Those turbo models also like to crack their exhaust manifolds. I had a 740 turbo once, and yes it had the same electrical gremlins as mentioned earlier.

:? I too have heard some hinky things about electrical systems on Volvos, but then too of the people I've known that have had Volvos (none of them were turbos though) no one ever had anything major go.
