General Questions... 850

posted by  someone claiming to be nobody on  Thu Feb 26 21:12 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I have an 850R... 97.

What is a good protecter/cleaner for the suede interiors?

Where can I get after market parts for my car online? Want to get a new exhaust or new tip.

Are there any things I should be aware of, any problems, or things to avoid to prevent problems?

How do I get it so my antannae does not rise when I am listening to a CD, not radio?

My alarm doesn't work, can I get a new one to work with the red light? Possibly remote, keyless ignition?

What is the largest diameter rim I could run, with the right tires? 18? 19?!

Thanks...
I am sure I have other questions... but, that is sure enough for now. THANKS!

    1. The R interior isn't suede. It's an Italian synthetic material called "Alcantara". Care instructions are available at the company's website at: http://www.alcantara.it/

    2. For a list of Volvo parts vendors, try the pull-down menus above.

    3. Borton Volvo (search) listed a euro-market auxiliary antenna switch.

    Sorry, I don't knpw about wheel/tire clearances. Try the "search" function, or over at the Brickboard Aftermarket, Swedespeed.com, or the Volvospeed performance discussion groups.

    Good luck!
