I am in the process of trying to Fix my 1990 740 wagon.
This car died on me in town. I have towed it to my home and am trying
to find out why it has no power inside the car.
I have charged the bat , cleaned the cables , checked for power at the

I have a G Reg Volvo 440, an in all respects it is behaving well except
for the heater only just manages luke warm air at any time
After starting with the heater on full with the fan on any position the
air coming out is cold as expected but it never gets above slightly

I have a 1991 Volvo 240 sedan with 120K miles which I get serviced on a
regular basis.
My problem is that lately I have been noticing that the car is running at a
very high rpm's the first drive of the day (typically when I get over 50

I'm looking to buy a used wagon, probably not newer than 2000.
I've heard that the post-1998 models are problematic and troublesome
due to the computerization of the vehicles.  I have also seen folks in
this forum complaining about the '96 850s.

Around 45 to 50 mph, under constant load, the transmission cannot seem to

I've seen info posted either here or elsewhere about which 240s

able to provide her with those guidelines.  Does anyone know where I

Can I raise the headrests in my 1998 S70?  I want to add an aftermarket
CD player and I think I need to get to the steel posts to mount it.

I must start by saying that I am ready to jump back into the land of
Volvo after selling my aged war horse 1990 740 this past winter.
Driving a Saturn SL2 for the past year has just not been cutting it!
I am considering purchasing a 1995 960 wagon from a private seller  but

Any suggestions on best used volvo for less than 20 grand that has room in
the back seat, has power and is four door? It could be a different maker as
well, just not American. The "less than 20 grand" still applies.
Thanks for any info.

Weather has turned a bit chilly here (about minus 10 degrees farenheit
last night.)  The car is in an isulated but unheated garage.
Started it up this morning and as usual it idled very roughly as if
running on only a cylinder or two. Was in a hurry so pulled it out of

I'm having trouble finding specs I can use for comparison between
different models of Volvo wagons. I'm looking to make the move to a
wagon before the middle of January and, although the 850 seems like a
very nice car, I am not sure how it stacks up compared to, say, a 940

Is it a good idea to change the water pump when changing the timing belt?
Car has 70,000

I decided to start a new thread on this. I'd indicated an issue with
my 1993 240 DL Wagon and that I had tested the AMM.
A few respondents indicated that the ONLY way to test was to replace
it with a known good or new unit--and on that I must respectfully

I read recommendations for IPD parts.
Can someone clue me in?
Thanks,
