Here is the post I made on volvospeed:

I think the car differences should also be noted.

I highly doubt the 850 and S70/V70 engine/trans ecus are the same, and I'm sure the mechanicals of the engines/trannys were also updated to improve mileage among other things.

For example, I get about 22mpg on my 96 850 auto NA driving like a ...

some may argue about safety here, but compare that to getting a new ecu from the stealership... (pre-ebay ...

engine codes yes,
ABS codes NO
already tried that.
