My 245 GLT (B21FT) has an intermittent problem - the engine races on
occasion. Revs up to about 3k in park. Provides a little too much excitement
while out driving in traffic the few times it has happened. Not sure if it's
related, but I reconnected a vacuum line to the thermal ...

Hi Forks,
I have questions again with my 1996 Volvo 850, it just turns to 90K
tonight, I was thinking I may have a birthday Party for it -:)
Anyway, ever since this car was after 60K, the 'check engine" light

I have an '87 760GLE with the four lamp sealed beam setup.
I'd love to have the Euro style headlights (not the later "aero style", just
the flat ones).  What's required for the conversion?  Can I get a set of
them in Ontario Canada? (later 740s?, before the "aero" style?)  I just ...

Greetings-My gf's  '96 850 wagon was in the auto body shop recently to
repair deer damage. While there, apparently the lot kid really didn't know
how to drive a stick and whaled the drivers door against something hard
enough that the shop replaced the door and re-painted the ...

My wifes 740 turbo suddenly revs up quickly then settles down to a sweet
idle .It does its rarely ,but you wouldn't want to be behind a car at the
lights when it happens .Any clues please?I have cleaned the air idle mixture
unit out as it was messy but this is a different problem ...

Hello forks, I have a 1997 Volvo 940 tubro charge that won't start because
fuel injectors not opening, can anyone tell me the cause of this or how to
fix it? I need help.

 Does anyone know where I might locate a shop manual for an '86 760
turbo wagon?  
 Any other extant publication of comparable quality with detailed
repair procedures and info for same would be of interest as well.

Greetings.  I have a volvo 240 wagon that I bought this past fall.  I need
to take it in to get the exhaust redone on it, but I have noticed a
problem in the past couple weeks.  My good friend the car doesn't seem to
want to shift gears (automatic, BTW) as timely as he used to.  

I need to replace the driver's side window on a 1985 245. What years will
fit. I know that the 242 widows will not fit but I am assuming that all 240
or 245 windows from 1980 to 1990 would fit. I will be going to a wrecking
yard and would like to get a newer one with the cleanest ...

I wound up pulling apart the fuel distributor on the '79 242 I posted
about earlier with the no start condition. I know you're not supposed to
open them but upon disassembly my suspicion was confirmed that I had
nothing to lose. Inside I found quite a pile of rusty sediment and ...

I've got a 91 240 (100 000 miles)that's leaking anti-freeze between the head
and block just behind the water pump.  The dealer and another mechanic are
positive it is the head gasket while another mechanic is certain it's just
the o-ring between the pump and head.  The motor has ...

Its gone, its gone :(
A fully upgraded silver S70 GLT with the right rims was truly one of
the most aesthetic car in its class.  Even 6 yrs on after it stopped
production, it looked better than most other 'new' cars out there.

Has anyone replaced the parking brake cables on their 850?  I have a 1993
and the cables seem to be binding, the parking brakes sometimes drag, are
balky.
Can get a pair of cables from local auto store, but no intructions in how to
