I've got a Volvo V70 AWD XC 12/1998 Engine is a B5254T
My pre cat oxygen sensor failed . P1132 code came up . Replaced it first with a Bosch sensor from fleabay with the same part number but after a week the check engine light came up again.
Been to scrap yard last week and took a sensor from another Turbo Volvo en fitted it this morning.
The one now fitted is the not a 100% match but was the predecessor of the one needed and works fine.

The heater Core was the only really catastrophic failure in the 850. Few other things have gone, true, but they went in more of a "slow decomposition with plenty of warning" sort of way.

Truly amazing work they did in 96.

Great idea but I bet many put the checks to the left -- need to be reorganized.

Again, great idea but I think maybe because of the check thing (I could be wrong) -- you may have some accuracy problems. ABS module 0% ? Isn't that one of the biggest gripes?

When I first saw this I checked to the left -- (ok, I'm an idiot?)
