I have an 850 10V 2.5, 1994. Owned from new, 77,000 miles. Volvo service to 40,000 or so. Well looked after until last 2 years when annual mileage dropped to <4K and maintenance minimal - oil filter plugs, airfilter, brake bleeding only.
Only one problem over 10 years - camshaft position sensor failed 9 months ago.
Current problem - went to start car which normally takes on first crank. Slight popping sound heard and engine turns but doesn't fire.
I have checked spark to all 5 plugs, cambelt not broken and smells as though there's petrol but no life. Oil level was very low at time of problem - right at bottom of range.
I haven't been able to check compression yet.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
