Hi Robert ,from Australia.Am currently looking to buy an 850 for my son as his first car, after doing research on them the safety and reliability fits the ticket.The car is a non turbo 850 one owner ,full service history with receipts.Only issue is the odo stopped working recently. Your channel is a help for situations like this. Cheers and all the best!
Heya Robert! I just fixed my odometer but noticed that the pointer on the fuel gauge is pointing slightly under full on a full tank, and it rests farther than the empty mark when the car is off. Would I have to go back in and readjust the pointer somehow?
Hi Robert, that worked a treat. Thanks so much for the great tutorial. One thing, the SRS light now won't go out. I checked that the air bag connector is plugged in. Does it need to be reset?
Just to mention - on my '95 there are two more screws that need to be removed - between the digital cluster and the warning lights on either side. It's a VDO, but slightly different than yours, with black back panel. Maybe the european version is slightly different than what they sent to US market.
Hi again, Robert. I recently repaired the odometer gear. However, now none of my gauges are working, tachometer, gas gauge, speedometer, and cooling gauge. I have a 95 model non turbo. After driving the car, the transmission arrow light came on and started flashing. Any suggestions?
Hi Robert great vid as usual. However (it may be mentioned later down in comments) but, On my 1994 T5 at least, you also need to remove the two similar gold coloured screws at each corner of the instrument light collections. If that makes sense? Cheers
Hi Robert, You helped me before on a question on my 1996 VOLVO 960. The issue Now is that I Smell Gasoline when I am Stopped while Driving. A friend sad, that he Thought it could be the fuel injector Seals that are "leaking". But I have Looked under the Hood and there is No Visible Sign of any "leaks. Could this be the cause, and How do I repair it , if possible, or must I take it to a mechanic or the dealer ?? Morgan Sorensen ( Biblical Theologian )
Hi Robert, greetings from Costa Rica. I have a 1993 Volvo 850 GLT that does not mark the speed in velocimeter shows the revolutions the level of gasoline and temperature but not the speed. How can I solve that? Thanks!
Probably has a bad speed sensor or bad wire going into the top of the odometer cluster. Is the transmission shifting properly? If so, it's likely a wire at the cluster issue.

@@RobertDIY Yes, the transmission is 5 -speed manual, it works well.
Hello Robert, I can´t find your video for the best way to correcting the mileage. Link is not working. I have to add over 110 000 km on my 96 volvo and I am wondering how to do it without damaging the mechanism or wasting too much time. Thank you so much for great videos, you are doing so much for us volvo enthusiasts. Bless you, greetings from Slovakia.
Im gonna do this to my 850, and i think this really will hjelp, thank you! I Asked a man on Facebook for this and what price it would be without the shipping and it was 4995kr = 517,13USD im not gonna pay that😂
id love to see if there is any way of switching out, soley for my leisure, my MPH to KMPH spedometer, is it possible, but more so, to the point/problem, after installing my audio deck, at times my spedometer just doesnt work... no clue why, happens randomly. thankfully the audio deck displays my speed.
I just bought T5 again after 10 year without it, and your videos helped me again Sir! You did a very good job man, thank you so much
Glad I could help!
Thanks a lot, I can repair my 850 T5 myself by following your videos
Glad to help
Thank you, my man. Also love that you have a Pittsburgh Steeler hat on.
LOL
Hugely helpful - thank you, Robert!
Very welcome!

Did you watch the video? It usually rest below.
Hi Robert, that worked a treat. Thanks so much for the great tutorial. One thing, the SRS light now won't go out. I checked that the air bag connector is plugged in. Does it need to be reset?
So you pulled the dash pad without disconnecting the battery?
@@RobertDIY No, I disconnected the battery first.
Just to mention - on my '95 there are two more screws that need to be removed - between the digital cluster and the warning lights on either side.
It's a VDO, but slightly different than yours, with black back panel. Maybe the european version is slightly different than what they sent to US market.

the gear can be installed upside down too, it will work for about 2m then quit- and you have to do it all over again
Ouch
Your blessing brother Bless you and your family, By the way really love The videos
thank you very much.
Thank you. 👍🏻🏴🇬🇧
you are welcome.
Thanks Robert.
Mine is broken on the 740.
Looks to be too much trouble for me but now I have some idea of the procedure.
Thank You
much easier on a 740.
@@RobertDIY is there a diagram showing the differences?
Did you pull the cluster and look?
@@RobertDIY Not yet.
The odometer and water temperature sensor are inoperable.
I'll have to get a t10 before that.
Common issue is loose screws on the back of the cluster.

yep.
Hi Robert
I have replaced 850 both cogs but the millimeter doesn't start straight away only after 25 miles then it's fine any ideas
no sir.

I have the outside temp reader out on my meter, I want to find that, and change all the lights.
Gotcha
Stupid me bought an odometer gear a few months back but ended up losing it before getting to replace it...
I've probably lost a few of those myself.
I need to know about a 2000 mine is electric
Huh?
Does this also work on a 96 960? The odometer has never worked since owning the car. Its stuck at 86k
I don't know.
