Hello to all!
I'm the owner of a 1997 Volvo 850R Turbo. Purchased the car for my daughter to drive about a year ago and I ended up keeping it for myself.
Quickly had some bad experiences with the local Volvo dealership regarding repair issues and figured it was time for a mid-life crisis hobby. Been doing my own repairs with no experience under my belt – so far I've managed okay.
Currently trying to track down the drive cycle needed to get my monitors to read ready. My inspection is due this month and I reset the codes following a P0440 reading to see if it was something simple like the gas cap. Now I realize after driving it for a week that I still haven't completed what's needed for the monitors to read ready.
Anyway I digress, just wanted to say hello!

-Rob

Welcome. Pop on over to the 850 forum. You can probably get some help there.

Welcome to the forum, make sure to post technical questions in the vehicle-specific forums. And make sure to follow scheduled maintenance, especially the timing belt + pulleys & hydraulic tensioner at every 70,000 miles or 5 years.
