Default New member...95 850

Hi All! i just found this forum while looking for info on the AC system. I just bought a 1995 850 sedan. It runs really well and looks VERY nice. I'd appreciate any advice on things that are "must-do" or "must-check".
Thanks, Scott

Welcome to the forum. Depending on the mileage I would look at replacing the timing belt. Volvo says you can do this at 105K intervals. Most guys on here do it at 75K intervals. Other things would be changing the oil, all the filters, air, etc. and just an overall check up.

Welcome. 850's are hot. Always wanted one.

Basically, Check everything you can. Especially Anti-Freeze. Even noticing something slight you can fix for pennys, is better then having a tow truck driver tell you on the side of some highway.

You mentioned the AC system. Remember never attempt any A/C repair yourself, unless you're qualified. It's not to be meddled with, serious injury could occur.

Welcome, and good luck. Post some pictures.
