Default New to Volvos

Howzit bradahs and sistahs. My name is Vick and I reside in sunny Southern California. I am originally from the Mariana Islands and left because I joined the Marine Corps doing two tours in Iraq. I now have a family and bought this car for my wife because she wanted a family wagon. We bought it used and it has a bunch of problems forcing me to create an account here.

I am not new to the auto scene. I am a mech/tech and have an AA in this field. I've owned a few cars and did all the work to them. Sadly, the Volvo has the most problems i've ever encountered but i'm sure that with a little patience, some wrench turning and with the help of you wonderful people, we could get all of it situated.

Thank you for giving me a chance to introduce myself. Looking forward to the benefits of being a member in this forum.

What sort of problems are you having? Post the list and see what comes back. I live in Anaheim and frequently drive around helping Volvo owners.

Very, very few turbo sticks in the USA. I have a library full of video's for the P80 Volvo's. Maybe you can find solutions for most of your problems.

The CEL light just came on and I have a misfire code on cylinders 4 and 3.
Also, I have a lot of cosmetic stuff to take care of but that could all be sorted in time.
