The Volvo 850 R was only available with Modeljahr/Bj. 1996 (not T5 or T5-R) Can anyone make a statement or disclose information about how many more there are currently in Germany?! I would like to focus on the Limo as the 854, but further information from the 855 R (Kombi) are also of interest.

… and yet another thing that makes me a bit of a headache: For a few weeks or even months I have been watching in the rear-view mirror when starting “sometimes” ( ! ) a significant blue or gray or gray-blue cloud behind my animal. Also definitely only comes at the moment of starting at the first turns – after that there is nothing more to see. Interestingly, he does not do this regularly, e.g. after hours of service time or similar. No: Sometimes in the morning at cold start, sometimes after a rest type after I can’t really get a rhyme on it. Oil consumption is rather modest and completely normal. Head with VSD and oil trap were made completely new 2.5 years ago. Running power since the approx. 15 TKM, rather less. Since January I drive again regularly 2x 25 KM and rather hardly a short distance. Performance is absolutely OK. I have to continue my Kop F make ?

After the last middle disaster with my 8 TDI I now get new valves and a lot more. Reason for a ZR jumper. When the engine was disassembled, i.e. totally coked valves were found. That they still closed was probably a miracle. Sooner or later I would have had problems anyway. The main reason is probably my permanent cruising, in addition missing long distance rides. The boss from the workshop now said that I should kick the box from time to time. I have always dismissed this Ultimate-Plörre as a money cutter. I don’t want to break a new fundamental discussion from the fence now, only in my particular case would I be interested in whether there is anything to it. Is there any experience?

…. different! So about every 4 weeks I once had the lamp on (NO – the red one in the speedometer for brake). Looked, was always missing only minimally. Bish after tilted, calm. Over time the distances however became smaller and the quantities more. Only where? Did then finally have to check in the workshop – unfortunately was not there. My favorite screwdriver said: Down everything close. But under the brake fluid control tank is something like switches (brake pressure switch?) with 2 stripps penetrated. Now I have updated my computer and there is no “vatti” on it yet. Can anyone of you see what part this should be ? Better still: Does someone know this problem and has such a part by chance still lying ? (Hello Michael …..)

Hello, everyone who can remember the NeverEndingStoryhttps://www.motor-talk.de/…/…0-2-4t-bj-99-mod-00-t6841051.html?… Now engine damage. As with the engine 3 years ago, exhaust valve burned down again on the first cylinder. Actually, the replacement engine came with its own suction bridge and throttle valve. But as I only saw now, with the old injection nozzles. Now these were in the course of this extreme search, yes resealed ect., but in itself never looked at. Now I think it’s this easy t. The company with which I have this right now, also makes racing cars ect., and thought that the valve burned down because it ran too thin. Now the head is made complete. I am now considering whether I should immediately clean the green injection nozzles, maybe the brown ones are too small, for the performance. Although it is said that the brown up to 280-290hp go !? From what performance can one use the green ones, and what must be changed about the software ? Does someone have a Tip where I can get some new, cheap? Thanks lg Jerry

Hello, thought to carry out an engine oil flushing on my vehicles, since all beyond the 200 Tkm and the Opel 2.2 DTI BJ 2001 (up to 165 tkm now 202 tkm) and the two Volvos (2.5 10V Bj 1995/2.3 T5 Bj 94) were only filled with 10 W 40. The two also have beautiful deposits on oil lids, camshafts etc. However, after a year 0W40 a little improved, the oil after 500 km was already raven black. Now my question, an oil flushing is harmful for the engine. i the age or in large part appropriated? As a means was recommended with Mannol Motorflush, the cans are already at home, however, I have heard some negative feedback that this would not work with turbo vehicles or would generally cause engine damage. Have you had experience with this?

Hello together, I recently bought a 96 Volvo 850 relatively cheaply. Now I have the problem that it does not seem to turn off the ignition plus, i.e. radio, ventilation etc. Keep running. Also the lights of the climate or air valve continue to glow. In fact, it doesn’t always happen, but only feels after longer rides or when it’s warm. Maybe one of you has an idea what this might be Information about the Volvo: Volvo 850 Bj 96 2.4 10v 144 Ps Motor air conditioning (faith even air conditioning) Thank you and best regards!

Hello the rear windscreen wiper of my VOLVO 850 Bj 1996 did not work any more. Now I have dismantled everything, found that the shaft of the wiper was fixed but with thermal treatment and force the shaft got out, everything lubricated and greased and it moves again nicely, then on the steering wheel lever wiper turned on, engine does not move, motor is stuck, with 12 volt transformer a little at the soldering points power laid, nix, then a little WD 40 spriffed to the shaft zt and I then heard a little movement when voltage on orange and scratchy cable and the shaft moved also a little bit, now after a few hours I can not achieve this effect any more.!!!! Motor seems to be there or ? I can not actually believe that an engine is broken, fuse was also ok ?! In a workshop would be delivered to me a new engine for 160 Euro? Do you still have an idea how to get the engine running again? find if from the front current comes to the savvy engine? Thanks already

Hy, theme already purchased 100x, but always only type specific ect. Had about 10 years the original SportLevel suspension in the 99er/Mod.00 inside. It was actually always too hard for me, and thought already about 3 years ago to install a different chassis, but was not quite sure, so I had the front dampers and the level mats original renewed. The whole last year I wanted to change this finally, because in my opinion it is too hard for the “public” traffic. the route may be good and on the highway, it was only from 190 really comfortable. Strange, because Benz and Audi manage the balancing act between not every stone and yet handy at 250. Now I had KW inside and immediately out again, was only deluded, because nothing was right. Neither the technical information nor the driving behaviour, in the soft setting hops around that it is not reasonable and if you turn it harder, that the hopping goes away, it can be the K ronen out, even on the highway impracticable. Not to mention the optics, the rear springs too short etc. No matter the topic KW is done for me. Now the question, which manufacturer creates the balancing act between real comfort, and rich road position with higher splendour? At the TÜV I spoke with my speci and he told me that in Passau would be one who usually disassembled the suspensions of KW equally and provided with other springs ect., but is a little far away from me, and I would like to nich t times more have a screw of KW on the car. Had already so many cars with sports suspensions, and many were a dream, the first 1-3 cm have swallowed the progressive (channel cover ect.), but the car was Satt but not hard on the road. So this should be in my opinion. Shouldn’t be too deep, but with style, if you know what I mean, kindergarten is over. Koni suspension in yellow is also hard-adjustable, but how is this? The orange this is harder or softer ? In itself, Koni is such a hoppy story, which I remember. Thanks in advance to you. lg Jerry

One more question on this infinite topic: Since I can get original 16″ aluminium and I no longer drive so much, I wanted to upgrade my 850er to 205/55R16 all-year tires. 205/50er are not really possible because of the low offer with poor quality and then still high prices. Last week at the TÜV called if there is a chance to get the registered. After transmission of my key numbers 2.1 and 2.2 from the approval the answer was NO. I h From now on, the thick Volvo homologation description that has already been posted several times in the forum and the identical-looking table from the German Motor Transport Agency, where the type is in several places. Does the column “Version” in the middle refer to the beginning of the FIN of my car? Mine starts with YV1LW5106.. Does this mean that I really can’t? However, there is still the one-sided (here also already posted) manufacturer’s certificate in which the tire is also allowed, without restriction on certain “versions” except for the necessary steering limiters I have in it. Does anyone have any experience in convincing the TÜV with the note in my hand?
