It looks like my brake light failure relay is broke- I step on the
brakes, the fail light goes on and 12V doesn't go to the brake lights .
First I thought no problem, I'll just do the dashboard dive and get to
the bottom off this. The brake pedal switch is good, and I decided to

My 86 Volvo 740 T Named Thelma, is having problems. Poor gal, first the
heater fan went, I replaced that, now all of a sudden NO heat. It has
been cool heat the last year anyway but NONE now. I got pooking around
and found the Vacuume line to the heater valve (on the top line to the

Just had our 2000 Classic V70 splutter and put up the check engine
light - OBD reader says p130 (O2 sensor) reset the code and shes fine
(for now !!) shes done 170,000 miles so probably due an O2 sensor -
question is how many wires on the O2 sensor so I can order the correct

My '94 960 is starting to make noise by the left front wheel whenever I hit
any sort of bump.  I am guessing the problem is with ball joint but may be
related to the strut.  Would you routinely replace both parts of both sides
if you were taking it apart?  (I mean the cartridge, ...

When I apply the brakes at around 30-40 mph there is a "shudder" through
the steering wheel.  You don't really feel it through the seats, mainly
just through the steering wheel.
By shudder I mean that the steering wheel vibrates and wiggles back and

I have a pretty beat 89 760 turbo wagon that may or may not pass my
next california smog test. I wish to turn the car into the calif.
retirement program for the $1000. that they pay but the car has to fail
the smog test. Are there any easy sure fire ways to make sure that will

My Dads volvo (1993 240e) has had a stalling problem for ages now.  One
journey it will work fine, but if he does another journey quickly after
(like popping into a shop) then the car stalls on the way home, could stall
2-3 times even only going a couple of miles.

Can anyone help me get my hands on a replacement radio for a 1991 Volvo 240.
It is a wierd shape, as is the slot in the dash for it, and it seems that
nothing but the original radio type will fit.
Thanks in anticipation

Wanted to see if anyone could help with my stalling problem on an '88
240...
Car starts fine, purrs like a kitten at idle, and runs very smoothly
at speed.  However, there's a slight hitch in getting to cruising

Greetings all,
I tore in to my car over the weekend to try to determine why my seat
heater didn't work...and why the power for my seat back only moved ove
side of the seat back.

I know I am preaching to the choir, but here goes:
I caught myself telling my wife today, "You know, most Americans simply
want a car that will last 10 years and 100,000 miles."
Then I looked at the Volvo and realized it was 20 years old and had

Hi, and apologies for not read backward over the thousands of posts here.
Due to a recent accident (not my fault, was rear ending), I am having to
bring forward my search for a newer car.
I have whittled it down to choices, either a BMW 5 Series Touring or a Volvo

Hallow!
I've got strange system of free turns in my engine. I set the free turns by
the screw, I can set the free runs in level what I want,..for example : 500
rpm or 1300 rpm. But I observed,that I 've got Idle Control Valve too. It's

Hello group,
We acquired a 1987 760 Turbo wagon last year.  Just under 160,000 miles,
seemingly reasonable shape but no promises made. Had been used for mostly
short local trips last few years. A sticker indicates that the belts were

We have been having some wild weather this weekend. When I got in the
car this morning the back passenger carpet was soaked. When driving the
car a few feet then braking I could hear liquid sloshing from the back
of the car all the way forward. It sounds like water got into the body
