    Does it need oil putting in it, apparently your gearbox didn't.

    Thanks Jamesy, I had asked my local main stealer for a price a while back, told them it was an awd 850 and asked for a price for the rear diff oil, after a while he came an asked whether it was the gearbox oil I wanted, I said no it's the rear diff oil and he then replied, but there all fwd, call ended there....numpty or what, to be fair to him I couldn't give a reg or chassis no. at the time.

    I found there was not much info when asking for parts for my 850 AWD. Plus some of the parts that were fitted to the x70 range made it onto the 850 AWD (like the steering rack/track rods had the bigger diameter thread which took multiple trips to the local motor factors to sort out)

    Definitely a numpty, wouldn't take long to look up the model on their computer without a chassis or reg no.

    Your right there Dave, I was on the phone long enough,that he could probably have looked up an obscure part no. on a space shuttle solid rocket booster with just 1982 Challenger as the info....lol

    Is there a manual out there for the AWD's and R AWD's of some sort ?? or is it a case of learn as you go ??

    Most info I got was from Volvo's service manuals, though that is sometimes wrong too. There isn't too much that you can't get around though, it's pretty easy for a mechanically savvy person.

    Oh and the rear brakes have two types of pads listed too (just for the AWD), must have been changed on the later cars. Little bits like that, or accessing the fuel pumps is impossible without dropping the whole rear suspension and fuel tank or by cutting a hole in the floorpan.

    So as I thought learn as you go then...lol.....I knew about the fuel pump lack of access for a while now and that that brake pipe are all hidden by the rwd diff/suspension set up, so has to be dropped the replace them too...!!

    Fingers crossed the brake pipes never need to be changed :-S

    AWD has passed the MOT with flying colours and then has developed a naughty little petrol leak, somewhere in the region for the top of the drivers side fuel tank, that may not be to fun to sort, with all that awd gear in the way to see where it is coming from, my guess is a fuel return hose as it isn't a big leak, will get it over the pit later and have a look. I did enjoy my first real drive in her since I got her all those months ago, I don't think there is a rear diff issue, but there may well be an angle gear problem building, a few grumbles on the drives to and from the test centre.

    Well she's no the road, and what a nice comfy drive she is too. But not without so niggles, as I was told when I purchased her , there is an AWD issue but it seems it me not the rear diff, but possibly the centre one. There's definitely some shot mountings and an oil change may help, but the problem isn't constant and a bit hit and miss to which turn it happens on. Will have her over the pit shortly to get to the bottom of this issue.
