My wife's '96 850 GLT was totalled (she is fine (it's a Volvo!)).
We had not yet mounted her snow tires. They are  Gislaved 185/65 R15
on steel rims (part # 6819704 5). Can they go on my '98 S70?
Can't seem to find the information elsewhere online.

before.

Winter has come for good and I have noticed that two outlets located in  
the central console are blowing cold air no matter what I set in AC in my  
'99 v40. Side outlets works as suspected: hot/cold air, depending on the  
ac settings. I suspect some sort of valves to be stuck. ...

the bottom part of the cover around the column I must first remove the
steering tilt handle. I was able to push the tilt button down far enough to
remove one screw off of the back side. it looks like there ...

In cold weather now it takes about 10 to 15 seconds when I turn the ignition
key to ON for the instrument panel gauge lights to all light up.  Once this
happens then I can turn the key to START and the engine starts fine.  If I
just turn the key to START on a cold morning then the ...

Just bought a 1993 240 5-speed wagon and on the drive home noticed an
occassional chirp/squeak when moving into first or sometimes second
gear.  It doesn't always happen and it is very quiet and quick.  Anyone

Help -- I know nothing about cars...I have a 1990 240 w/180K on it - I
bought it 1.5 years ago and have had no work done to the car. End of
last winter, it would often not re-start if it had been turned off for
less than one hour. Then the weather warmed up and the problem went

My '93 960 abruptly ceased starting after I checked the fuel rail pressure
(50 psi btw). It had been running a little rich but there has been no
noticable impact on the drivability other than the persistent 231 and 512
engine codes. All that was done was connect a pressure gauge ...

replacement for my *91 240 gl.
I have been driving second hands volvo's 240 for the last 20years now and I
don't know what to buy next.
