Last fall I repaired my vacuum line to the cruise control that is located under the battery tray. This is reported to be a common failure on these cars. I think that the plastic hose hardens and cracks possibly from the battery overflow. ('95 850 GLT)

Also, I ordered two trunk struts from FPC Groton and was disappointed that they both bent within 2 months. I wound up getting two new struts from a local foreign car parts store. The ones I ordered from FPC Groton were about $18 each (no spoiler). The ones I ordered locally were made in Germany and were $46 each but seems to be holding up without any problem. (I have ordered many parts from FPC Groton without problems, but these trunk struts were a big disappointment.)
