850 Wagon Rear Seat Compatibility

Post by dyn blin »

My local Pick-n-Pull received a couple new additions that I'm headed up to look at this week.

My question is to the 850 and V70 wagons' 2nd row passenger seat interchangeability.

Can the 98/99/00 be fitted to the older p80's?

Any other wisdom before I bring something home I may not be able to use?

Thanks for the bandwidth.

Yep, third row is swappable up to 00. Check this out: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=49056 and be sure to get the little insert for the back seat.

Other 850 spare parts: Fuel relays, TPS, CaPS, CrPS, MAF (Bosch only; 95-98 are different from 93-94). Plus whatever annoying little things are broken on your car. Trip computer is nice if you don't have one yet (just grab the cluster unless they want a lot for it).

Thanks for that! Lots of good info in that thread.

On the bottom seat cushion question, I wasn't as clear as I should have been. For the 2nd row (not 3rd) what years' seat bottoms are interchangeable on the wagon?

:lol: :lol: Oops I did not read your original post very carefully at all, it's pretty darn clear.

I don't know for certain because I've never tried it, but on row-2 seat bottoms and backs, IIRC the answer is 850-only for 850s, and 98-00 V70-only for 98-00 V70s. Zero interchangeability.

I was afraid of that, thanks for the pointer.
