Some Questions regarding 850 GLT 2.5 l 20V

Elk

Hi There!!
A while ago i bought that nice car and i never had a Volvo before, not here in WA and not in Germany where i come from.
The car just runs fine and it is a nice feeling driving it,but there are some issues:

I scrolled here through different posts and it seems that some of them are quite common:

1.Coolant leaks and the level drops fast and i can see some wet hoses but not the actual dripping. I read here that somebody replaced all hoses with silicon hoses (he was refering to "Ben") My question: Is there anywhere a set of these silicon hoses? On Ebay maybe or would somebody recommend a certain set of these hoses??

2. It is slightly blowing out oil. The rocker cover looks oily and i reckon it is the gasket there. the cables and the master break cylinder (i hope that is correct) look filthy, too. I try to upload some pics later.

I am looking for a glass for my right indicator, does anybody have something to offer.

Like i said before, i really like that car and i hope i can get some advice here.

little bit about me:

I am 46, mechanically minded, working as a pump fitter and i must say say i do not know all technical expressions for the parts........well but i certainly hope that you can figure out what i mean..)))))

Thank you and i really hope that i get to meet some of you in the future!!!

cheers

Hi Manfred and welcome!
The oil pressure is probably the pcv or crankcase ventilation system being blocked with crud. A good symptom for this is watching the dipstick tube with the out for puffs of smoke or if this isn't conclusive it can blow up a balloon if you seal it well.

Hi egads!
Thanks for your advice!! I watched some Youtube videos and will check my PCV tomorrow and then i will see if it is blocked. There is another Video how to fix that issue.
Thanks again!!!!

PCV is done and no more oil spill..........cheers!!!!

Hey that is good to hear! Is your 850 a wagon (in German I think you'd say 'kombi')? If so I have a nice set of V70 tail lights you might like :) they replace the orange glass (lens) with a clear lens, it looks nicer :P
