What has failed on your 1992-2000 FWD or AWD Volvo? That includes the entire 850 and S70 family, and XC70, C70 and V70 models up to model year 2000.

2001+ family failed parts poll is here.

I will have an S80 poll in the S80 forum, and an XC90 poll in the XC90 forum soon.

Wait... There's More
P80 - How much do you spend on labor per year?
P80 - How much do you spend on parts per year?

You can come back to add parts as the years and months go by. You can vote not for one or two of these choices, but for every one of them, if you're that unlucky.

Just to add to the list as it's missing the Info Switch failed but I managed to repair it and refit the original, and the front headlights had to be changed as the reflectors were shot - Mike

I'll sneak those in via direct database query. Look for them to be appended to existing entries because I reached the max (!) 100 entries.

Tie rods also.

Thanks guys!

No. The first time I clicked on the thread the boxes were open to check, or you could click see results. Now there is no longer an option, just results.

Your vote came before I discovered I'd set the poll incorrectly, and you're getting locked out. I had no idea that would happen until now. Well, let me do some digging and I'll see if I can reset your vote. Might be a few days. Sorry about that.

Oh, not to worry. By then I'll have an accurate assessment of what I've replaced. Being a '93, it probably had some prototype parts that were still being refined but deserve to be accounted for.
