thing. try the black piece behind the bulb, where the bulb mounts to? mine was shorting out and causing it to blink really fast. http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1330193&rss=1 Fri, 6 Feb 2009 18:53 GMT use new spring clamps.. they work fine on silicone hoses too, just have to be careful. that's what i have right now, stylin's silicone hoses and new volvo spring clamps.. http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1302767&rss=1 Fri, 19 Sep 2008 17:43 GMT some have complained that aftermarket radiators may crack at the plastic parts. if it has lifetime warranty and it fits, may not be bad idea. http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1224080&rss=1 Wed, 10 Oct 2007 22:22 GMT i'm normally in the awd forum, but i've managed to setup a group buy for us.. so if any of u would like to join in, let me know! thanx http://www.zeitronix.com/gb/Volvo.htm http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=977064&rss=1 Tue, 28 Jun 2005 02:04 GMT i've managed to setup a group buy for us.. so if any of u would like to join in, let me know! thanx http://www.zeitronix.com/gb/Volvo.htm http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=977063&rss=1 Tue, 28 Jun 2005 02:03 GMT all 2005 volvo model ranges got a slight update. for p2 cars (excluding the c70, the new 2004.5 s40/v50) use the following 2.5L for base n/a 2.5L for lpt (such as those in awd, xc awd) 2.4L for hpt t5 2.5L for r ur t5 has 2.3L making 247 hp 2005 v70 t5 has 2.4L making 257 hp http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=865635&rss=1 Wed, 13 Oct 2004 07:42 GMT for some reason, i thought rich had put up another site for rwd repairs.. http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=865634&rss=1 Wed, 13 Oct 2004 07:25 GMT u can probably lift the front. get 98-00 v70 xc awd front springs. donno about the rear... it's different in awd than the delta-link http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=865633&rss=1 Wed, 13 Oct 2004 07:23 GMT mine squeak only when it's cold...like first 2 min in the morning. try applying the anti-squeal lube behind the brake pad and piston. also, there may be some shims u can obtain that go between the pad and the piston. u can lube those too...just make sure u don't get any on the rotor or the surface of the pad http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=832371&rss=1 Wed, 28 Jul 2004 05:37 GMT i would check for mounts... anyway, a worn out shock would result in endless up and down motion. push somewhere strong (not the sheet metal like the hood or something) in the front or in the rear.. if ur car goes down once and returns to normal height, they are ok. if ur car goes down and up excessively, it's a good sign the shocks or struts are bad. http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=823658&rss=1 Wed, 7 Jul 2004 08:57 GMT i've seen new fwd rims fit older rwd cars...but not the other way around... http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=819321&rss=1 Sat, 26 Jun 2004 16:45 GMT my front rotors lasted 40k miles... http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=818664&rss=1 Fri, 25 Jun 2004 02:16 GMT 1998 c70 coupe

supposedly similarly rated http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=817269&rss=1 Tue, 22 Jun 2004 05:48 GMT for the most part...yes. the rear speakers probably won't fit under the stock speaker grill...but it will fit in the hole. the front speakers is a toss-up...some on other forums have had no problem fitting them in. i on the otherhand, had to follow charles's writeup (http://www.volvospeed.com/Mods/kappa5_25.htm) and modify the metal hole in the door...basically enlarged it by trimming off about 1/4" of metal, sand it, and the repaint it. good thing no one sees it. the magent can now fit in the hole properly and it will then fit under the stock speaker grill. oh, if u do have to cut it...tape and mask everything else.. inside the panel too, try to collect all metal shavings... u could always get a shallow fit speaker, not sure if either of these two models u listed at the 5-1/4" size have the slim fit, where the magnet behind the speaker isn't as large, so it fits in tight spaces.. http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=817248&rss=1 Tue, 22 Jun 2004 04:21 GMT got some noise... when u r turning right into a driveway... when u have the wheels turned right, and when the right front wheel first gets compressed as u enter the driveway.... it makes a grinding/binding kind of noise... cv's maybe? http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=817232&rss=1 Tue, 22 Jun 2004 03:18 GMT yes. it works great. the car rotated a lot better/easier...didn't plow as much. mind u my wagon didn't come with anti-sway bar in the back http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=816762&rss=1 Mon, 21 Jun 2004 01:52 GMT don... there isn't supposed to be any 1994 850 glt... 1994 was offered in only base and turbo. 1994 850 turbo tested 6.1 and 14.7 in a mag...supposedly one of the fastest years of the 850 turbo cars... their intercooler piping is a little different, and there may be some small differences in software (not sure about this one).... but for 3000...doesn't seem like a bad price... one thing, make sure the wagon doesn't rattle. interior trim on the cargo hold isn't really all that well put together. http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=816487&rss=1 Sun, 20 Jun 2004 08:17 GMT i think it's the overseas deliver program...look there...think someone on another board mentioned something about it... http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=815291&rss=1 Thu, 17 Jun 2004 07:04 GMT novimats were offered as an option in 1994 on wagons only... was not aware they made any for 1995-1997 850... front struts are not novimats. u can always ask a local tech to tell u if ur car has novimats... novimats are load bearing shocks... http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=814803&rss=1 Wed, 16 Jun 2004 07:21 GMT i take it u have a 1997 model? ipd's overload spring is gonna be a little stiffer... make sure u don't have novimats in the back, if u do, the novimats may be shot. if u don't, then the old springs also may have given way... how many miles do u have? new stock springs may work as well... if u do happen to carry a lot of stuff..then the ipd overloads may be best for u...the trade off in ride shouldn't be that much... http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=814767&rss=1 Wed, 16 Jun 2004 04:06 GMT i forgot...u need to remove the cover for the red light on the rear door first before u pick up/lift up the door panel... http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=811030&rss=1 Tue, 8 Jun 2004 09:40 GMT is it a sony head unit that u got? there should be 4 pairs of speakers...4 channels front left: front left door + left dash front right: front right door + right dash rear left: rear left door + left tailgate/hatch pillar rear right: rear right door + right tailgate/hatch pillar the tailgate/hatch pillar is a tweeter...very small speaker, as is the dash what year is ur 850? obd 1 should be able to be reset manually, obd 2 needs a tool..obd 2 started in some 95 and 96 models.. it should not be a problem going to synthetic imo...but it seems like an issue that is fairly opinionated... http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=811029&rss=1 Tue, 8 Jun 2004 09:38 GMT no need to remove the panel. simply pull the speaker grill straight out away from the door. pull from the bottom of the speaker grill. if u do need to remove the door panel... 1) remove the small t25 (i think) torx screws (3) 2) remove the leather panel above the door handle by gently pulling it out away from the door 3) remove the larger torx screws (2) 4) u would need to remove the speaker grill, speaker, disconnect the wires to remove the door panel 5) remove the plastic door handle (pulls straight up) 6) pull the door panel straight up away from the ground.. http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=810135&rss=1 Sun, 6 Jun 2004 07:10 GMT yeah, one of the speaker pairs is 4 ohm while the other 3 pairs are 8 ohm, can't remember if that one is the front door or rear door... there is no external amp for most cars except the t5r and r models.. a quick check behind the headunit should tell u the story. look behind the headunit on the driver's side, there should be a 6-pin female receptor behind with "amp" above it... if u have a cable, there is an external amp somewhere in the car... if not, no external amp. if u wish for a simple replacement, don't be too worried about the odd ohm numbering...it hasn't affected that many people on other forums.. http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=808524&rss=1 Wed, 2 Jun 2004 08:31 GMT Use the text input below to search brickboard.com query http://www.brickboard.com/FIND/
