1994 Volvo 850 Turbo Change the ECU with A Non Turbo ECU Parts






When the ecu of my 1994 Volvo 850 Turbo was showing some bad readings about the knock sensors, I picked and pulled the old ecu and got a new ecu from a 1993 volvo 850 non turbo. Is it possible for an ECU from a turbo car to replace ecu from a non turbo car? Thanks.
Answer: No. The turbo creates a significant change, since the engine compression is changed significantly. 
VVT
A/F Ratio
Wastegate control
Banked injection
Would be different or missing from the ECU. The knock sensor sends signals when the A/F mixture pre-detonates before it can be ignited by the spark plug, and the computer corrects it with VVT. You need to buy the correct ECU.

1995 Volvo 850 Turbo Replacing the Radiator Fan Belt on the 1995 Volvo 850 Turbo




Is the fan that is located in the motor of a fan in 1995 Volvo 850 Turbo, a radiator fan belt? How to replace it?

Answer: No. The car, the Volvo 850 is powered by a transverse engine, the radiator and the fan are mounted across the front and they are driven directly by the motor.
However, at the end of the engine the belt that was once called the fan belt is still there in your car. It doesn̢۪t drive the fan, like it did in older cars (and still does in many longitudinally-engined cars), but it will drive the alternator, water pump, power-steering pump and (if fitted) air-conditioning compressor. Many people still refer to this belt as the fan belt, although the correct term is accessory drive belt.
