Tech bulletin is TNN37-27-2004-03-12 DIM Software

30677020

This is the technical bulletin and software part number to fix this apparently. Mine does it too but can't justify the cost really,...

physically will bolt up ok but may have as mentioned above either different ride highes or spring rates. I know my 850 saloon sat lower than a mates equivalent estate. Worth a go though if the price...

check front suspension, mainly drop links and wishbones.

Most expensive item to check is whether the car has ever had a clutch / flywheel as this will set you back lost of £ to do (just done mine...

You'll be ok but for others I thing the 850 saloon has a slightly different towbar too as the rear of the car is a bit shorter.

that is some dedicatino to make it RWD!! surprising how much more room in the engine bay there is with it the other way round. Looks like its an auto gone in it.

thanks for the above. had the bolt issue on my previous 850 so familiar with that. Did torque them up the other night just to be sure but they were ok. I'm pretty sure now the cvs are ok, car is in...

Had a proper play last night with the car on stands and wheel jacked up to normal hight so its off the ground. CVs seem on with little or no movement, however there is a 1-2mm lateral (i.e left...

Am having odd vibrations under acceleration in a manual D5, I suspect it may be an inner CV tripod joint going.

With the car on the ground I can tug and tag the drivers side shaft and there is no...

i'd guess load rating may be different, they definitely have a different part number on them. The saloon springs sit a bit lower too i believe, not 100% sure though. Can you send them back? if not...

i can find out if you have the chassis code of both cars. I would guess though that they are different. cars with auto & aircon have different springs to manual ones due to the weight. Also depends...

Also the S only came with the basic cd / radio as standard with no dolby surround and 4*25w amp. SE adds 4*50w & surround - although as mentioned above some S models will have been spec'd up to...

on the electrics there are spade terminals on the backs of the clusters where you can pick up the indicator, fog and reverse light feeds without tapping into any cables. The brakes and running lights...

V70 one is a different shape to the S70 and would look a bit daft. There are a few S70 AWDs knocking about with the twin exit bumper which looks pretty cool, I'd be tempted with one of those if I had...

The genuine volvo ones are slightly different for the C70, as mentioned above its due to bumper clearance etc physically they will bolt up but you may either have the ball too close to the bumper or...

re seats, providing they are both either pre 1999 or both 1999 they are interchangeable. Both years used a different air bag system although the actual seat covers will still be the same. Wiring...

possibly, it might be the ECU limits the boost during a gear change to stop spiking and the consequent cutting out for a split second. A friends old 850 T5 auto spiked during gear changes with an mbc...

SRS should work ok if the light is off. Could be a bad contact ring - this is what connects the steering wheel airbag to the wiring loom, they can wear out - mine has so light is on all the time...

do you mean the kick plates in chrome that say either 'Volvo' or '850'? if these then fitment is the same. If you mean the large plastic sill cover that runs from one wheel arch to another then yes...

the tool number is 9995497 if any one is interested :) I too had thought about changing the complete rear axle, not too much of a job but you need a bit of time and plenty of space!

you can buy that tool from volvo, its about £30.

Still after a bit for the bumper :) have you still got that bit knocking about Tomcat? Hoping to get it done before the summer. If anyone is close to Sudbury (Suffolk) I don't mind coming and picking...

Keep positive Gary :) I hope it all works out to your favour in the end

on the rear light clusters on my V70 I have spare connectors for fog light, reverse light and both indicators - not sure if the 850 is the same but worth a look, all you'd need to do then is put a...

might seem a daft question but what is the advantage of the R clutch?

any idea how much a set is from either Volvo or where ever people are getting them from? mine isn't too bad at the moment it stays up but you have to put it there. might do them early next year.
