Had the AC serviced and charged a few weeks ago but with more than a

My 1992-240 sedan has about 225K on it. Still runs great. Had radiator
cleaned 3 years ago. Replaced thermostat a year ago. Have noticed that temp
gauge needle goes above normal range but not quite into "red zone"
occasionally. Have noticed it more lately especially when idling for ...

I looked one over yesterday and it does drive nice.
Can anyone give me the lowdown on the problems that
are common to this car? I am looking at a 2003
and it appears to be a "base" model. It has 49K miles on it

As many do, I had problems with my keyless entry on a '97 850. I read
some threads on it, but nothing worked. (hold it to your chin? REALLY!)
I opened the fob by cutting away the top of the little plastic rivet,
pried out the circuit board, and found much white corrosion on the

For the past year my my wife's 740 has had starting problems on
occasion.  Always at the worst time and always after a short trip.
Turning the key lights the indicator lights but it won't turn over.
Eventually it will start.  Maybe after a few minutes.  Maybe after an

Hi there !!
I will replace the front hubs of my 1997 965, and was wondering about the
torque value for the nut that holds the hub in place, and anything special I
should look out for.

Now that summer is here and I ride with the windows down (nature's a/c) I've
notice a speed sensative ticking noise coming from the front driver's side
wheel area?  Bushings? Bearings?  Where do I start?  I already checked and
there aren't any rocks or nails in the tire tread.  ...

how much should i expect to pay for a new '95 volvo 940 fuel pump? at the

My husband is very close to buying a 1992 Volvo 440 1.8L SE. Any

'93 850, 5 speed, 143K miles.
I get a nasty clunk from the parking brake when I pull up on the handle,
when the car is moving forward maybe 5-10 MPH.  As if something's loose
inside the mechanism.  Parking brake mechanism also seems balky, sticks

My 1984 240 DL wagon recently started vibrating/shuddering like crazy, but
ONLY between 40 and 50 mph -- keep below 40, or above 50, and it's smooth.
The vibration stops, even between 40-50, if I take my foot off the gas. The
rumble sounds from the rear.
