Do you have a strategy or tips to parting out a car? Specifically, I have a 96 850 turbo wagon that I am planning to part out that has oil in the coolant and some other smaller issues (like a bad heater core). Is it worth the hassle to part, or should I just sell to some junk car buyer? If I decide ...

Thanks for all the input. I just ordered a used one on eBay for $38 like cn90 recommended. I probably can't blame the previous owner for the poor maintenance. I've owned it 8 years and haven't driven it a lot this past year. I usually ride my motorcycle, which is what I'll be riding this week. The ...

My 1996 850 Turbo is leaking coolant, and I have identified the spot. I am just not sure what to do about it. It is leaking from a metal coolant pipe that lower expansion tank hose is connected to. From what I can tell there is a hole is the metal pipe. It does not appear to be leaking from a rubber ...

I had something happen to me yesterday that made me grateful for the infamous door popping on my 1996 850 Wagons. The driver's door pops on my turbo and the passenger door pops on my GLT. My family and I drove the GLT to a local park about a mile or two away to let the kids practice their bike ...

For posterity sake, I thought I would update this thread. I just bought a 96 850 GLT Wagon, and it had the third row up. When I tried to put it down, I also found out that the latch did nothing. I could get my hand back there and feel the bar. If you can't reach back there, fold down the left seat ...

Thanks, Lee. I did this job Friday afternoon and Saturday. Really great instructions. One curious thing to mention. I bought a new tensioner, and the pin was in the wrong direction. I put a 5" C-clamp on it, took the pin out, and put it in the right direction.

Thanks for all the advice. I'm grateful.

I'm in Nashville, and it's been cold and snowy and rainy lately. I don't have a garage to work in, so I decided to just take it in and have it done for me. It hurts, but I think it's the best option given the timing. Thanks again.

I have a 96 850 Turbo Wagon with a leaking radiator. The leak is near the upper hose the connection, which looks like the normal place the radiator leaks from reading the forum. I am wondering how difficult is this job. To give you an idea of my experience level, it's pretty low. Thanks to this site ...

I've been putting this off for a long while. I decided to go for it this weekend, but I am not sure if I was successful or not. I'd appreciate some input.

I have a 96 850 Turbo. The ABS light came on not too long after I bought the car 4.5 years ago. I didn't give it too much thought and the light ...

Thanks for the info. I just finished, and it was a piece of cake.

I ended up ordering the bulbs from Mouser. They are P/N: 560-CNW123 and cost $.65 each. If you want the blue bulb covers to fit better, you'll need to trim them a bit when using the Mouser bulbs. I also found there was no reason to ...
