    knock sensors 850 1994

    I had my knock sensor replaced a couple of months ago at an independent
    Volvo garage & it works just fine. Volvo has a special repair kit(I'm sorry,
    I don't have the part number). Evidently, this is the second repair kit from
    Volvo to fix this problem. The first kit did not work. I'm wondering if you
    got the first one? The cost of the part is about $90 but it's a lot of work
    to replace as the manifold has to be removed in order to access the sensors.
    Total cost part + labor--$350. The mechanics said the second repair kit looks
    different than the first so maybe you can use that info to get the correct one.
    My car is a '94 850 turbo wagon with 87K miles.
    Good luck--Don in Denver

    knock sensor code.....need ECU 850 1994

    Yep, in '94 850Ts the problem is NOT really the knock sensors, it's a problem inside your fuel ECU. Get a used ECU (~$250 if you can find one) and the problem will be gone. It's a unique problem that I've seen with many '94 850Ts over the years and EVERY time it's cured completely with another ECU.

      Will an ECU from a '95 turbo work in a '94? (To avoid having the same problem again.) I'm at the end my patience with my CE light. It's on every other day.
