Auto Transmission warning light
The continuing story of restoring my 1996 850 T5, ref transmission warning light. I decided to go the whole hog and swap the box for a second hand one. The seller seems genuine, I travelled to Wales in storm Dennis to collect it. he had numerous 850 & V70 spares including a stack of front wings, which I also plundered with glee. Anyway I have started to strip out the old box, following useful post from Mathews Volvo site. I had only flushed the oil & replaced it about 30 miles ago, when the light first came on, so I was surprised to see that the oil was already dark brown. So I guess it was on its way out anyway. The s/h box had pink oil coming out of it, so I am hoping that is a good sign & not just that it had been put in when it was stripped out of the original car. But then I have always been cynical.
I will keep posting with updates........
