Car Forum / Volvo Cars / July 2006computer for '89 Volvo 240DL?
I'm looking to purchase a used computer for my '89 Volvo 240DL. It's the computer that's under the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. They stole it and they charged me once $500 to replace and install. How much would this computer cost used? Thanks. > I'm looking to purchase a used computer for my '89 Volvo 240DL.

Used prices are all over the place, one of the junkyards near me charges $17.50, the other I go to wants $35. They rarely fail so not much demand, might turn up on ebay. Yep... stolen. They break a window and yank it from under the glove compartment. Next thing I know... the car doesn't start. Is this the ecu computer? Thanks for the info. > > I'm looking to purchase a used computer for my '89 Volvo 240DL.

I've paid $75 US for one from a wrecking yard (you-pull-it yards are usually a lot cheaper than that) with a 30 day warranty. 30 days doesn't sound like much but if it works 30 days it will proabbly work 30 years. Did I mention how much I despise thieves? The sick part is that the thief's computer - or the sucker he was selling it to - is probably just fine.

I've never even heard of an ECU being stolen, that's really bizarre, especially for a nearly 20 year old car, 240s aren't exactly rare. > I've never even heard of an ECU being stolen, that's really bizarre, > especially for a nearly 20 year old car, 240s aren't exactly rare. It shows up from time to time in the Honda forum. It does seem odd for a Volvo, though... especially a 240. Mike |
