Re: 96 850 Best value on exp. tank hoses?

I bought and installed upper and lower expansion tank hoses from FCP Euro for $11.95 each in January.The brand was Mackay,they seemed to be sturdy,it's only been five months but they are good.

98 Volvo s 70. URO quality?

I know URO has a reputation for poor quality, does that extend to body parts like turn signal assemblies?

Re: 98 v70 No start when weather is cold

My 94 850 had been starting fine until last Tuesday when the AM temperature was around zero.I replaced the 103 fuel pump relay and that resolved the problem.My 98 S70 has the same relay.Look up 103 fuel pump relay in this forum,there is some great info on troubleshooting the relay.Good luck.
