Thank you Klaus fro giving me the location but when you say the codes will go away when "I fix it", how do I fix it? Do I need to replace those parts with new ones? (pedal sensor & stop switch) http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1384440&rss=1 Fri, 6 Nov 2009 12:32 GMT My ABS light has been going off and on intermittently lately and I finally just got a chance to pull the codes. There were two and they were 1-4-1 and 1-4-2. If I have the definitions correct they should be as follows: 141= Faulty pedal sensor: shorted to ground or supply. 142= Faulty stop (Brake) lamp switch: open circuit Do these codes signify that I need to replace the pedal sensor and stop lamp switch? Not even sure where these would be located. P.S. Can someone also clarify for me again the proper sequence to clear any codes? http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1384368&rss=1 Thu, 5 Nov 2009 23:35 GMT Thanks for the info Klaus! What would be the best way to find out whether the cooler hose is at the top or bottom? Call the dealer? http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1383596&rss=1 Mon, 2 Nov 2009 12:27 GMT Hello all, I am normally over on the 850 board but I have a question today for my co-worker who owns a S60 (T-2.5). He wants to knows how dificult is it to change the automatic transmission fluid in this car? It has 103,000 miles on it and when he recently went to the dealer and asked them to change it, they told him that Volvo's never need the AT fluid changed. Boy is that a joke as I found out the hard way myself with my 850 that it is wise to change it when it starts to look black in color. Please let me know if this is fairly easy. Thanks! http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1383178&rss=1 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 11:47 GMT When I depress my driver's side window auto button and the window begins to move down and then abruptly halts about 1/3 of the way down and then only keeps moving if I press and hold the button again, is this a sign that the motor is about to die? Or is there another possible cause. http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1376703&rss=1 Fri, 2 Oct 2009 16:02 GMT Thank you much for the information Ozark. http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1374555&rss=1 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 13:03 GMT Wooah! Just got a quote from FCP Groton on the two p/n's. 6818224= $70 6818223= $5 Sure hope it's the $5 part I need. http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1374339&rss=1 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 14:03 GMT Thaks Ozark for your response. Can you help me one step further by telling me maybe which of these two parts (the latch or latch brace) would be considered the "U" shaped hook. This "U" shaped hook is what I sawed thru and nothing else was damaged. http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1374321&rss=1 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 13:16 GMT O.K., I hacksawed my way thru my damn glove box and now wonder if anyone has some OE part numbers for me? Or at least which part(s) I need to replace. I hacked thru that little u shaped piece of hardware so obviously I will need that. http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1374055&rss=1 Mon, 21 Sep 2009 11:23 GMT Left my sunroof open (tilted not glass retracted) overnight and this morning an odd tHing happened. When I closed it down it was fine but when I tried retracting the glass back into the roof body it would not move. It made some funny sounds like it was trying to move but would not. I have never lubricated the rails or any moving part since owning this car for 8 years. Now a day later it moves back within the roof. If I have to lubricate the rails or working parts, how do you get access and what type of lubricant is best? Thanks! http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1369736&rss=1 Wed, 2 Sep 2009 20:16 GMT Looks like I will need a new RHS drive axle and wondered with all the info I have read from past posts, is there an aftermarket brand that is actually pretty good? Seems like there is a lot of junk out there and I don't want to have my Indy charge me twice for labor. http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1358412&rss=1 Mon, 6 Jul 2009 19:29 GMT Will, 188,000 original miles. Don't they call these half-shafts? How much for one of these babies and are they interchangeable from right to left? http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1356260&rss=1 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 12:29 GMT I haven't had a chance to get the car over to my Indy mechanic for a look but can anyone give me their opinion as to what might this sound be? Just lately whenever I pull out of the driveway and cut the steering wheel hard, as I acclerate and the wheel returns back to straight I hear a click, click, click type of sound that I believe is coming from the wheel hub area. Any thoughts as to what this may be? Thanks! http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1356003&rss=1 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 11:51 GMT steelydev, Thanks for your response. The only thing I want to be sure about is when you "carefully hacksaw the strike (U-shaped wire) that the latch hooks into". Can you actually see what you are attempting to cut or is it a guess? Are the screws that hold the face to the backplate on the inside? Did you use a "fine" hacksaw blade by itself, with no handle? http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1355089&rss=1 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 16:17 GMT Klaus, from this photo can you specifically tell me where the so called "U bolt" lies so I could actually cut it and nothing else? Unfortunately I could not copy,paste just the photo. They are the 4th & 5th photo fom the top. http://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/glovebox_fix_850.php http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1354770&rss=1 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 10:17 GMT O.K. it looks like I have the good 'ole locked/jammed glove box. I saw this fix (http://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/glovebox_fix_850.php) but it looks like it leaves the front of your glove box all butchered up. Whta is the best way to go? The hacksaw blade dealio? Can anyone tell me why this happens anyway? I mean if something breaks usually it would break open right, not locked...... http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1354652&rss=1 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 17:46 GMT The brake lights are fine especially since my Indy replaced a bulb or two during the annual state safety inspection. I cleared the codes but did not go back in and see if the codes were still there. This morning when I started the engine, without moving, the ABS light came back on but only briefly before it went out. Strange.... http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1349866&rss=1 Thu, 21 May 2009 11:14 GMT Just pulled five (5) ABS codes from socket A3 after my ABS idiot light went on recently. Can anyone enlighten me as to what they really mean to me as far as repairs or cleaning up something first? _____________________________________________________________________________ 142= Stop lamp switch faulty 211= No left/front wheel signal on moving off 212= No right/front wheel signal on moving off 213= No left/rear wheel signal on moving off 214= No right/rear wheel signal on moving off A couple of tips here, the car recently needed new front rotors and pads and they were all replaced by my local Indy. The car has 188,000 miles on it and this is the first time I have ever had the ABS light come on. (1995 854 GLT) http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1349823&rss=1 Thu, 21 May 2009 00:02 GMT What do I clean it with, carb cleaner? http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1345337&rss=1 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 19:53 GMT Hello all, Just pulled a 2-4-1 code (EGR Flow is too low) from my 854. Wondered if anyone has an opinion as to what this might mean to me? Curiously the "CHECK ENGINE" light came on shortly after my recent visit to my Indy mechanic for the annual State Inspection and Emissions testing. http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1345315&rss=1 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 17:36 GMT LilHelpHere, I am running the standard 15" aluminum wheels that came on the car. Tire size is 195/60R15. http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1345095&rss=1 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 13:04 GMT LilHelpHere, Can you tell me what the torque specs are for the 850 so I can give them to my Indy mechanic when he installs them? http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1345091&rss=1 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 12:22 GMT Klaus, I know you respond a lot here on this board and many of us greatly appreciate your comments but even though I noticed your smiley at the end of the sentence, "Remind me not to ride with you" some of us out here are on a very tight budget and we do our best to keep our Volvo's in top running condition. We are in a DEEP recession right now. Thanks much for your reeponse. http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1344926&rss=1 Mon, 20 Apr 2009 16:41 GMT Can any of you guys tell me which of these brand rotors you would go for for your Volvo? I would rather not spend the $156 for two OE Volvo ones unless some of you can give a thumbs up on any of the others. OE Volvo= $78.00 ea. ATE= $49.50 ea. Brembo= $47.00 Zimmermann= $144.00 for set. http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1344893&rss=1 Mon, 20 Apr 2009 14:50 GMT REP, thanks much for all the detailed information. Now all I need to do is come up with the cash! http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1344880&rss=1 Mon, 20 Apr 2009 13:43 GMT Use the text input below to search brickboard.com query http://www.brickboard.com/FIND/
