Hi all. Great info to stumble upon.

I was curious if this solution will work for a 93 850 glt with the same problem?

Thanks in advance.

As far as I know the serpentine belt is the same on the '93 as it was for any other year. The tensioner may be different but the same bypass belt should work fine for you.

I've got a a 98 S70 and the 060495 works great! Went to advanced auto and got the CarQuest brand for $20. Now I can take my time replacing the compressor.

Thank you all who posted the solution.
