I guess that for the fuel type, Volvo only asks for UNLEADED FUEL ONLY but the computer can adjust rest of the parameters according to the combustion you get from different grade of fuel. I personally drove my 96 estate on lowest grade (87 Octane) thru out and never had any issues. So, if your car showed no bad symptoms on 93+ then switch it back to that one.....

If you drive through water the belt slips and causes what it happening that's why I asked.

Maybe check all connections good at the battery and alternator and starter.
