo", even the 220 hp, are worth twice as much as a natural aspirated 850 here in Scandinavia.

Emblems on a 855 GLT 1997 LPT?

Trying to restore my 855 that's been imported from IL. My car only has "VOLVO" and "850" om the tailgate. Was that original without" GLT" on the 1997 LPT model?

Cheap Bluetooth scanner VOL-fcr compatible

Keeping the outdated VOL-fcr program working with a laptop isn't getting any easier. Fortunately that guy from Finland made this android app with all the functions and some additional features "850-OBDII" . Some of the cheap Bluetooth ELM-327 readers doesn't have the proper chip and won't work with ...

Re: Blower motor works but no air is coming out

Thanks for your help! There is no air coming out of any of the vents. Recycling mode or not. And the problem comes and goes so I guess its neither a clogged air filter nor a blocker evaporator. Is ECC part of the Vol-FCR protocol ? (I didnt bring my Vol-Fcr laptop to my cabin) or do I need to make ...

Blower motor works but no air is coming out

This problem is intermittent but seems to occur when you need the ventilation the most (occurred yesterday driving 500 km in very foggy conditions forcing me to use paper towels every 30 seconds for 6 hours,...). I think the problem occurs gradually and not suddenly (but I am not sure). The blower ...

Re: Pro parts Sweden Quick strut assembly torn after 4 years

In case you didn't know. Do not get fooled by the name, Pro Parts Sweden is a Swedish company but they are almost only selling products made in China.

Hundreds of Labour dollars/ euros to replace those parts

My wrong 32 000 km = 20 000 miles... But never the less, a fraction of the longevity of the once from factory.
