Older 850 (what happens if...) 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be chris on  Tue Nov 6 02:18 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Greetings,

As my white-motored wonder gets older (130K), I've been wondering what to expect if and when the following items go bad:

A.) Auto Climate control. If it goes bad in a big way, can I just use it manually or replace it with a manual unit? Is the evaporator coil a nightmare to get to?

B.) ABS system. I've read that the CU is about $400 (dealer) How about the rest of it? How long do they usually last?

C.) Main ECU. Are there used ones around? Do they fail?

Any other items to be concerned with? (I know about the auto tranny and the turbo)

Thanks -Chris

'95 855T
