hmm 100k and the seal are going...well no suprise on the 850, but then again for them to go at 150k would be no suprise on a RWD volvo either....

yes its weak design..but o nmthe other hand assuming that you average 2000rpm..and you average 50mph...

100,000 / 50 = 2000 hours *2000 rpm 4 MILLION rotations..now when put like that it doesnt seem so bad i guess..

my tame mechanic says ALL 850's eat seals 50k-200k all depends on the maintenance...and LUCK
