I am looking for the part the holds the grills on the front of the car. Just picked up this Amazon and the lady who owned it before used a ford explorer as her brakes when the brakes went on the Amazon. The fenders are a little bent, but may be able to bang those out. The center part however is toast. Anyone even know where to look for this part? -- 97 854 T5 http://www.brickboard.com/PICKNPULL/?id=1357850&rss=1 Thu, 2 Jul 2009 19:14 GMT I would bet that it is your sway bar links. I had a similar problem last week, the previous month it was driving me crazy, I swore up and down that NTB had no idea how to balance a tire. I went to three different places to get them balanced to no avail. Finally I did some research on Volvospeed.com and found that a high speed vibration can be caused by sway bar links. Got them both at a parts shop for 45 bucks and put them in. Perfect drives like its on glass. http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=898323&rss=1 Tue, 28 Dec 2004 20:36 GMT I had a similar problem with my t5, the actual spring inside the door cracked in half and I had no resistance to hold the door open. The fix was simple I took off the door panel and removed the spring mecahnism. I got the part at a local volvo yard for twenty bucks and just screwed it right back in. It was really simple, took me about 1/2 hour to fix. -- 97 854 T5 http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=753835&rss=1 Fri, 13 Feb 2004 15:13 GMT This weekend I went to two different dealers in Atlanta looking for two parts that I am having trouble locating on the Web. One part is the short hose that attaches correctly to the throttle body and has a smaller diameter hose coming off that. The dealer wanted $116 for it, does that sound riduculous to anyone else, its all of six inches long! For $217 I can get a whole turbo hose kit from Samco that comes with all five hoses and its a better quality hose. The second parts were oil cooler lines, mine are leaking where the rubber is crimped into the metal part of the line. They wanted $180 for those two lines, once again is that ridiculous or what? Any personal experinces would greatly be appreciated, thanks. -- 97 854 T5 http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=728711&rss=1 Mon, 29 Dec 2003 20:12 GMT I have a 97 t5 and I know exactly what you are talking about, so far I have just moved it back and forth real quick and that stops it for a few days. One saturday I will actually look at it, but I have been really busy lately. Personally its not that big of a problem for me, I just turn up my stereo. -- 97 854 T5 http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=726066&rss=1 Mon, 22 Dec 2003 21:12 GMT Voluparts on Howell Mill has a lot of parts also there is a volvo junkyard on the corner of Howell Mill and Chattahoochie. -- 97 854 T5 http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=470904&rss=1 Thu, 16 May 2002 20:48 GMT I know of two places in downtown Atlanta where you can buy used or salvaged parts. They are both right near each other on Howell Mill off 75. One is Volparts and they are a very reliable and honest store. I have had three volvs and been going there for years. The other is a slavage store right off chattahoochie near howell mill. I am not real sure of the name, but it is a volvo junk yard with lots of old 700s but also some newer cars. If you have any questions about directions or anything else you can email me at gte284h@prism.gatech.edu. -- 97 854 T5 http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=438561&rss=1 Thu, 28 Feb 2002 02:53 GMT When I bought my car I had a similar problem, but the piece of vinyl had not broken off yet just peeled up on its side. I went to my local Ace and picked up some black gasket sealant made by dap. It came with a little nozzle similar to a chaulk gun and I cut it to 1/8". I just slid it under the vinyl and put a small bead down the enter piece of trim. I pressed it down and I have had no more problems. My dad has an 850 took his through a pressure car wash and his peeled up. He used contact cement, but that was a bigger mess, and mine looks better.
