Hi guys, I noticed now in the heat that the radiator fan doesn’t start in our car. Car is a V70 I petrol bj99 with air conditioning. The air conditioning hasn’t been running for a while. The coolant temperature on the display never goes over the middle, remains rather below. That’s a bit strange, because that’s how it is in the traffic jam, the temperature doesn’t have to go up there if the fan doesn’t run?. Temperature goes relatively quickly after 3-5km to just below the center. Heating is running, cooler hoses are all warm as well. How do I best check what it is or what can I replace? Or can I somehow connect the fan so that it runs permanently? Would be better than not at all.- Greeting Carni

Moin, think about getting me a 850 station wagon. What you’re reading is real long-term cars, which you can also buy with 280,000km on the clock and then drive for a few years. Little rust, extremely stable technology, even the exhaust system should last almost 10 years… Since I’m more of a suitable type, I place more value on reliability and lower consumption than on full boost at speed 200… So it’s clear that a turbo is out of the question. Which engine i The 2.0l with 125hp or the 2.5l with 145hp? Does one of these two DOHC five-cylinder weak points? I would be grateful for your tips and experiences with your 850s! LG histomatic

Good morning, someone has – in another forum – claimed that the electronic immobilizers (these terrible things that disqualify my elk as an escape vehicle in bank robberies) are “…to crack an experienced carcracker in less than 3 minutes”! Apart from the question of which “experienced carcracker” wants to steal a 16 year old 850 – is that true? I wish you all a happy, sunny Easter PS: I don’t want a recipe – just want to know if it True

Hello, I’m looking for a stay again after a V70 2.5 d switch. Only all the vehicles I’ve longed for have a fancy mileage (was out of the favorite check booklets when you call at the workshops) I wanted to know, however, if it is possible to get the leaching power of the vehicle (since Schekheft and invoices are not always available), I always hear different opinions, but most say the e I have to say that by now I have been quite shaky, that almost 100% of the Volvos I have seen have changed the running performance!!! Slowly you are really inclined to Paraneua!! 4000 expensive for a twelve to fifteen year old car with 400 000 km I don’t want to spend either! Thanks in advance for your opinions Jojo

Hello together, I have a problem with the fuel display of my Volvo 850 (built in 96, km stand: 518tkm). The display is either empty or fully suspended, although the tank is definitely not filled accordingly. I have already researched, but so far without success. My question: Could it be that the exchange of the tanker fixes the problem? Has any of you already had similar experiences and can say whether the problem has been solved? Or is there perhaps other Ursa , which I should check before I exchange the tanker? Thank you in advance for all tips and experiences!

Hello together, so slowly I look around again for a V70 I. I had one with the electronic MM-Rosselklappe and wonder if I should also take the mechanical throttle models into the search. The problem with the MM-Dk is known to me, but I would rely on the overhaul for 200 € at this specialist company. I would not take a car with DK problems (empty running problems) or burning engine warning light anyway, so only a clean working e MM-DK. Why do I even ask: I absolutely want a car with cruise control again. Now the mechanical DK is also mechanical, and then I wonder if the mechnaic cruise control is as good as the electronic one. Unfortunately, I have no comparison. What do the people with mechanical cruise control say, is it usable or rather sluggish? Is the maintenance prone (low pressure anything)?

Hello friends, I saw a picture here in the forum when I was browsing, where one had installed a drink holder in the DIN box under or above the radio. Unfortunately I can’t find the picture anymore, otherwise I would write the person directly to. At least I ordered a can holder from SEAT now and it is already there. I haven’t started the installation yet, this is supposed to happen next week. My question is now to those who have installed such a part. I’m grateful for your help. In the appendix a picture of an auction so that you know what I mean. Greetings Janko PS: I chose the variant because the middle backrests are so piggy-backed and would disturb me when switching the bottle. I found a very good solution in the golf, for example…

Hello together My 850er kombi needs new tires. Since I’m going to Azerbaijan next January (with a breaker to Syria), further around the Caspian Sea and then back up, I also need tires with which one can “get through” well. Does anyone have any experience in the 850er Kombi Höferlegung? The whole thing is to become a somewhat more terrain-friendly car. We certainly don’t need to discuss the meaningfulness of this project here, I just need helpful hints. I’m grateful for any advice. YIHA!

Hello people, with my recently acquired Volvo 850 2.0 10 V (“Italy version”, retrofitted with gas system, I received the following answer on request from the Volvo customer service for the conversion from E2 to Euro2: “…Unfortunately your Volvo is retrofitted to operation with liquefied petroleum gas. Against this background we do not have any documentation on the exhaust gas behaviour of your vehicle and for this reason we cannot issue a certificate for the possible re-encryption. Your understanding. …” I’m used to a lot, but where’s the point? Should I take out the gas system now, re-encrypt it and install it again? Or could I do an exhaust test at the TÜV? Has anyone ever had this case before, what could I do? Greetings ytcruiser
