Re: Looking for 850/S70 Weak points
Over all the 850/s70 is a good car. Yes it is an interfernece motor but most cars are. Just change the timing belt in the reccomended intervals and you shouldn't have any problems. The PCV systems is knoda funky but with your normal tune ups clean or change the flame trap and you should have no real issues.
Yea, the AC evap and Heater Core is a pain to change if the go out. I had 210,000 miles on my 850 and never had to change either one, but if you like to work on your own cars you can do one in about 8 or 9 hours.
If it is a 93-95 you can check and clear the CEL and Service light your self, if it is 96-up you can buy a tool to read and clear the codes.
Other things that the 850 is known for is the ABS module failing on 96's just a bad year for the ABS, the turbo oil drain line can go out but is a fairly easy fix you can do with a floor jack and common hand tools.
