Hi everyone, just want to say that I am a newbie in here so be gentle with me, lol. I have owned my 850 T-5 for a while now and love it to bits, it does have a few little issues but she is running great, safe reliable and fast, what more do u want from a car.
Bad bits- Think the lambda sensor is gone as I have a diagnostics light on dash that is on all the time. The turbo leaks a little (but at least there is oil getting to it), and sometimes when I put my foot down it goes like stink and then other times it just doesn't (could this be turbo pressure). Any answers to these queries would be great, again please be gentle as I am only a newbie. Thanks everyone, Dean

Welcome to the forum I hope you enjoy your time here. They call me Xpiece, mealx, piece man, and piece. Take a look around and search for questions if you would like. Most of these questions are already answered for you. As for these I can not provide any help.

Welcome Dean.

Any histories about the car you wanna share with us?
What about the periodic maintenance items? Are they on schedule?

Hi dixiet5. Welcome to the forum.

I suggest you get the fault codes read to see what is causing your lambda lights to turn on. That would be a good start.

Anyways, glad to know you are enjoying your ride.

:grin:

Hi dixiet5.

Nice to have you aboard. You will find a vast amount of information and assistance available on this forum to assist to get the utmost enjoyment out of your Volvo.

While some of us have enjoyed great runs others have experienced frustration with annoying problems however, even allowing for all of this, we share one thing in common - an unabashed affection for the little old 850.

Hope you enjoy your stay with us. :00000732:

Cry me a river "little old 850" haha. :grouphug:

just another welcome from the resident kook. :grin: lit bigdaddy posted, have the codes read that way you have a base from which to start your repairs. if poss, like the bear posted, what have you done, etc. and post some pics so that we can all drool over your T5, we've all drooled over each others 850's and need new meat. :haha: welcome and glad to have you on board.

as a internationally-known chef, you should be cautious when he says "new meat".

:haha:

anyways, i can vouch that this is one of the most informative orums on 850s, as well as friendly company. u came to the right place, dixiet5! enjoy your stay!
