  • I've never done so much work and spent so much time on a $600 car. In this video, I'll show you Volvo 850 blend door repair, Volvo 850 temperature sensor fan repair, how to remove the Volvo 850 dash, Volvo 850 odometer repair and more! I'll also show you how to silence a loose dashboard and instrument cluster... I think!
    Be sure to let me know what you think. Leave a comment below!!

    32:40 - That's a probe adapter for a multimeter. You can use that to probe into the backside of a connector.

      Well. Cheap is relative. Not many other cars that old are actually still running. The plastics disintegrate, but the rest of the car runs forever.

    It's a needle probe Mike. The needle probe allows you to connect an oscilloscope or measuring probe to the contacts of the vehicle's electrical equipment. (same thing as a back probe) Back probes (also called back pinning) are an alternative method for piercing wire while still avoiding stripping or cutting wire insulation to access the conductor. The back probes needle contact tip is inserted in-between the wire insulation and the conductor to achieve instant connection.

    Hi Monkey Wrench Mike, you continue to amaze with your skills and tenacity. I had considered getting a Volvo in the past but after what you went through, I don't know. Anyway great vid and give Lola and Benzo some love from me. Keep it up but don't push yourself too much and remember to take care of your health. I just watched Randy's video on the Monte Carlo paint job and it turned out great and it sounds and runs great so I hope she gives you guys a nice uneventful power tour but don't forget some tools just in case. Have fun and thanks for the video. 😀✌❤

    @elitecass1453 3 месяца назад

    That's the reason why older cars and tech are so good when it breaks you normally just need to lubricate, clean or scrape a certain area and it works again on the other hand tech nowadays you need the whole thing new .

    I think the mystery part is a meat thermometer, like to test if your duck breast is cooked.

    Electric contact cleaner is either pure alcohol or acetone. You can use way way less. And applied to a Q-tip will be even less and it will clean great.

  • @topher8634

    What is your pressures with max AC, high fan? Low should be 35-40; high 200-275 (depending on how hot the ambient is and how dirty the condenser and radiator are) you may not be able to properly charge it by pressures though, if the blend doors are not working correctly. They need to be on full cold. Best to start with an empty system, under a vacuum and weigh in the specified amount. (There should be a sticker under the hood somewhere. Probably holds between 24 and 40 oz. Being a Volvo it's likely in grams)

    I don't see how you can stand that duck quacking in your ear while trying to concentrate on what you're doing. I get mad at traffic going by when I'm trying to work on the car, I can't imagine having that noise nonstop . You must be an incredibly patient person, or you're just a glutton for punishment. Still lovin' the content, I just have to mute the sound and use the CC. LOL

    My 98 S90 had a heater control valve on the firewall in the engine compartment. The vacume shuts it off when the engine is running and the heater shut off.
