1996 volvo 850 turbo replacing the alternator

alternator on a 96 volvo 850 turbo

How did you undo the bolt at the back of the alternator (the one down low)? It took me all day to undo it on my V90 (which is very similar to the 850 around the alternator).

Thank you for showing us to easy part of removing the alternator what about the hard part about removing the power steering pump and Reservoir

All that work ....should of got a new one. Now, yo got to worry if that one will go bad. But you can change it one speed since you did it twice.

gta19901 - Of course it's worth it. Heck, I'd rather have a Bosch alternator vs. a "Doesn't-Last" (Duralast) one from AutoZone. AZ offers you a lifetime warranty, because they know, come two years from now, you'll be changing it again. This Volvo is a turbo (AKA T5 in 1997), & is rated at 225hp. Everyone has to start somewhere, when doing repairs on an unfamiliar vehicle. If you think this is fun, wait until you have to change the dreaded rear main seal. Volvo's are known for this, being a 100,000 mile maintenance item. Basically, you have to take out the entire transaxle (transmission). However, if your goal is simplicity to keep it going for right now, please, for the love of God, check your timing belt! Access couldn't be simpler; there's only one 12mm bolt to loosen, & the plastic cover simply slides right up. Being that this is an interference engine, if this belt either slips out of alignment or breaks, your engine is fucked. The valve stems will either be ejected out of the top of the engine, or they'll bang into the pistons & get all bent up.

They missed the point of the shot of removing the bolts like how many an where they come from. they worry about the pup but not the job. smile. go to Roberts site to see this step by step. thanks

Given a little TLC, there's no reason why these vehicles shouldn't easily see 400,000 miles.
