Maintaining an 850 850

posted by  someone claiming to be socno24 on  Wed Sep 13 09:43 CST 2006 [RELATED]

Starting in about a month or so, I will be driving a 95 850 wagon with about 130,000 miles. The car has been serviced by a mechanic since my parents purchased it new. Now that I'll be driving it, I plan to maintain it. I will probably pick up a service manual. Will it have everything that I will need to know?

The first thing that I plan on doing is checking the motor mounts because the car vibrates a lot. I also want to find a solution to the trunk not staying open on its own. Another issue is that the ABS light is always illuminated upon cranking. The makeshift solution is to jiggle the key and then it goes away. If there is a relatively inexpensive solution to this I will probably do it. The AC is also broken and I want to look into fixing it. The center arm rest in the rear doesn't fold down all the way. I am afraid to use force because I don't want to break it off. I am sure that there are several other issues that I am overlooking at the moment.

In addition to the issues that I mentioned, what should I check when I get the car? What should I be on the lookout for? What maintenance schedule should I follow?

Thanks in advance
