1994 Volvo 850 2,5 20V 1994

After extensive work we give up intimidated. This Volvo was thought to be the first car for our junior, but because we can't even do welding work, it's now sold.

The Volvo has a complete history with TÜV reports and invoices. In autumn last year alone, clutch, toothed belts, mufflers, axle cuffs and multiples for 3000 were replaced and the year before there was a new ignition coil and battery. etc.

When we took the Volvo from an old lady this summer, the ABS lamp was constantly lit. So I blinded the mistake and found it. ABS sensor rear right. I have replaced both rear sensors and the complete braking system (see photo), the left torn hand brake cable has also been renewed. When removing the threshold cover and jacking on neighbor's stage then the frightening. Threshold left under the rear door is through. An external threshold costs about 130 at Skandix. The rest of the hole is flick work for which you need to weld. Since I can't do this and nobody wants to make it for little money in the area, at least for us here is over.

Other defects I noticed: The sunroof can be lifted and lowered, but recently not returned. The sky above the driver dissolves easily. Air conditioning is without function. The Volvo Guard alarm system has repeatedly hit, so I have built the relay and now is quiet.

The good Goodyear winter tires and the chic wooden steering wheel remain positive. The Volvo is unsubscribed. If he doesn't leave at the price, he'll stay as a spare part store for my 850.

The fact that the old lady pulled a lot of money out of the bag last year without mentioning the expensive, tüv-relevant ABS repair and the grate on the sill shows how the workshops are now on it.

On request, there were still pictures from under there as well.
