New Purchase 850 1994

An Alpine 6 Disc CD Changer is possible, but you will need an adapter available at most reputable mobile sound system shops.

I did the same thing with my 94 850 turbo and it works excellent. I burned my own cd's and squeezed 20-24 songs on each disc... I therefore have close to 150 songs available... pretty nice as it keeps the repetition down.

Check the vacuum hoses as described on Volvospeed.com

Also check the hoses that lead to the IAC (Under that black plastic cover ahead and to the right of the engine.) They crack and benefit from replacement.

I also replaced the engine stabilizer mount located rear and right of the engine. I used the IPD (ipdusa.com) and although it's probably a little more stiff than oem, it was a very easy install (30 minutes tops only because I had limited tools).

Don't let the codes fool you... you will get errant codes referring to o2 sensors when it could quite possible be vacuum leaks... If you want to spend money wisely, get a good Independent Volvo mechanic to replace all pertinent vacuum lines... A good one will know exactly which ones and where. You gotta support the "indies" for without them it would be cost-prohibitive to own a Volvo for many people, based simply on repair costs.


Make good use of this board's seach feature, as many questions you may have, might already have been asked and discussed here...
