1995 Volvo 850 Turbo 2.3l *mechanics Special* on 2040-cars
Melbourne, Florida, United States

First the bad news: The car is currently NOT running. It was my daily driver until a heater hose blew out on the highway (heater core was bypassed) and overheated the engine and snapped the timing belt. The cylinder head is warped and the valves are most likely bent. The cylinder head needs to be replaced and or machined and rebuild.
Now for the good news. Other than the engine not running the car is in good cosmetic condition. Paint is fine with a few blemishes, there is a 3/4" x 1.5" area with rust bubbling up under the paint on the side of the roof (see photo). The windows, sunroof, radio, automatic transmission and other electrical components were working fine when the car overheated. The air conditioner did work, however it would only run on full blast, not sure why. The interior is in good shape considering its a '95. The leather seats are worn, however there are no major holes in them, just normal expected wear and tear. With a new cylinder head this would make a great safe and reasonably fuel efficient (21-23mpg) daily driver. I was planning on driving this 850 for many more years, over 300,000 miles, unfortunately, the blown heater hose prevented that. Would also make a good parts car...lots of good parts on this one. 4 speed automatic transmission with sport mode, power sunroof, power windows, tinted windows, 15" alloy wheels, tilt wheel, cruise control, power driver seat, front and side air bags. New front & rear brake pads 900 miles ago, recently replaced motor mount. Keep in mind this car is not running and you will need a trailer to haul it away. I can deliver it to a location in Melbourne, FL & NW or NE Palm Bay, FL for an additional $75. I'm not able to deliver very far from 32901, if you are slightly further out we can discuss a delivery price. Full payment (car and delivery) must be made before delivery. |

Volvo calls in S60 T5 over oil pressure indicator
Mon, 30 Dec 2013As anyone with a driver's license should be able to tell you, the oil pressure indicator on a car is a vital feature. If you don't have enough oil pressure, your engine could seize up, leaving you stranded and causing catastrophic damage for both your automobile and your wallet. Worryingly, then, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that the oil pressure indicator lamp on certain Volvo S60 models is prone to failure, prompting the manufacturer to issue a recall.
The issue pertains to MY2011-2012 Volvo S60s with turbocharged five-cylinder engines manufactured between June 22, 2010 and May 14, 2012. All told, precisely 30,929 units are affected by the recall campaign. The owners of affected models will be notified by Volvo to bring in their cars to their local dealer for a software update. See the official notice below for details.
Next Polestar Volvo sounds great, whatever it is
Fri, 15 Nov 2013Something - we don't know what yet - is coming from Polestar. While we'll be recovering from next week's LA Auto Show and Tokyo Motor Show (and starting to slack off ahead of an extended Thanksgiving weekend), the official tuner of Volvo products has announced plans to unveil its latest creation in less than two weeks.
Based on this video teaser, we can only imagine (and hope) that it's the souped-up Volvo V60 recently caught testing by our spy shooters. The idea of a high-performance Volvo wagon was already enough to get us giddy last month, but the exhaust note in this video is downright captivating. Scroll down to watch the teaser for yourself, and be prepared for some bright blue wagony goodness to be revealed on November 26.
