Hello, since I have now also bought additional headlights, I wanted to ask you what experience you have made with the additional headlights and washstands? I did not have the original Volvo solution but the “Biltema” solution, i.e. : holding console behind license plates, relay circuit and 9″ headlights with stabilizing rods.

Hello, for a few weeks I have been searching the www for information about the above-mentioned vehicles. After I asked my question a few weeks ago in the Hecktriebler forum, I was interested in what you are guessing for. We think about buying a second car for small money (about 1,000 – 2,000 €) with a little patience. Despite the low one-strip price we want (of course) a most reliable vehicle as possible. It’s about a gasoline truck for working 12 km (simple distance) which is also supposed to pull our caravan (1,500 kg). So these are the specifications. For the 850 it seems that the offer is larger within the approximate scope of the mentioned budget. Also the vehicles consume a little less? The 940 seems to be even more robust compared to that. Also, due repairs are cheaper. How is the opinion of those experienced with old Swedes? What engine and what years of year would you advise on one or the other? I look forward to your opinion!

So, my 850 10v EZ10/95 has now also the ABS light problem with estimated 350,000km. Once after the start stopped and after a few minutes went out again, the next start it stayed on and lights up since then. After this can hardly be overlooked here in the forum, I did not worry at first –> Steuergrät solderen! Brav with the 4mm-six-edge three screws at the STG solved, in order to then miserably despair at number 4 (the most difficult to reach) then… I have now certainly 5 different hexagonal nuts, a Torx-screw with levers, various pliers and actually the correct outer torx-nut from the car mechanician tried out. The screw does not open! The head just seems to be too round… Now the question, to people who have built the control device apart already times: Is it in your opinion a way (manage?) to get the thing out without having to unscrew the screw and without destroying the board or other important parts is actually to be destroyed?

Hello forum, I don’t have to give it a key when I buy from the cabrio. Saying from the seller: “I don’t know if my father has ever had one?” Ok, I didn’t think it was bad, I took that from the winter V70 and let him learn. Have looked here and on the Internet a bit and nowhere found a source that says that the radio remote control was standard equipment. I didn’t want to take up the dashboard on suspicion. Fortunately I got a receiver now and wanted to start programming. I packed the receiver and then drove to the next district with (former contract) Volvo workshop. Small booth, some 850s and X70s on the farm, I thought, here you are right. Young man at the reception, actually quite friendly. “Hello, I would like to let the key be taught here today, but I don’t know if I need to have one more computer.” “So easy that’s not, there we have to make a appointment”.

Hello dear community, I would like to buy my moose new seats. Can you tell me if the seats of a Volvo 850 (front seats and rear bench) fit into a 97 V70 2.5 celebration? How elaborate and complicated is the installation and installation? Is there a guide for this somewhere? Thank you and many greetings, Holger

Hello, have installed the 850 with immobilizer pen from VDO 4638-9162608-03. Don’t sprinkle any more. With a long start then a light 1-3 cylinders run out and then again. Ignition sparks are on. Injection nozzles only slightly inject a then no more at all? Petrol pressure 3 bar. I guess now that it is at the immobilizer, or do I see this wrong?

Hello again. I hope you can help me. I have the following problem: As soon as the charging pressure indicator is in the middle and the turbo should be in use, it accelerates enormously power – it accelerates much slower than it should. Sometimes it is also short. Error code is not stored. What could be the cause? I think of something like solenoid valve for turbo control (N75) but measured it and the values fit. Membrane of the wastegate works.(tested with pressure pump) Mention the car still runs normally in idle run. Also when driving as long as the effect of the turbo does not use. Recently it was completely maintained…. was made: *Service incl. oil change, petrol filter… *complete ignition system new *dish belt incl. water pump *all vacuum hoses new *complete charging air penetration new *new air mass meter *new camshaft sensor *new turbo (18T) *crank housing ventilation incl. all hoses new *dail seal new, exhaust manifold seal new *complete charging air seal new *complete charging air seal new *new air pressure meter *new air meter *new air meter *new air meter *new air sensor *new air sensor *new air sensor sensor *new air sensor *new air sensor *new air filter *new air filter *new air filter

Hi, I got my Volvo 850 2.5 20V with 170 hp again the nen buddy now about 2.5 years, because he does not need it anymore, but somehow he has no power. In advance, I bought the car about 3.5 years ago, according to Tacho he had run at that time about 310T the KM counter stood but there already, then I drove about 25T and my buddy 2.5 years loosely 75T, so he already ran clearly over 400T. The engine still runs as I got it at that time, he really did not have power at that time, he runs with downhill and back wind 170 to 180 KM/h and does not accelerate really fast. The tooth belt is new a year ago, my buddy had made it once and spark plugs also, it can not be that, the engine runs very well, I would say, no clapping in the stand he really runs great and very calmly grasps like a thick V8 am therefore really surprised. Oil consumption was and is still very high 1 liter on 1T he does not have a clue about the performance.

Hi all, I got my v70I (year 96) three years ago in December. short time Later (January) my fan got off and I quickly bought and installed one at Polar Parts. At that time I didn’t know this forum or vehicle parts Albert 😉 and it had to go fast because we had only one car. This year we have a second car (a 12 year old golf), whose heating keeps the windows free without any problems, while with my elk the heating has to run on full gas! I can’t imagine that this was so from the beginning! Can that be that the cheap fans also have less power?

As already announced a few days ago, I had the need to disassemble an automatic gearbox, more precisely an AW 50-42 completely to see what it looks like inside. One thing in advance: the gearbox was already defective before the disassembly, which hurt the loss – I still have one here anyway. Pictures say more than 1000 words, so see even photo 1 = the first look after opening the housing photo 2 = fast was the first wheel removed photo 3 = inside view of the remote wheel photo 4 = the plate wheel is removed photo 5 = plate wheel (back side) photo 6 = the often mentioned internal oil filter photo 7 = detailed view of the switch lock “P” photo 8 = planetary set of the secondary shaft photo 9 = the gear control box with the sensors photo 10 = the mechanical control panel photo 11 = brake housing photo 12 = one of the 4 brakes photo 13 = the so-called sun wheel photo 14 = the seat of the sun wheel photo 15 = all individual parts at a glance photo 16 = all individual parts at a glance (from the other side)
