Im one of the new guys and new to the volvo thing. I just bought a 97 850 NA about 3 months ago for 1,600. The car is super clean inside and out with about 180,000 on it. So the first thing I do is google 97 volvo problems and the pcv thing comes up all over the place. I checked and had the smoking dipstick thing so i did the pcv kit repair. without turning this into a giant rant I wanna thank everyone for the post on the overly complicated pcv system without the post and pics I would have been screwed. Since the fix I havnt checked for the smoking dipstick ( kind of afraid to). Any how thanks so much to everyone on here Im gonna head to another section and post about my 0440 code on the evap got a feeling im gonna be dropping the gas tank. ive checked everything from the charcoal canister all the way back to the gas tank.
