new to Volvo, 93 850 questions 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Jack on  Wed Feb 25 05:15 CST 2004 [RELATED]

The tapping you are hearing is most likely the injectors, all 850 injectors make a clicking sound. Also a friend of mine who owns a small chain of independent tranny shops (he's good and he's honest) told me some time ago that it is much easier on an auto transmission to drive it in the selector position just below OD while driving about town. The OD is there to get the fuel mileage required by the govt. So I always drive in 3 around town and 4 on the freeway unless traffic is slow and heavy, then I back it down to 3.

I think the 850 is the last of the great Volvos before Ford pollution set in...

96 850 Turbo
