There's a guy selling remotes on eBay including ones for an 850. He's from Canada but we're all honest up here so it should be good :-) I think you can find...
Candice, Dumb question, but have you replaced the battery in the remote? Also, I wouldn't worry much about the ABS light until it comes on and stays on. You...
Hi Ben and D. Williams, Yes, I bought fresh batteries (not a dumb question). I don't know if I would trust my car at the auto parts stores around here (even if...
... For what it's worth, I had the ABS light come on when the alternator became intermittent on my 950. Apparently as the battery voltage sagged it was the...
Mike, I subsequently had the alternator replaced (after going up the mountain), but the light has come back on! My mechanic says that I should buy an S 60 ...
I still have this problem with my 760. The gas gauge stopped working, thumping had no effect. I took it to my mechanic who told me it was the sending unit in...
My current theory is that either the gauge or the PCB on the back of the cluster. There is also an electronic component on the cluster which seems to share a...
There's a voltage regulator on the back of the speedo cluster that powers both the temperature & gas gauges. If it's bad, they'll both act squirrelly. The gas...
can someone help me? my 1990 240 is having problems going into reverse. i put it in reverse and it takes maybe 2 to 10 seconds to engage. is this minor or...
Why don't you just pick up a used cluster from a salvage yard? You can transfer your original speedo to it if you are worried about keeping the mileage...
Haven't fixed that in my Volvo (it's standard) but I had a GM truck that used to do that. Usually it was because the tranny fluid was low, so I would just top...
I would take it and have a new filter installed and all of the old fluid flushed. If you are lucky it is just a gnarly old filter causing a delay in fluid...
... can transfer your original speedo to it if you are worried about keeping the mileage correct. ... Well, therein lies the rub. I pulled a 740 cluster and a...
If you're smelling it inside the car, there's probably a tiny leak in the heater core. I'd try a good stop leak (like Alumaseal) before deciding to do the...
Once the cluster is out, the gas gauge is readily removable - something like 3 screws. It's electrically connected to the main PCB by a simple pressure...
Sorry, meant to say the smell is from underhood. I did the heater core about a year ago. I put my pressure tester on the coolant bottle , but it wouldn’t...
I kind of thought it was a big job to take the dash apart and remove the instrument cluster. I'm considering doing it as a weekend type project if I get...
I haven’t done it for a while, but just getting the 740 instrument cluster out isn’t that hard at all. It’s not ‘take the whole dash apart’ at all I...
The Volvo manuals come in little sections - the full set is enormous (& enormously expensive.) For basic stuff, the Haynes manual covers a lot of things well...
Hi roy, thanks for the info. That’s what I thought – sections, and the whole set is expensive. When I have to I just go to my dealer and they let me look...
I think it depends on the year. On my '87, the instrument cluster comes right out when you remove the 2 screws under the little plastic covers at either side...
Ah ha, on my 88 it’s the same way, quite easy. ... From: volvo_owners@yahoogroups.com [mailto:volvo_owners@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of roylowenthal Sent:...
I forgot to mention that I added a new thermostat, 87C versus the 71C unit I replaced. I'm not saying it was bad but someone didn't know what they were doing...
I have a 96 850 non-turbo that my Wife drives. I was moving it into the garage when the bakes peddle went to the floor. I have a 2x6 that is stopped the car...
Mark, It could be that your m/c is leaking, but its also very possible that the leak is elsewhere, so I would get the car up on jackstands and take all 4...
I'm watching different Alpine car stereo units on Ebay.Can someone tell me what the Alpine numbering system for their cassette decks means?I'm assuming that...
You should inspect the rest of the brake system first, calipers, hoses etc. Or ..you ‘could/should’ …. If you do remove the master cylinder, check inside...
