Flame trap trouble? 850 1997

posted by  someone claiming to be Jorgen on  Sat Mar 9 07:08 CST 2002 [RELATED]

The old flametrap was "missing" because there shouldnīt be any. This is an official Volvo servicebulletin to remove the flametrap, because it increases the crankcasepressure to much which causes the crankshaftsealing to leak. I have
just had both front and rearsealings replaced on my 850 so this I know for sure. Itīs a very very expensive repair but mine was covered by an insurance.
So remove the flametrap immediately again to save You money and trouble. This oilclogg in the housing is normal and nothing to worry about. It comes from the
evakuated air in the crankcase.
