Does NOT fit Volvo 850 Series 2.3 Turbo as stated.

Too short, no way it would bolt in. Tried to rig it using washers as a spacer, ran out of threads. Called the Carquest 1-800 number and the guy on the phone tried to blame the issue on Volvo. Umm NO! He basically told me reading his computer screen that, they know it will not fit some of those Volvo cars. Then WHY do they list it as compatible? This is not right. Carquest can't get their parts configuration control figured out. This is a classic case of "COPQ", google it. It is why this country has so many high priced inferior car parts floating around.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
Starter was not possible to install.

This starter motor was roughly 25% larger in size than the original starter. It was not possible to install it. Reason: The solenoid conflicted with the air hose connected to the throttle housing.
I would buy a new one but one was not available.

The starter worked fine. Makes a strange winding sound each time while starting but works just fine.
Gotta love it !

Installed, fit perfectly and working very well. Very good/excellent low price and I'm very happy with purchase and will be buying more parts soon.
Yes!

Installed the starter in my 2004 Volvo myself: works great.
