hi
what tools do u need to service a volvo 850 2.0 1994?

Set of torx screw drivers

Phillips
Flat
torque wrench (if you REALLY wanna get into it - and don't cheap out)
Metric and spark plug socket set
few extensions for your sockets
combination (box/open end) wrenches - if you got a thick wallet, the ratcheting ones are fantastic
loc-tite

Most "special" tools can be worked around

If you need to do a timing belt, replace the tensioner... Don't bother compressing the old one (waste of time)

anything I missed??
