The Volvo 850 does not have a non-interference engine. This means that if the timing belt breaks, then serious internal engine damage will inevitably occur.
To replace the thermostat housing on a 1994 Volvo 850, first ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the battery. Drain the coolant, then remove the hoses connected to the thermostat housing and unscrew the housing from the engine block. Replace the old housing with a new one, ensuring a proper seal with a new gasket, then reattach the hoses and refill the coolant. Finally, reconnect the battery and start the engine to check for leaks.
Oil mixing into the coolant of your Volvo 850 typically indicates a head gasket failure, which allows oil and coolant to mix due to a breach in the gasket. It could also be caused by a cracked engine block or a damaged cylinder head. This issue can lead to severe engine damage if not addressed promptly, so it’s essential to have your vehicle inspected and repaired by a qualified mechanic. Regular maintenance can help prevent such problems from arising.
I had a split in the coolant hose that goes to the turbo. It sits down behind the engine and next to the firewall. It was very expensive to replace the hose and labor intensive because of how difficult it was to get to it..
To install a block heater in a Volvo 850, first ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the battery. Locate the freeze plug on the engine block, as the heater will replace this plug; you may need to drain some coolant. Remove the freeze plug and install the block heater according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring a tight fit and proper seal. Finally, reconnect the battery, refill the coolant if necessary, and test the heater by plugging it in before starting the engine.
Bosch, it's the best one for a 200 Volvo
