Hi!
Well I got rid of an old friend the other day, my '89 745, and I miss her, but I replaced her with a '96 850 wagon (non-turbo) and I need to replace the timing belt. I have never done a timing belt on any vehicle. I have done quite a bit of repairs, but I have to say I'm a bit nervous about this one. I'm am writing for any tips/suggestions, including what brand of belt should I buy, what brand of water pump should I buy, and do I need any special tools.
I was going to go into Borton here in the Twin Cities but when I got a "ball Park" figure I thought it was time to learn! Two ther Items of discussion...
1. It seems as if a hinge or strap mount on the body part of the door jamb is broken and makes a loud clunk when opening and closing the door. Any suggestions?
2. The passengers side - outside mirror has cracked glass, I've done replacements on GM cars by breaking out the broken glass and replacing with new. Is Volvo similar?
Everyone here at brickboard has been so helpful! I really enjoy reading everything! Thanks so much!
Greg
