Just got my 850 running via the local Volvo experts. Was overcharging at 15.6 V. Relatively unheard of. New alt and battery. Anyway car seems to perform well although I would say it was neglected for 2-3 years. I have owned many 700s and have a 900, but don't know my way around the FWDs to say the least.

Car runs fine, idles high at 2.1k. I have one of these coming:

I need one for inspection and it seems like a good idea. I have a K&N filter coming. I will have the pros do the timing belt when I can afford it.

My question is what should I be doing as a matter of PM since I realize that this 850T has not been tended to properly? I know with the b230's certain aspiration aspects of the engine need frequent replacement/inspection, like all the little hoses on the intake manifold.

Thanks for any help, and what is the general opinion on the K&N air filter?
