As the water pump pressurises the cooling system based on the revs of the
engine the higher the revs the more the water pump pumps the higher the
radiator pressure I assume.
If this is correct then if the engine is a high revs then the rad pressure

Journey from Torbay to Folkestone (UK) 340 miles approx. Just made it back.
100 miles into the trip with an '87 240 suddenly had minute "outages" from
the engine. These gathered in frequency to add up to some serious power
loss. 40mph at full throttle (2.3 engine). Pulled in to ...

Anybody had experience with swapping a manual transmission for an auto in a 750 HP turb (1989).

I have "inherited" a 1996 Volvo 850.  Not sure if I'll be selling it or
trading in, but I'm doing research for both scenarios.
It's a sedan, not turbo, but I can't figure out if it's just the 850 or the
850 GLT.  Would it say "GLT" on the back of the car if this was the case?

After several Saabs I'm thinking of buying a Volvo wagon, late 80s seems to be
what I can afford. About all the advice I can find has to do with
disintegrating wiring harnesses and blower motors. Any advice here or a site I
can go to with some? Thanks a lot.

I am a very practical person, and am familar with engines and manual
gearboxes/clutches.  But automatic transmission is a new ball game to
me.
Can one of you guys explain how an automatic works.  Are there clutch

I thought I had a problem with the head gasket on my 1988 740.
There was a strong smell in the water header reservoir which I now think may
be from changing the water pump, plenty of sealant was used on the water
pump so its possibly the sealant I can smell in the water.

My 1990 Volvo 740 Turbo with AW71 automatic transmission keeps taking itself
out of fourth gear.
I have traced the problem to a faulty overdrive solenoid.
After nearly suffing a heart attack when I discovered how much the local

I swapped out my Pioneer in dash CD player for a Sony CDX-F5705X so that I
could run an audio cable from the back of the stereo into the compartment
below it (where I'll can leave my iPod cabled up to the auxiliary input)
I noticed my backlighting for my speedometer and rpm and ...

I have removed the parts of the radio to get at the 5 bulbs on the circuit
board.  I removed one of the burnt bulbs to see if I could find
replacements.  Not successful so far.  Does anyone know where I can purchase
replacement bulbs?  Does the dealer carry this part?  Thanks for ...

Anyone know of a good site with pictures to help take apart the front
door panels on a 1996 960?

Hello out there!
I recently decided to restore an old 440 greyline (gazoline) and I would
like to have it done with the least investment (I have been told it wasn't
worth the price...) so I am looking for good spare parts adresses or people

so, it was around 9 degrees last week, i did about an hour drive with
the radio antenna in the up position. once i arrived at my destination,
shut the car down, the antenna motor tried to lower the antenna, but to
no avail...the ice had froze it in place...i drove home (one hour) ...

Motor never really heats up. Only sometimes when in city traffic. On highway
stays under 20% or so..
Thermostat broken? Not the pump nor a leak cause it would run hot, wouldn't
it?

I have A 94 850 turbo I had just replaced the turbo possibly due to a
misdiagnosis but that's beside the point.  I had smoke coming out of the
exhaust if the car sat idling more than 5 min....If I rev the engine up
after idling I get a huge puff of smoke.  The smoke clears up ...
