Hello dear people, I have to look around for an alternative to my 9-5 station wagon (kid car doesn’t fit in the trunk), because I thought I could see what the other Swede could do. (-: I looked at 2 V70 today, year 2000 and 2002, unfortunately I don’t know the equipment lines. In itself nice cars, very spacious. What made me with both of them but the driver seats were quite soft for my taste. Therefore the question: are the seats generally softer upholstered with Volvo, or did both cars happen to have heavy-weight previous owners? Thanks in advance and many greetings, Hans

The fact that Xenon is not a topic for the 850 has already been made clear here. However, the LED technology should not be so elaborate. Therefore my question: Could LED for the 850 become a topic with regard to retrofitting?

Hello. I changed the one axe cuff today! The screw was fixed!! I took two hours until I had everything loose. That’s why I only made the one side where it was already sniffing out. For reasons of time!! The rest comes the days. And then I look for two (favorable) nivomates.! Mfg.Stig

Hello, it’s time again… Slowly the snow disappears and what do my eyes see? Oil stains as far as the eye can see, even the cat of our neighbours resembles a Dalmatian 😉 But seriously, where does it come from? Everything is full. Of course you have to clean it up and then observe it, but are there predestined places? Somehow it looks like the oil comes from the turbo… And what is that for a seal over the oil pan seal? Somehow this moose doesn’t like me so much Thanks already for your help, or at least encouraging words Greeting Pascal

I’m not sure if it’s actually a t5r. After some research on the differences between the 850r and the 850t5r which are quite repeatable, I would like to ask again. On the facts. 1.In the vehicle registration is 850 T-5R WW.850 R 2.The identification number is YV1LW5806 (Kombi) 3.The engine is a 2319cm3 166KW gasoline engine with automatic 4.The engine has the 30 seconds 177KW overboost (is registered in the papers) 5.First registration was at the beginning of 1996 6.The car color is black , or graphite metallic 7.He has the original titanium rims incl. replacement wheel 8.Recommendation 1:The seats have Alcantara on the surfaces, sides leather. 9.Recommendation 2:The steering wheel is covered with light grey leather at the bottom, not with Alcantara 10.Recommendation 3:The middle armrest is related to leather 11.The car has no level regulation.

Hello, in December I installed a new battery. According to ADAC Test 1st, the battery with 88 Amp. of Moll for 157 €. The old one had already started problems around the freezing point and it was time to install a new one.In February then the big surprise, when it got really crisp cold, came the big release. Up to – 8 C. everything OK.But everything that was colder, and there were several days I had to make at least 7 or 8 start attempts until it sprang up. Horrible was that the battery became weaker by the many orglings. Now a colleague told me that it could be due to the controller of the light engine, he was right with it? And how do I fix the error?

MOIN MOIN my remote control does’s, despite battery change, no more! does someone of you have one for sale or a tip, where I could get an original remote control? the VOLVO dealer would have to do the programming then, or? thank you in advance for the trouble! GRUSS, nils

Hello, there are a lot of threads on the topics “suspension dampers” and “springs”, but my possibly quite simple question is not answered: If my moose (or many other cars from a certain age) hangs something in the back knee (he has already driven 260tkm far), i.e. he lies lower in the back than in the front (without charge or similar), then it is to blame: a) the shock absorbers b) the springs c) shock absorbers and springs d) none of them, there must be something else (e.g. the lead stocks in the trunk) I am very grateful for the answers.

Hello, have found this insert while browsing on autoscouthttp://www.autoscout24.de/Details.aspx?id=222705865&asrc=st There stands Volvo 850 T5-R with 2.0 Turbo now my question can be true because my guess is in the abbreviation yes T5 and then there would have been the T5-R only with the 226 hp engine ? Thank you in advance

hello together, look nice longer after a 850er combi. not so easy to find something here near. I once picked out here, what do you think about it, may hear your opinion. the salesman says he needs 2-3 liter oil on 600 km. can be a smallness, or not. am looking forward to your opinions.www.ebay.de/itm/130803701819 many thanks, gruß micha
