Are the Walker sensors OK to use? I've seen them for around 100.00 for the direct fit but I'm unsure how they function as compared to the Bosch sensor. Is the 127.00 one a Bosch? If so then thats a steal. The cheapest I've seen the Bosch for is around 148.00 at my local store.

Anyone ever use a Walker oxygen sensor and if so is it comparable to the Bosch? Thanks...Mike

I'm not sure if the above model is compatible with a 1996 850. I have seen used turbochargers on eBay in the past. I believe there are a couple for sale now even.Perhaps the seller may have other models available that aren't listed. Hope it helps......Mike

Thanks guys for the replies. I will be taking it to the Volvo dealer to fix my leaky, defective gas tank soon so I will have them check it out too while I'm there. If it does happen to be that crank seal, what could I expect to pay for it to get fixed? Also the dealer quoted me a rough estimate of 4...

oil leak

My '95 850 turbo is leaking oil just behind the front passenger side tire. I took it to a shop where a friend works and they told me it was my head gasket. The car isn't overheating at all and there is no antifreeze in the oil. The antifreeze isn't leaking either. I don't have 100% confidence in the...

Thanks for the replies. Just wondering if anyone has tried the dust shields and get some opinions on that option as well.

brake dust

My wheels are constantly dirty from brake dust and the problem is compounded due the fact that they are bright white alloys. Would I be better off getting ceramic pads or buying a set of those metal dust shields? Has anyone ever used these and how did they work? Thanks, Mike

My '95 850 leaks too. It leaks when I fill the tank up but if I fill it to 3/4 it's fine. I wonder if this problem pertains to the recall or if its another unrelated issue. The nearest dealer to me is over 70 miles away and I'd hate to drive all the way there for something that isn't covered. Any ad...

My car is also giving the o2 code (212) Does replacing it make a noticeable difference in your fuel economy? My car seems to be a little rough on gas. Is there anything else that would help improve it?
