Is the fan that is located in the motor of a fan in 1995 Volvo 850 Turbo, a radiator fan belt? How to replace it?
Answer: No. The car, the Volvo 850 is powered by a transverse engine, the radiator and the fan are mounted across the front and they are driven directly by the motor.
However, at the end of the engine the belt that was once called the fan belt is still there in your car. It doesn’t drive the fan, like it did in older cars (and still does in many longitudinally-engined cars), but it will drive the alternator, water pump, power-steering pump and (if fitted) air-conditioning compressor. Many people still refer to this belt as the fan belt, although the correct term is accessory drive belt.
