Anyone have any educated guesses on what it might cost to have just the hood of
my '92 240 wagon repainted?  The car's paint job seems perfect except for somen

      On my 89 240 GL, the  original crankshaft pulley (harmonic balancer)

Hoping someone can help with an issue that I have been experiencing with my
new S80. When accelerating from low speed or stop, there is a "popping" or
"creaking" sensation in the steering wheel. Most noticeable when making a
right hand turn from stop. Seems most pronounced when ...

I had to replace the vibration damper pulley on it.  I discovered that the
new set of belts that I had bought from Autozone are ALL wrong. But they
gave me what they show for a 89 240 GL. I found an original  belt which fit
the power steering /damper pulley, which goes on first ...

What kind of rear speakers can be purchased for this car. I have a T5 with
SC-816 Premium Sound System, in-dash CD, 8 speakers, 100 watts.  The sound

How many out there use 87 octane in their turbo volvos instead of the
recommended 93 octane?

Mechanic says he noticed slippage of the Harmonic balancer and that it
should be replaced.
I have reason to be a little suspicious. So has anybody else with the

It is the stock 4 cyl. engine.  The car as I got it had a belt that goes

How do you detach the top (next to the speaker) of the door handle on
a '92 240? It seems to be attached from inside, but the inside cap is
