Replying to: volvomax (Dec 19, 2004 11:11 am) What if i install (ceramic or kevlar) brake pads like "EBC GREENSTUFF".Are they produce less dust and could be a good replacement? Replies to this message: volvomax (Dec 21, 2004 8:27 am)

Replying to: turbboy (Dec 20, 2004 10:12 am) Well, that depends. Cost of the pads then becomes an issue. Also, how well do the pads perform? Volvo brake rotors are thinner than most, if the brake pads don't disipate heat effectively they will warp the rotors.
#350 of 491 850 Wagon Cargo Cover? by blacker Dec 29, 2004 (8:36 pm)
I have just started shopping for a 95-97 850 wagon, and went to look at a couple today. One of the things that struck me is the apparent lack of a retractable cargo cover for the rear as I have in my Yukon and my wife has in her Liberty. Have the cars I've looked at just been missing the cover, or does such an animal not exist? Replies to this message: volvomax (Dec 30, 2004 8:52 am) blacker (Jan 06, 2005 3:34 pm)

Replying to: blacker (Dec 29, 2004 8:36 pm) If memory serves, the cover was optional. YOu should be able to get one through your dealerships parts dept. Replies to this message: blacker (Jan 06, 2005 3:34 pm)

Replying to: volvomax (Dec 30, 2004 8:52 am) Thanks very much. I have since looked at three more, and two of them had the cover and the other did not. I just have to get lucky and find 'The Car' and hope that it has one (or spend $250 and buy one....)
#354 of 491 1997 v 1995 gas... Daughter's first car by richmondva Mar 27, 2005 (9:58 am)
I've determined that the 850 has the best combination of safety and price for my daughter's first car. Had decided on on 1997 until I found that it required premium gas.... now looking at 1995s. Does anyone out there use regular gas in their 1996-1997? Any problems? After reading as much as I can find on problems and repair costs for this car, I'm not so sure I've made the correct choice. Would appreciate all advice! Replies to this message: volvomax (Mar 29, 2005 9:56 am)
#355 of 491 Memories of RX Turbo by techcoord Mar 28, 2005 (8:23 am)
Last night I was driving back from VT in my 97 850R Wagon...on the mountain it just died. Let it sit for 10 minutes, started right up and died three miles later. Almost got killed waiting for police and wrecker (never thought I'd see the day this was getting towed). I had an 85 RX Turbo (subaru) and had a similar experience, in that case the turbo overheated. Is the any experiences out there that sound like mine? Could it be the fuel (93octane) or a sending unit perhaps? I am stuck.
