POOR gas mileage, 1996 850 TURBO

I was getting great mileage up till about a month ago. Go figure, gas at all time high and my car starts to suck it up. I was getting about 20-22 combined and close to 30 on the highway, then all of a sudden it is down about 25%. No error codes. I see where they talk about the airbox sensor, but whe...

Horrible Gas Mileage

Will it work with a radio that has CD and cassette player?

Mine is a 1996 850 Turbo wagon that has the CD player as well as the cassette. Can I still do the mod?

Synthetic Oil versus Regular Oil

I have a 96 850 Turbo with 163,000 that I just bought. I make it a point to change the oil on any new/used car I get, but was wondering if I should start using synthetic, even though the previous owner was using regular oil.

Thanks.

1996 850 Turbo Considering buying/What to look for?

I have been a Volo owner for years. Gone from an 1800 to 240 to 740 and now considering an 850 wagon with 160,000. She just had front and rear brakes done. Ball joints. What else to look for on this model? ANy common failures? Any common questions to ask? Thanks for all your advice. God, I just love...

Transmission, 1991, 740 Turbo Wagon

When I first start the car it has a hard time going from 1st to 2nd until it warms up. Once it is warm, it shifts fine. Checked the fluid. Any suggestions?
