#441 of 491 Re: Volvo versus plymouth? [momonly] by black850 Dec 07, 2007 (7:51 am)
Replying to: momonly (Jun 10, 2007 1:54 pm) In the used market there are many Volvos with 250,000 miles or more that are still commanding 'big bucks'. For that to happen, two things have to be present: the cars have durable drivetrains, and the have to be cosmetically acceptable eg no rust. The Horizon was not a good car when new and likely only worth more than scape metal pound rate because it 'only' has 40,000 miles on it. Eather car will likely get another 50,000 miles out of them which is more than you will drive them before getting a different car, so the desision is what is left of mid-size luxury for a couple of years or econobox junk when new for $500 more.

#442 of 491 Volvo 850 Wagon filling up with water! by jim199 Dec 09, 2007 (7:24 am)
I have owned a 97 Volvo 850 Wagon for over 5 years without ever having an interior water leak. Recently I have had 2 inches of water on the passenger side but the drivers side was dry and then just the opposite water on the drivers side and not the passenger side. Both sides are dry now even after a heavy rain but my wife made this comment to me; "while you were gone last we had a heavy rain and when I was driving the car I thought I heard water sloshing around" The last time I had work done on the car was last summer when I had the AC repaired and the evaporator replaced. Could there be any correlation between replacing the AC and my current leak problem? Replies to this message: volvofamily (Nov 27, 2008 8:28 am)

#445 of 491 crank-no start by 850 Jan 14, 2008 (11:52 am)
I have an 850 turbo that cranks, but won;t start. when i turn the key i don;t hear the usual ticking noise.. Vehicle has a new starter and i checked power to the starter, alt and to the ignition. I'm at a loss and can't seem to find any issues. I've ripped through the wiring looking for bad grounds and cut wires. So far i can;t find anything wrong. Any ideas on wear to go from here? i tried accessing codes from under the hood with side "A" pin six and the socket is dead. all other sockets will retrieve codes though. i have a newer cam sensor and rpm sensor. any help would be grateful thanks mark.

Replying to: 850 (Jan 14, 2008 11:52 am) a cam sensor fixed the one i was working on, however i was told that the temp sensor would also have a no spark as well. good luck Replies to this message: 850 (Jan 14, 2008 11:24 pm)

Replying to: ocfj40 (Jan 14, 2008 1:39 pm) I just replaced the cam sensor about a month and a half ago. The car had a crank no start like it does now. The wierd part about it all is that i ohm'd out the new and old cam sensor and they were the same reading. I still went ahead and installed the new cam sensor and the vehicle fired up. I"m puzzled and feel like i'm chasing a ghost. I hate to bring it to a shop, but my manual is pretty basic. Well thank you for your insight. Mark

my 850 wagon reversing lights have suddenly ceased to operate. Where is the reversing light switch in these cars. I suspect it is in the gear box which will be a real hassle to replace. THere are not bulb warning lights on the dash so I suspect the switch.

Replying to: volvomax (May 24, 2004 1:46 pm) Does anyone know how to replace the Turbo Oil Return Seal? I took it to a dealer to get checked out for codes, and when I got it back I had a great oil leak from the return line of the turbo. Part is $3.90 and Labor is $95.00 at the dealer.
#450 of 491 intermittent nothing by donaldf May 01, 2008 (12:12 pm)
I have a 97 850 wagon that has recently developed a strange problem. Occasionaly, when the car is started, there are no h/lites, no turn signals, no speedo ,the electric shift release does not work. Is there a relay that affects these areas or a possible loose connection? This is my wifes car and I have to fix it NOW. And all the married men said amen. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. Donald in louisiana Replies to this message: rafterdude (May 09, 2008 9:53 am)
