maiku Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Glad I found something useful. I tried messing with the URL for like an hour earlier, hoping there were other manuals to be had, but no such luck... you have to use a url file listing programthere are a ton of them out there, i just haven't bothered yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fred - in the Redwoods Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Excellent manual. Thank you to the OP.To make life even better, this entire manual is searchable using Google Desktop.If you don't currently have Google Desktop, you may want to check it out. It is exceedingly useful in cases just like this. There are 97 separate PDF files in this manual... You enter a phrase, and Google Desktop searches through it all.Looking at eBay for service manuals, I did a search for "Volvo 850 service"There's a guy selling a DVD for all models, 1975-2005 -- $25.He says it is not a pirated Mitchell Repair manual.Anyone with any experience on this ?

So, I'm exceedingly surprised that someone hasn't found this before me. Anyway, I tried to change some parameters and search out an S70, V70, etc. and nothing, so maybe this is all we're going to get. Still decent to have!

James100 Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 With that google desktop search you can even do a less than 4 character search which you cannot do on Volvospeed such as for "ECU", "TPS" or "tie rod" . The desktop search and that manual are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

93Teal850GLT Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 I downloaded, un-rar'd, combined all pdf's into one and zipped it with Windows built-in compression. I would be happy to upload it somewhere folks can download it if anyone has web space to host that. If you have space, let me know and I can email or uplaod it. Send a private message to me with an upload ftp or your email address and then post the download here and I will get it out there.It's over 1400 pages and much easier to print this way.
