Newbie with a 93 850 GLT
Hello everyone, I am the proud new owner of a 93 850 GLT the car has 159,000 miles on it and is in overall good condition. There are a couple of things that need immediate attention like the front shock mount broke and it's riding only on the spring on the front right, it also is due for a new timing belt since the previous owners never changed it (at least the second owner possibly third). I'm looking forward to learning more about these cars, and meeting a lot of new people. I hope everyone is having a great Christmas and look forward to a great new year with a great new (used) car.
Josh

Welcome to the forum.
Get the timing belt changed ASAP as the recommendation for the '93 model year, 21mm belt,is every 50,000 miles or 60 months, whichever comes first. For the '94 model year, 23mm belt, it is 80,000 miles or 96 months. Very expensive if it breaks.

RE: Newbie with a 93 850 GLT
This question comes up regularly and I don't know of a Volvo equivalent.
As you are in Europe I can recommend: http://www.partsgateway.co.uk/. They don't stock any parts for any make of car but are linked to several dealers who sellnew and used parts at reasonable prices and they will ship to Germany. List your requirements and the dealers will contact you with prices and delivery times. I have used them for Volvo, Jeep, Vauxhall, Renault and Mitsubishi parts and the service has always been first class.
