Have the same issue right now on my 96 850. Can't decide if I should let the dealer replace the sensor and "maybe" fix it or if I should just buy a used ECU and replace that myself....

A fellow brickboarder recommended the following:

"www.car-part.com. This is a great site for used parts. I was upgrading my ECU, and I needed an extra ECU - I found one of the wrecking yards. It was tested, and it has no problems at all. It cost $90. Look at the code on the ECU and make sure it matches with the one you are looking for. Looks like the lowest price for a used ECU is $65."

When you had the sensor replaced three years ago, did that fix the problem? Did you have a dealer do the work - if so what was the cost? If not how hard was the sensor to change?

Thanks in advance

Over a million Volvo miles and still smiling.
