if the autobox on the volvo is good then that's worth good money becuase there was an insane arrangement on those 850s where the radiator system was routed into the box's cooling & that interface is prone to letting go, flooding the box with car coolant. End of box.

If it does fit there's some nifty mod that can be done to the turbo hardware. No idea what but my bro had one of those 850 T5s which had had that fitted, on an auto & that one pulled harder than his later whatever T5 (chipped) & his Saab 9 whatever turbo. It's still on the road now!

BTW that's the last proper Volvo before Ford got their hands on them.


OOOPS-just checked back-you're talking about the tdi lump! Oh well, I'll leave it up FYI & a laugh :eek:
