Replying to: ous (Feb 24, 2009 12:53 pm) So I charged the battery in car with the wires attached. The old gal fired right up. And the code demand popped right up on the face of the radio. No mention of the code in the orginal owner's manual.   To the dealer it goes? Singing to myself is not an option as Spring is on the way and such a pretty season does not deserve such an ugly old voice.   OUS

I recently bought a 97-850 GLT Wagon with factory cassete and 6 disc changer in rear. CD changer went out but instead of repairing or replacing, I want to replace with in-dash OEM CD player. I would like to know if there are CD players from other Volvos that are compatible. Replies to this message: jr714 (Mar 16, 2009 5:21 pm)

Replying to: gborocb (Mar 16, 2009 8:17 am) My '96 850 Turbo Wagon came stock with the SC-815 Tape/CD Stereo. I recently sold it and bought the SC-816. I believe the 816 was stock on all 97's and newer and they were stock on V70's and S70's as well for a number of years. Once you see a picture, you can tell which ones to look for. They all look very similar, but the 815's I think came only in back, while the 816's came in grey also. The 816 is a more powerful unit, it has 25 watts more power and delivers a fuller, richer sound IMO.

Should have known better,but I bought 97 850 wag without having my mechanic check it out. Turns out I need to replace rear main seal. Have been quoted price. Need to know what is reasonable for this repair.
#486 of 491 crank but not start by ahatley Mar 23, 2009 (11:49 am)
When leaving 1994, 850 wagon for three days without starting, it will not start. It will turn over and with a long time at cranking, it will start to sputter. It usually takes a couple of fully charged batteries to get it going. It is getting spark and seems to have gas under pressure. Once it starts, all is ok again and it restarts. But leaving it a few days is the problem. any ideas.
#487 of 491 looking to buy 94 850 by bpiri Mar 30, 2009 (7:22 am)
I'm looking at a 850 wagon automatic trans. they say and the picutres look good. they mention the car isn't driven in the winter and keep in garage in Mass. They say its taken out once a month just to keep it up. Is there anything I should look at and learn about before buying this car? The price is low and they say all maintance has been done down to timing chain and rotors and tires.   Any suggestions would be very helpful. As we need a good car for my wife to get to and from work that will last and safe. They are only asking 2,600 + -obo.   thanks for reading

I AM POSITIVE i'll be a volvo fantic for life;)   http://jonasjonasjonasbrothers.com
