Hi, I have a 1996 850, and just discovered a mysterious oil leak under
the rubber floor mat in the driver's side floor area...the carpet under
the mat was soaked with a clear oil like substance, and it seemed that
the oil had wicked into the carpet somehow.  There was no oil around

and happy new year!
Took the Volvo 740 Estate 2ltr 1990 (G reg in the UK)for it's MOT last
weekend. Suffice to say, it sailed through with no problems at all.
The day before the MOT the engine idle was a bit rough to the extent that it

I'm thinning the herd around here and have decided to sell our 1992 240.  It
has 149K miles.  I bought it with about 65K miles on it.  It has had oil
changes every 3000 miles since then.
Recent (say, the last couple years) maintenance of note:

Hi. I have upped the boost on my turbo now sometimes I
get a 'kick' like taking your foot off and on the throttle.
I believe this is caused by the 'boost control switch'
shutting down the fuel pump.

My 96 850 T has 245000 miles.  When cold it starts fine however if driven a
short distance 1/4 - 1/2 mile and shut off it sometimes wont start.  When
the ignition is turned to start it only makes a faint clicking sound, the
starter doesn't spin.  After 10 or 15 minutes it again ...

I have a Volvo s-40. It takes 5-10 seconds to turn over. 1.9 lite
turbo.Also, how do you change the plastic snap on fitting on one end of
the fuel filter without breaking it? I think the filter may be the
starting problem but cant figure out how to get that one end off of it.

What is the best oil that is available in the UK, for a 1995 Volvo 940 2.3
LPT with 93000 miles on the clock.
I want an oil that will help the engine and turbo last as long as possible.
I am not bothered about the cost of it.

Can one do damage driving at low rpm's?  My wife likes to drive our 86
740 turbo at sub 2000 rpm in OD, I suspect using the turbo to
compensate. It bugs me, but can it really do harm?
It's a second hand car, so I don't have a manual.

Sorry if this is a bit blatent but here goes......
I would like to anounce the release of a new website for Swedish car
drivers in the UK please come have a look.

The back end of my 240 estate is sagging quite badly. It's covered 160,000
miles and has towed a horse trailer for a few years of its life.
How can I tell if the bushes or the springs are bad? The bushes don't look
easy to get at or I'd just do those and see if makes a difference.

A while ago the 760T started to conk out whilst driving on the freeway, not
very often, not enough to worry about. Then it had a spate of conking out
when it goes around a corner,
is it the fuel pump? which one?

Hi, Can anyone help?  I have increased the boost on my
volvo from 7.5psi to about 12.5psi using a bleed valve
on the wastegate pipe.
On full throtle acceleration in 1st and 2nd I sometimes

Something is draining my battery to the point where my 1987 Volvo 240
goes dead.   I had the battery loaded tested and proved good.   I
installed a new Bosch alternator thinking the current was leaking
through alternator but the car battery still goes dead after 3 or 4

Day after tomorrow I have to get into why my 89 240 doesn't have brake
lights.  Is there a source relay like the headlights have (the one
behind the brake pedal)?  Or is this likely a fuse or the switch
itself?  Thanks for the help ahead of time.
