I've been reading some of the past alt.autos.volvo postings and various
websites about using the Volvo OBD computer. I still have a few questions. I
have a '95 850 wagon. There is a connector under the coin tray on the center
console that I believe is the OBD connector. I've read ...

So far this group has been very helpful in helping me maintain my 245.
Thank you.
New question.
The wires in the tailgate hinges on both sides are broken, either due to

I just bought a used '96 850 GLT wagon.  It did not come with an alarm
or anti-theft (except for a blinking anti-theft light on the stereo,
which I assume refers to some security coding on the stereo itself).
I plan to park this car on the street in my neighborhood in New York

I was just reading a book called Notes from a Big Country by Bill Bryson.
Really funny and realistic outlook on life. Anyway, in it is a chapter on
cup holders in cars and the American obsession with them. I have never owned
a car with cup holders, living in the UK. Not even my ...

yesterday I saw at used cars dealer in Munich a Volvo V70 with 2,5l engine
with 106 KW. Is this a Diesel engine? I'm new in Volvo and may be I'm
interested in changing to a Volvo. The car looked good, from 2nd half of
1997, has 105 tkm, half leather and climate and is offered for ...

My Volvo dealer has quoted a 7-year, 100K mile, $200-deductible Volvo
extended warranty at $2,246. Is that likely what other dealers would quote,
all sticking to the script, or might I shop around profitably?
Some other brands (non-Volvo) have been mentioned here as good deals, and

Is there anther way to get extra keys and remotes for the S60?  I do not
live close to a dealer.
Thanks,

Yesterday, on the MSN portal, there was an item with a link to a site where
people apparently told their stories of how Volvo's saved their lives.
I had wanted to check it out later but it slipped my mind.
Does anyone happen to know where that site is ?

My 95 940 automatic stalls frequently when stopped at a red light and the
transmission is in drive. The exact problem that occurs is that I will come
to a stop, idle around 500, then the car starts to shake and the idle will
waver up and down about 200 rpm for a few seconds, before ...

I have a '87 240 dl wagon whose transmission appears to be on the way
out, it has approx. 230k miles.  my mechanic quoted a rebuild price of
as much as $1600, so i've decided to look around for a used model.
however, i do have a few questions that could help me in my search:

My 1993 940GLE has always idled too slow ever since I bought it with
80,000km 5 years ago.  This leaves it a bit on the rough side with vibration
going through the car.  It idles at about 600 rpm +/-50, hot or cold when in
gear with brake applied.  When in neutral or park a fraction ...

I just picked up a used '96 850 GLT wagon with 90K miles yesterday --
my first time even driving a Volvo.  The car ran fine at the dealer.
When I got the car, the gas was very low, so the first thing I did was
to fill up at a nearby gas station.
