In Topic: What To Clean/adjust, Hard Start.

Could be a fuel issue, maybe the fuel pump is starting to go. Need to do a pressure check to confirm that. I've had to replace the fuel pressure regulator on one of our 850s and it fixed the slow start problem.

In Topic: Front Brake Pad Recommendation?

08 February 2012 - 02:14 PM

I have the akebonos on both of our 850 wagons. They are a little pricey, but the thing I like about them is they are quiet (many others are not) and at the same time, they don't have the black dust that the Volvo pads have. The black dust from the volvo pads drove me crazy.

Cylinder # 4 2.9K ohms ±20%

Just for reference, some folks have done the oil pump seals and it fixed a similar sound. Can't be sure it was the exact same issue as yours, but worth reading this thread:

In Topic: What Material For Replacement Bolt?

Okay thanks. I thought there was some issue with differing metals and corrosion or something when used with the aluminum. I'll get stainless if they have them at the hardware store.
