Yep - a few hyperlinks to big places like EXHAUST but then they only have a picture with a few parts listed, like MUFFLER, CAT, Chrome TIp. I could go to the dealer but instead of getting a 40% online discount they tend to charge 40% over list. Silly but I'm looking for a screw and hanger part # as per the picture but that is only the tip of the iceburg. Somehow for my Audi's have have complete pdfs with part #s.

    You could go to your local dealer PARTS dept and ask for a printout with the part numbers. I have been known to bring some donuts after the first visit!!
    You could also buy a new oil filler cap seal for $8, just to make them happy.

    above link was from 3 years ago, Klaus gave some tips.

    Still if i can get this hanger I will , if not at least I have the bolts loose and will try to get it off the car, wire brush it, maybe convert rust with ospho , paint - make it last as long as possible. I need to get another 20 year out of this car. A shame if volvo has given up on this part. Plenty of 850s left in the world.

    The hanger arms on the tailpipe, well that was all replaced 8 years ago.

    I suppose I can always go beyond the discount web sites (click, click) and actually phone them (tasca) to have them help with the discount order and finding parts that are not necessary listed on the public order site.

      If it was me I'd call Borton. Tasca is great, but they handle several manufacturers of automobiles.

      The Borton 'guy' knows only Volvo, the Volvo part when you describe it, and he's ordered it a hundred times.

      Both are great, and I've been happy with service and prices. I use them both.
