Default Various little things

Just bought another 850, it needs usual T/B and detailing, however cruise does not work. In order of freq. of problems what's at top list as far as faulty parts.
Next I have some 225/60/15's will they fit and not rub. Largest I have used on my other 850 were 195/60/15's, on stock alloys.
I have googled a lot and not found a seat cover co. that offers Upol. kits. Seems they skip Volvo. Anybody know a source?

Hello Guy,

As for the cruise, you might want to inspect for loose/disconnected vacuum lines in the engine compartment. Then, check the fuses (if any) or loose electrical connectors. Lastly, the electrical switches may be faulty. I never had problems with my cruise, so someone else could give you better suggestions than I could.

Asfor the tyres, I would stick to whatever isstated in the owner's guide or on the inside of the fuel filler door. I think Volvos generally use V-rated tyres.

As for the seat covers, I do not have an idea.

Good luck,


JPN

Most company's don't make the seat covers because of the Air bag in the seats.

IPD sells then for $200.00 for the covers. Not sure if that is a piece or for the pair.
