Just checked the fan by wiring directly. It does work.
The fan is triggered by the AC relay if a teacher in the tech. school where
I work is correct.

Hello all,
I have just installed a set of leather seats in my V70, and the
driver's seat has all the electric adjustment features. Only problem
is, there is no electrical connector for me to plug it in! This means

The cable that opens the hood of my '90 Volvo 240 wagon has broken
right at the lever in the passenger compartment.
How do I now get the hood open?
How do I repair the problem?

I've been driving 240 wagons for 20+ years, and have tried different
sizes, brands and types of tires.  Good quality all season (standard
or touring) in a 195/75 14 work well and make the most sense for me.
I need a new set, and while I've always had good luck w/ Michelins, I

I bought a 1987 740 Turbo from someone a few days ago. It was only $300
and I really needed a car, having just been in an accident with my only
other means of transportation.
The can (a wagon) is mechanically in reasonably good shape. The engine

Non-turbo, 20 valve, 110K miles on it; which kind do you recommend?
I think my choices are:
NGK BKR6EIK  Iridium $ 4.90 ea
NGK BKR6ES    Copper $ 1.40

I'm using around 12.5L/100km as far as fuel consumption on a 1987 Volvo 760 GLE with a
B280F.  It's got high mileage, at 255K kms, so the engine is on it's way to being worked
in ;).
Basically, for 50Litres of fuel, I get 400km range (I'm surprised the '87 Volvo doesn't

Looking to buy my first Volvo (see previous post - if you have a 240 or 740
anywhere near Lafayette, IN, please sell it to me!), and I'm curious about
what is involved in adding a turbo.  I'm guessing I'll end up with a 240
wagon.  I know some of the 240s came with turbos, but not ...

I just had my 740 GLE auto gear box repaired by my long time mechanic. A
constant drip from the rear of the box following a 600 mile journey. He came
up with a solution which involved new seals/bushes and was carried out on
the ramp by machining down the drive shaft and a well aimed ...

I have had an intermittent problem with the engine running fast at idle.
The revs at idle could be as high as 2700 level but mainly in the 1500 rev
range.

Hai,
My tires had some strange cuts in them during my last check-up. They
appeared in the cheek of the tires and were diagonal towards the surface of
the tires. They didn't run flat as the canvas was still in good shape

Well it's not really as bad as all that. The car is 1983 240 Turbo
automatic.
I did some work over the weekend trying to diagnse and repair a few
persistent problems. I have been having trouble with my cruise control

i have a 1990 volvo 740 gl with 220k i have had this car for two years and
it never crossed my mind about the seat warmers untill my friend who had a
volvo 240 got a 91 740 and was braging about his seat warmers i was just
woundering if it would be eazy for me to fix the seat ...

The other night I ran out of gas, and the check engine light came on.  I
refilled the gas tank, but the light did not go off.  I am fairly sure that
nothing else broke down since the car runs normally, but I was wondering how
ot reset that light with out having to go to a ...

I have a 740 (non-turbo) with ~143k on the odometer.  It runs really nice,
but is exhausting this smoke.  It is barely perceptable at idle and just
driving easily down the road.  When it is accellerated hard it is very
obvious.  In the old days I would be looking for choke ...
