Is there a prefered service manual to buy? I've owned a couple BMW E30s and the Bentley was the one to get. I've just purchased a 95 850 wagon for my winter car, and it is going to need some TLC.

I've already found a bunch of great stuff on the board, like the timing belt replacement, which I'll do right away if I can't verify the last time it was done.

Thanks, already found that. There seems to be stuff missing from that like the timing belt, etc.

Also sometimes it is nice to have a real manual in your workshop.

Thanks

Do you have the VADIS software?

What isthe "VADIS software"? I don't have it.

 

Volvo VADIS (Volvo Aftersales Diagnostic Information System)

It is available on several P2P sites. Not that I am endorsing software piracy, but it is available.

 

I have that link too. Good info there.

I ordered the Haynes manual. Didn't see a Bentley or other service "manual". That was mostly what I was looking for.

Also any parts CDs, software or websites available? Such as this one that I use for BMWs?

VADIS has all the part numbers.

 

If all else fails, here's your ultimate resort:
