Good evening! I have a new one since Saturday! It is a V70 of the first generation with just under 280TKM, 1st hand so half as wild, always very well maintained etc… The only problem is: The fog lights don’t shine. So you press the button, which then also lights green, only the fog lights don’t shine. Before I try wildly now etc. I have searched for a natural way in the forum, and actually only found something about the relay occupancy with regard to the fog lights. Does anyone have another idea, or will it be the relay? Greetings, Hjalmar

Hallochen, my old “Grande Dame” purrs like a young kitten (with 280 Tkm just entered 😉 ), but shows an ugly rust at the passenger door. In 2019 I had a cost estimate made by a body builder, so I fell backwards from the chair: He explained to me that he had to expand the facing of the side wall, seatrest and side windows on both sides. The cost estimate amounted to 2600 EUR. Do you think there is a simpler and cheaper pragmatic solution? My claim is not to have a flawless new car. I just want to invest the most necessary to counter the obvious decay. For your tips I am grateful. Many greetings from the wild south (HN) Johannes

Hello guys, I did a test drive with a Volvo 850 last year and since then I have been looking for an opportunity to purchase one. Now I have the one here in the Visir :https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/…/1063485951-216-827 I’d like to get in touch with you and I’d like to know your opinions about the car. Even I live in the Weserbergland near Höxter and would of course drive the 300km to the tour.However, I have little to no experience with Volvo.I trust in screwing.With Golf3 variant TDI and now with Audi >A4B5 TDI it works very well with a reference book……. Who can give me “support” from you?

Hello, after a long consideration I intend to buy the SC 805. I have upgraded all speakers of the Premium Sound line. Unfortunately you do not get the suitable amplifiers to the radio so often. How is that, if I want to connect any other amplifier to it? The radio has this round connection – is there there any suitable adapter or does someone know how this plug is used? And of course the question, which amplifier would fit optimally to the loudspeakers. Or does the radio already suffice from the power itself?

Hello I’m desperate about my good old 850s and thought, maybe someone can give me a tip here. I don’t know myself well (maybe it only drives because I love it so much) and unfortunately I haven’t found a decent workshop yet or someone who could advise me. My dear car got a new TÜV in August and drove until yesterday totally smooth. Unfortunately, the cooler is now worn off. The somewhat unromantic type from the workshop to which the ADAC has dragged me meant only: “Cylind head seal, the old box can be on the garbage. ????. So as I said, I’m very attached to the car. I only plugged in in in August 2000 Euro and not a good workshop. What do you think it’s worth taking money again? Maybe someone can help me further and has a recommendation for screwdrivers in the Munich area. Many thanks!!!

About 10 years ago, the ABS error “wheel sensor at the rear right” came in. A dear Forist then soldered me the control unit. Since then, I had rest. Now the ABS lamp lights up from time to time. I read the following with Delphi: 312 ABS wheel sensor at the front right – circle faulty 322 ABS wheel sensor at the front right – extrapolation counter 443 pump motor – electrical or mechanical error Then I reset the errors and drove another 10 minutes. The re-reading brought the error 312 (see above). What do you mean, is the controller again the first suspect in this error pattern?

Hello together I have a problem with my Volvo 850 built in 1993. And that’s when the radio has recently turned on and off. When I hit left the radio goes on at a certain point and when I put the steering wheel back on straight place the radio goes off. Sometimes the radio goes off completely and sometimes only the music. I have already looked if a cable rubs somewhere at the steering column. But that’s not the case. I hope someone can help me.

Hello dear MotorTalkCommunity! Thank you for getting into the forum. I’m standing in front of my first used car purchase, actually even the first visit ever? I’m looking for a car for a longer trip next year and I’m now convinced it’s supposed to be a Volvo 850 or V70-1. The price range is very wide, partly the massive price differences are also obvious to me, partly but also not. I assume that I have to invest a lot more before the trip anyway and therefore think about taking a cheaper, more worn vehicle as a base. Now I have found this offer in the neighborhood and arranged a visit:https://ssearch.mobile.de/vehicles/details.html?id=334535432 Do you think that the car is worth its price? I have the hope to push the price still a good bit. Do you have here tips for me how I can do so well? Do you have an approximate idea of which additional expenses I would have to start from? Since I’m unsure, I thought that after the visit I’d like to ask you a less in case that I’m not going to talk about a bit more about it.

Hello Volvo friends, I would like to buy a youngtimerlimousine from the 90s (possibly also early 2000s). The 9 series is awarded great quality, reliability and also very good rust prevention, is this also true for 850/S70? I am looking for a saloon with 5- or 6-cylinder gasoline in very good condition with the following minimum equipment: Safety: – ABS – Airbags for driver, passenger and side airbags – 3 3-point harnesses and headrests back Comfort: – Air conditioning – Central locking – Power steering The S80 I could theoretically be considered, but is it as good as a 960/S90 in terms of solidity and rust prevention?
