Thanks for that info. Guess that makes sense when your transitioning from one system to the other.
And I messed up thinking that '98my was an 850. 0 for 3

I thought 850 ended in 97?! Am I missing something? 98 was the last year that plug wire, mechanical throttle were used if I'm not mistaken. Did Volvo transition to electronic seat airbags in 99+ p80? If so, that means Volvo went bananas on the electronics, not my cup of tea. The only electronic thing that changed from my 98 XC to 96 960 were Coil on Plug.Sveedy wrote: 23 Nov 2020, 12:47abscate wrote: 23 Nov 2020, 11:47 Dont you have Plants to go look at?
Did Prince say we are going to party like it's 1998?![]()

But I thought that the '99 model year was a bit of a transition year and as such had more than its fair share of problems. Kind of what might be called a bastard year. Was under the impression that the '98 was the top year for the 850.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go make some popcorn...

^^ 98 was the best year for the P80 platform, that is indisputable. The 98 cars are mechanically 850s but cosmetically x70s.
