150k service: should I try doing it myself? 850 94

posted by  someone claiming to be Bruce Englar on  Sun May 13 18:55 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I've inherited a '94 850, (AT, no turbo). The service light is on. An earlier discussion had instructions for resetting the service light (http://www.volvospeed.com/850slight.htm), thanks.

What is involved in the 150k service? The dealer wants about $750. I'd rather send the money to my kid's college. I'm a pretty experienced shade tree mechanic on 240s and 740s: timing belt, valve adjustment, clutch replacement, transmission swap, the usual stuff I'm comfortable with. But this is the first 5-cylinder engine I've had. (Also the first front wheel drive car, the first transverse mounted engine, the first automatic transmission -- but it was a gift so I'm not complaining...)

Is the 150k service something that I should tackle, or should I start saving money to pay the dealer?

Thanks for the help.
