Help meee!!!!!!
dallas, tx
i have a coolant leak on my '95 850. it leaks into the drivers and a little into the passengers side. oil leaking from the top of the engine. valve seals maybe? brakes squeak from 30-5 odometer stopped working today lol and other things i cant think of right now. i am willing to drive to get it fixed or somewhere where i can learn to work on it. i need/want to learn how to do it myself. http://hphotos-sjc1.fbcdn.net/hs384...._2808606_n.jpg :) :) :) |
might help to tell ppl where you are located

oh 20 miles north of dallas tx

First of all, everything you said is fixable. Can you elaborate on the comment, "it leaks into the drivers and a little into the passengers side." Is this leak inside the cabin or outside the cabin?

yes it is inside the cabin collecting on the floor mats. it is most likely the heater core but i have no idea how to get to the heater core so i can replace it.

oil leaks from the top of the engine might be a faulty gasket inside the engine fill cap. volvo recommends to replace these at every oil change. heater core location can be found in a haynes or chilton manual. as for the break squeal take the wheel off and clean the rotors with brake clean and a rag. check wear with dial caliper or tread depth gauge and replace as necessary. brakes can squeal from oil being splashed on them or a built in warning that the brakes are almost gone. my odometer stopped working as well. i fixed this by buying a odometer gear from ipdusa.com which came with written instructions and dvd. it stops working because one of the gear teeth in the odometer gear broke off inside the gauge cluster. the gear from ipd is made from a harder plastic and costs the same as a new one from the dealer
