850R Instrument Cluster Circuit (PCB)

Why you just don't pull another one from junk yard and install it?
They are not mated to the car like on 99+ models.

Just pick up one from '95 turbo car and VDO.

'96+ should have different speedometer signal.

600usd for instrument cluster for '95???
Try e-bay or ricardo.ch....it shouln't be more than 20-50chf.
For 600usd you can buy a whole driveable parts car in Swiss.

If someone has a cluster out of an 850 and could take pictures of that cap it would help our Swiss friend.

A junkyard in Switzerland would be an interesting experience. Cost prohibitive if course, every week someone would have to line up,the junk cars measuring with a meter stick....

Had similar issue on my S60, got a used cluster and swapped the burnt components with a good soldering iron. chances are you won't find in stores the small transistor or even won't be able to read the value stamped on it

Same problem on v70 2001 model t5 dealer want £630 plus coding !!:( second hand no good as coded to car very common fault also found so many different part no such between models!

@arran79
So....you buy a used one and just pay to a dealer to mate it with your car.
Better solution than paying 630$ for the cluster itself PLUS coding.

@ch850R
Check ricardo.ch in volvo 850 auto parts section...been there few days ago and ran into a something like wholesale for used volvo parts....there were few instrument clusters for 850s.

Hi there,
The thread is a bit old but anyway I'll post pictures of this area of the same VDO part No. PCB.
Here they are (shared from google photos):

If anyone need some help with the markings on the transistors just let me know.
