Replying to: jr714 (Dec 03, 2008 1:07 am) Sorry for the late response... I only replaced the dipstick. Prior to that, the mechanic did a check (compression?) and he informed me that the head gasket was OK and was not the cause of the sludge. Best of luck. |

I am inheriting a 1995 850 Turbo Wagon with 188,000 well maintained miles. I have never owned a Volvo or a turbo. From my internet study of this model, I feel that my benefactor must have thought well of me to offer this treasure. I plan to keep her memory alive by keeping the wagon in daily drive condition. Other than the obvious maintanence requirements, is there anything I need to keep in mind that might be unique to a Volvo? Thanks for kind responses, OUS |

You may want to check and see if you have a sercurity code for the radio. If you disconnect the battery (to replace it or charge it) your radio will not work unless you have the code. Most Volvo had one with the new owners. If not it is expense to change it. The ignition protection switch button by the gear shift can malfunction and will keep the car from starting. Know where the Manuel release wire is for the Gas tank door. It's in the inside back corner behind the panel on the gas door side. Parts are expensive when you repair Volvo's
