Hi, I know it might sound silly, but my son has found a Volvo 850 he wants to buy.. But isn't allowed to drive a turbo by law for another two years.. Is there any way we could disconnect turbo function without causing any subsequent damage?
If you remove the turbo from that car, the car will not run very well because the computer is setup to run with a turbo device, it need the air flow to force the fuel where it need to go. after removing the turbo you are going to have fuel issue, stay running, be fore you buy it go to the owner ask if they would mind if you or them disconnect the belt from the turbo charger and restart the car, see how well it runs, try and drive it, if every thing works okay, than buy the car and leave the belt off the charger.
You would have to remove all the turbo components and air intake hoses, purchase used non turbo components and install them. Even then the vehicle would not run correctly as it has a computer set up for a turbocharged car. In short no.

Mark,
As long as you have the instructions to replace the speeometer drive gear go ahead, and do it.
One BIG question I have for you....how do you know that the mileage is not way over what you've been told?...
small tip for the future.......if you ever look at another car for anybody, and the speedometer doesn't work...pass up the car..there is always another one down the road waiting for you.
Hopefully this will help you, and thanks for letting us at FixYa.com help out...happy New Year

Yes, its simply to remove the radio wich is there (two clamps, one on each side) retract the connectors.
You might need to buy a compartment to conceal the part of the opening that will be exposed when removing the bigfront-radio.
(Volvo-dealers can help you) And a cableset wich contains the connectors to the Radio-connectors in the 850 and directly to the radio you buy. (Most radio-dealers hava all kinds)
New radio mounts in only e few hours. All included.
Theese Volvos are very well prepeared for this.

You have a broken odometer gear wheel which is very delicate and hard to change it cost less than fifty bucks but it will take a volvo expert one hour or more to change if your not volvo acquinted dont attempt to fix it.you will mess the dash board
