"Rear Brake Pads Problems on 1997 Volvo 850"

1997 Volvo 850 Sedan

I just have to put rear brake pads on my 97 Volvo 850 Sedan. When I go to drive it and I go to brake both of the rear brakes squeak very loudly. But 10 minutes later, they do not squeak. It is as if the brake fluid is not always to the rear brakes. Brake fluid is full. Would this problems caused by rotors or could be the mechanic put the wrong pads in or other things it could be?

"How To Diagnose The ‘Check Engine’ Light on 1992 Volvo 940 Turbo"

1992 Volvo 940 Turbo Wagon

I recently bought an 1992 Volvo 940 Turbo 940 wagon. It needs a lot of work, but I am prepared to spend some money and lots of time on this car. After a few days I’ve discovered some problems- The oil pressure light flickers occasionally at low speed idle. I believe the oil pump is suspect, and plan to change this unless someone has had this problem and had a different remedy. My second problem is that the check engine light is on. Occasionally the light goes out when I pull on the e-brake handle, then comes back on when releasing it (I think there maybe a glitch in the dash / electrical causing that). Is there a way to read the codes without a diagnostic scan tool? Third, after unlocking the driver’s door and opening it, the power lock system makes a lock unlock lock unlock type sound- I think it’s coming from the rear hatch? Could this be a door wiring harness problem? Fourth, the rear hatch wiper occasionally doesn’t ‘park’ flat like it should. Any suggestions?
