All dash warning lights are on! 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be Juan P. on  Fri Apr 11 16:43 CST 2008 [RELATED]


I will assume you don't know the true mileage because of a non-functioning odometer, right?

As per your daughter's maintenance habits, you really should teach her how to maintain her Volvo(s) on a consistent, rigorous basis. 850s, as we all know, are not Chevy Celebrities or Honda Accords where you can just drive and ignore things. My own 850 ('96 base) is still in mint condition and I'll admit, I service the car beyond what the book calls for. I use Mobil 1 synthetic oil, change the belts/hoses before their specific interval, and wash/wax the car every other day whether it needs it or not.

Speaking of which, I need to take out that 850 soon. It's been in storage since November so I don't know if the battery's dead or something. But it stays in a heated garage at my parents' house so that's a good thing. Got 84k on it.
