1993 850 Coolant Recovery Tank Interchange?

What is the interchange on 1993 850 coolant recovery tanks?
I found the part number 9141106, listed for '93s, and 9141095, which at least one vendor says will fit but is listed for '94-up applications.

1993 850 Oil Level Sensor Location

The oil level light came on in my '93 850. I've read various threads that say I can disconnect the sensor, but I'm having a problem actually finding it before I make the repair/replace/remove decision. Does anyone have photos and/or really specific directions?

I found what looks like the oil ...

850 Automatic Climate Control Failure

I have a 1993 850 with the automatic climate control. Recently, the air conditioning quit with a wisp of smoke from the dash and THAT SMELL. I tried to pull the codes at B1, but the light burned constantly when the ignition switch was on, instead of blinking out the codes. Other codes (A2, etc ...

Re: 1993 850 NA Air Intake Hose Interchange?

Thanks.

I've patched the hose for now, and will order a replacement tonight.

For future searches, here's what led me to find this fault (hoping that there aren't more down this particular rabbit hole):

The Check Engine Light (CEL) came on. On A2, there was a 121 code, something about the mass air ...

1993 850 NA Air Intake Hose Interchange?

Help: I'm trying to get the right one. The air intake hose on my 1993 NA 850 (5-speed) is crumbling in the pleats on the bottom side. While shopping, I noticed that IPD has a warning about two different styles, which it says are not interchangeable. The problem is, the part number on mine (3507473 ...

Re: Temporary "Loss" of Gears

Thanks for the input!

I finally got the time to work on the Volvo. Apparently, the driver's side halfshaft was not locked in place. Two new clues from the second incident: a small leak of transmission oil under the car, and the fact that with the car on jackstands, there was no differential action ...

Re: Temporary "Loss" of Gears

He said that the clutch and shifter felt normal during this episode.
If the slave cylinder lost pressure, would that cause the clutch to disengage?

Temporary "Loss" of Gears

My son was driving the 850 (1993, non-turbo, 5-speed) at 65 MPH in fifth, with everything seeming normal. With no warning, the engine RPM spiked and the car started to lose speed. Coming off the gas let the engine return to idle RPM. He shifted to fourth, but letting the clutch out did not help. The ...

Re: 850 Odometer STOP PREVENTION!!

Judging by the condition of the gears I replaced in my 850, I don't think that would help much. They were basically wax, ready to crumble. That said, it wouldn't hurt to baby them like that.

850 Cruise Control - Got Lucky!

Troubleshooting is a good thing!.

The cruise control on our new-to-us '93 850 (5-speed) didn't seem to work at all. I made sure I was following the instructions in the owner's manual. Still, nothing. I read several posts on this forum and found a procedure HERE .

I checked the vacuum pump and ...
