Hello! I hope you can help me quickly and uncomplicatedly this time too… I was just about to leave with my 850er (BJ 95, 126 HP) and he doesn’t spit on anymore. Never happened!, this morning I drove quite normally. Like when a plug slipped somewhere… he started, I think, very briefly arrived and then went out again. But that was less than 1 sec. Some fuse through or something? If only I was in the ADAC…. Thanks for quick answers!

Hello. I need help in installing a good sound system in my 850 T5, sound should sound at least like the S/V/C70 with High Performance Dynaudio, it should stay as original as possible, but speakers can also be other brands. In my 850 are no speakers, no radio, but the cable is already installed original, but has no external amplifier inside. Is it true that the LS should be in dashboard tweeters, with front doors midrange, rear doors woofers and at the rear midranger? Which original Volvo Radio has an internal amplifier? Do you need an external amplifier if you would use the Volvo SC-9 radio or a radio with 4 times 50 watts to achieve the sound of the above mentioned vehicle? Which LS set would be best for my 850? At ebay many are available, but never complete, it is only for front doors or so. MfG and Beautiful weekend I wish you.

Moin Moin, have to make my 850 R a little faster. I’m looking for a proper tuning. I decided for the following components: – Chip Tuning – Downpipe with Kat – Sports exhaust – Sports air filter The brake system is already made and the chassis I left original except for a dome truss. I stepped on the tuners MR Sweden and BSR, which offer both complete packages. Does anyone have experience with these? The 330 PS packages are priced around 500,- EUR apart. Can it be that it is even the same software? The Downpipe with Kat should not actually be a witchcraft. Does anyone have an address where to make them?

Moin in the round, I know there are sound fetishists here… but, I’m looking for something simple…because I’m an original fetishist… want to throw out the old boxes and replace them with better ones… then let the original covers go over again… who has a tip for me? many thanks and relaxed week start…

Hello, I wanted to get a Volvo C70 Coupé of the 1st generation. Unfortunately I have not found any purchase advice via the search function yet, if this thread already exists, can post me vll jmd a link. Otherwise my questions: What to pay attention to especially at the C70 (~100000km) at the dealer purchase, what are known weak points that often need a repair and which should not be overlooked. What to pay attention to during a test drive. I was up to now long-standing Volvo 940 Turbo driver and wanted now on something even more sporty. Thanks for your help. Greetings

Last Friday, I had to say goodbye to my 850 from the bonnet. Arrived at work, hood up, look, crap! Cooler licked, and quite neatly. So after work, off to the workshop, made appointment. Thermostat and temperature sensor immediately change, both costs not the world and the temperature sensor is also still a candidate for the still sporadic Lambda error (2 – 3 – 2). Then in the afternoon the call of the workshop, that when pulling the hose to the balance tank had been discovered that the connection nipple had been torn. A new thermostat housing had to be pure. Well, I say, after 18 years and almost 300tkm, aluminum can already wear out. The following morning then another call: At the test ride, the large loading air hose was burst from LLK to the aluminum tube. I wondered now a little bit, since I had to wait for a new charge, but it had to wait for a test ride at once? At the pickup of the car it was then told me that it would not happen more often with a D-ray, but it had to be a big call from me.

In the Sunday newspaper there was an article about this thing: http://www.energiesparbuero-osnabrueck.de/fuel-saving.html I’ve read this before and I wonder if this really works, has any of you installed and tried such a part?

Hello, I’m a newcomer both in this forum and in terms of Volvo 850. Now I would like to buy a Volvo 850 for a long time and have found a T5-R that really appeals to me! Nevertheless, I would appreciate some useful hints about what I should generally consider when buying a T5-R, and if the offered T5-R could be worth its price, namely 5,990 Euro. Here are a few details about the car: 220,000 km (no replacement engine), black-metallic, first registration 12/94, two previous owners, gasoline, gear transmission, stitching, CD changer, full leather, regular maintenance, two tire sets, brakes and timing belts exchanged about 2 years ago. Gear and turbochargers have never been changed, but according to sellers information are flawless. Optimally looks very well maintained and according to sellers in a very good condition. I would be very grateful for tips!

… and I mean because of all that I have read here so far on the subject to be able to call the valve shaft seals as a culprit. For the first time, hello to everyone, I address myself to you with the following problem. The said vehicle is year 95, has about 300,000km on the clock and, well, smokes blue. Preferably when “sharp start up” after short idle time, the oil consumption is “a little” too high with about one litre on 1000km. I have not had the error memory read out so far, but the lamp for the Lambdasonde is burning permanently. So far as the (as I think) facts. I hope to remember the real time to think about it, so that I need someone who will take a little advantage of me in the necessary repair. I myself am by the way not a gifted screwdriver, also I have neither the necessary tool nor the necessary space, nor the real time to think about it. So, if there is a screwer among us from the Ruhr area, which has given me an extremely practical opportunity to perform the task of repairing for the best.

My wife gave me a new car, so my T5R has finished after 8 years. BJ 1995 KM 310.000 TÜV 12/2013 Automatic What do I do with it? Is a great car, but still has a few flaws: -climate harness has a wobbly contact, I already have a new one. -front/back apron and bonnet should be painted. -backrest driver seat without function (reparable). -the sitting dog smiles at the driver -automatic transmission should be flushed -Zahntriebel is due (parts all available, incl. water pump and toothed rib belt) The engine has been overhauled at 240.000 in 2006, including new pistons, bearings and turbo (without charge).
