Alot of electrical stuff...ummm the driver seat stop working since their all adjusted electronically. Thats a big thing with the 850's and with it being leather their not cheap either. I loved how it looked and drove but damn it was like the sec the first thing went wrong then it just snowballed from there. First time the CEL went on and I had it checked there were like 4-5 things that came up with it. It was the first time it went on since I owned the car....things like...o2 sensors(there's 2 $$)knock sensors(there's 2 also), EGR valve, some other ---- too. The car had under 100k too. No more euro cars for me.

Go check on sites like swedespeed and volvospeed. Volvospeed is like the HT of volvo sites as they have their fair share of noobs and guys who you though designed the cars they know so much.
