    I have a 1995 850 Turbo that has just lately started heating up. Last week,
    a couple of time the tempurature gauge climbed up about 80% of the full
    range and then went down and today the radiator light went on on the
    instument panel. The car is full of coolant and seems to be operating
    normally. (it has been quite hot and the air condioning has been running).

    Any suggestions?

    Sounds like classic thermostat symptoms.

    After the car cooled down, I removed the overflow cap --- not coolant! I
    don't know where it went, but I am going to put some in and see what
    happens. What sort of anti-freeze does it take? It says to only use Volvo,
    but will standard 50-50 anti-freeze work?

    Thanks for the help.

    Try changing the coolant cap a crack could cause the leak.
