to all volvo 850 owners hidden rust please read
Following on from the thread about the rust hiding behind the rear wheel arches by diplomat2.6, I think all 850 owners need to read the article in the sticky about hidden rust. It is one of the last articles at the moment. The reason I mention this is because this is becoming a real issue, as now after 22 years or more, this hidden rust problem is just starting to rear its ugly head in a big way. The rust is such that it can be hiding for years without anyone really noticing, but only evident when the plastic liners are removed.
If these cars need to survive the next generation it needs tackling now. Most should just get away with grinding back and rust treatment, but if left for a couple more years will scrap most of these cars off completely. Be warned!
