Volvo 800 Series workshop manuals

Volvo 800 Series at a glance: 8 manuals, covering 1993 to 1997 models, with engines from 2.3 to 2.4 litres.

About the 850

The 850, made from 1991 to 1997, marked a big change for Volvo: a transverse five-cylinder engine driving the front wheels, a Delta-link rear axle and a side impact protection system. It was designed by Jan Wilsgaard, and an estate joined the saloon in 1993. The S70 and V70 replaced it.

What these manuals cover

  • 1993–1997: the 2.4-litre five, the 2.3-litre turbo five, and the high-performance T-5R and 850 R.

Tip: the S70 and V70 of 1998–2000 are updated 850s with the same engines.
