I sincerely appreciate all the help you've provided. Thank you so much. ... 8. As far as having the Volvo dealer read the mileage, search for "jimmy57" on the volvo_850_diag_links.html page, read the paragraphs for that jimmy57 item, then follow the jimmy57 link. The included instructions ...

Has anyone tried to use this 10-in-one tool to reset the SRS light on a 1996 850 Turbo, and is there another cheaper way to do it?

For some reason, the free app locks up after I enter 2 commands, so I just closed the app after sending 2 commands and restarted it for the next 2 commands. Here are the responses.

Anyway, before I pay, I want to make sure I understa...

I was trying to replace a front brake hose on a 1996 850 Turbo, and I rounded the nut on the metal line. I tried to use a Vise-Grip to remove it but I couldn't get it to turn. Is there anything special I need to know about removing the rubber line? I thought I could just put a 14mm wrench on the rub...

I was just wondering if there were any other things that typically need replacement in high-mileage 850s. I didn't notice anything about the cap and ro...

During hard acceleration, I can see smoke in the rear view mirror. Our 1996 850 Turbo didn't do this before. What could be causing this? Thanks in advance.

The brake pedal on our 1996 850 Turbo seems to require more effort than normal. Are there any common failure points to check? Thanks in advance.
