Sunshine asked:


I have to let my 1983 Volvo idle (for the first couple of minutes with my foot on the gas) for about 7-10 minutes before it will drive without stalling. After it gets past that point, it rides like a dream. What can I do to decrease the warm-up/idle time? Adjust the idle? Something with the throttle? Help!
I just bought the car last week, but I think it’s been at least a year since it had a tune-up. Would that help?

MRJS asked:


My Volvo 850 coolant indicator light comes on occasionally.

The heat gauge is up a little more than usual.

The reservoir has some coolant in it.

I noticed that there is no radiator cap.

I also noticed the sticker says to only use Volvo coolant. Is that true?

With fluid in the reservior why would the indicator light be coming on?

I recently saw a 1964 Volvo P1800 for sale. I was wondering, what one of these usually sells for. I tried Kelley Blue Book and Auto Trader, but to no success.
