Well, I lost this fine forum and Steve's essential FAQ a couple years ago, when the younger kids in our family outgrew our '88 745T's jumpseat, but since the oldest is now driving, we're the new owners of a '96 850 Turbo sedan. Has 100k, and I'm catching up on a few issues--already did the leaking CV boot, and the ABS module is headed Victor's way this week. But I've searched, FAQ'd, Bin 13'd and read Haynes, and I'm still muddy on 3 issues:

1) The a/c is short-cycling, so I opened the low-side port cap. It was coated in bright yellow-green liquid. Normal, or is that the leak point? Car already had a new evaporator some time ago.

2) The cabin/pollen filter is a mess, and I can't sort out the changes to buy a new one. The filter is Volvo p/n 9184130 and the holder is 9184129. Is this the 'upgrade' or original for '96? Do I need another holder, or just a filter to match this one?

3) Does this car have the equivalent of the infamous Y-pipe on the 745T/B230FT that clogs with oily crust? If so, where is it? I've only seen the discussion for the flame trap on the NA engines.

TIA for the help!
