What did you do to your Volvo today? Topic is solved

[manovlov]

Have replace one on the two rear brakes hoses. A pain. As i've moved the fuel tank three times a bit recently, i didn't feel comfortable to warm the 2 last connectors on the second brake hose. I think it was the right thing to do. I'm gonna wait till the FT will be empty, and i will do this work on the second hose. I will replace the fuel filter by the same way.

Anyway, the back of my 850 doesn't fit in my oven, so...

I've bled my brakes.

I have ordered the right lambda socket to replace my lambdas with OEM ones. But i've been looking for 2 sensors, and found only one.

Can someone tell me what is the consequence on the engine when it turns ?

I'm not sure about your car, but on my 1996, I have (had) two O2 sensors; one front, and one rear.
I also had a plug, like in your picture, that was for the SAS system, which I don't have.

Hy Sweedy,

I didn't find any other lambda sensor hole anywhere else on the exhaust line...

It is not on top of the rear of the catalytic converter?

Happy 900th page!

i did use her brand new oven for heating reluctor rings,,,,,,

How did you get the ring out and to the axle fast enough before it contracted? I used a MiniDuctor inductive heating device on my reluctor ring, then very quickly moved it to the axle and pushed it in place. So satisfying.

Then I tried to replace the reluctor ring on an aftermarket axle. No matter how much heat I gave it, it just wouldn't fit. That's even after I used a wire wheel and a rotary grinder on the mounting surface. When it cooled and got stuck on the axle, I used the inductive heater to try and move it, but heat transferred to the entire CV joint. A little grease squeezed out the boot seams, perhaps from expansion. The CV was still hot for about 30 minutes after that.

Ultimately, I tried tapping the hot reluctor ring on with two little hammers. That caused it to warp. No, I didn't bother claiming the FCP warranty on that since it was my blatant mistake. The aftermarket axle is going in the garbage to be replaced by a used OEM one with a lovely reluctor ring.

hi it helps having the workshop vice close to the kitchen like 50ft or so and the cv is original by the look of it and i did clean well and found a metal tube just the right dia for the rings and between me and tina she held it steady while i knocked the ring on,first took 2 goes and second one go and on good and quick,just a pity it still dont fecking work!
the drive to take some of the family back was lovely the car is indeed very happy and pulls like a freight train,i have never driven the turbo version but must be scarey fast as compared to my previous 10 yrs suffering the peugeot 406 1-8 cc this is a ferrari!
though so far looking for 5 or so years here ive not found another manual base wagon broken for spares as they say there too old,worries me that i shall complete revamp just as the vital ingredients are no longer there to fix it again.
true most bits can be found but at what cost? ie i was going to try replace electrical part of ignition switch but new is around £100 here and having both done clutch and engine mounts skinted me right out as well as extra house guests who seem unable to switch anything off,£100 electric in 8 days that could of bought the ignition!
not sure on fuel use but it maybe a little better since doing clutch and fixing leaky vac pipes it is harder to keep to speed limit though!peace

Looks like the 96 850 10V base is coming back for a little more TLC, but this time I am getting my Volvo mechanic buddy to work on it so he can use the hoist to tackle the terminally rusty fuel filter as well as the outer tie-rods.

I have been re-contacted by a guy I helped with a 97 850 GLT about a year ago when it wouldn't run. Got is running with a used fuel pump relay, but don't think he has used it much since. Now he wants it brought back up to safe running order. Again I will inspect it with my mechanic buddy and we can draw up an immediate list and a list to do over time.

I warranty replaced a bmw pvc that can I tried to install with a broomstick,in a rather unproud moment . I came clean on the paperwork described it as user error on install, and they covered it in full. Apparently , the goodwill to cover our occasional bad Charlie Foxtrot mechanic skills is offset in their business model
