Hi everyone this is my first post here. Its good to find a wealth of
knowledge and expertise on these great cars. Thanks in advance.

indoor temperature sensor (just behind the grid on the control console) is
broken. VOLVO won't replace the sensor en won't tell the value of the NTC.
Replacement of the whole unit will cost over 600 euro's ...

and found a puddle had formed from a leak coming somewhere from the front of the
tank. As far as I can tell the gas is flowing

I have a 97 V70 with 160km on the clock. After the engine heats up I

stopping at lights) the car looses power for a few seconds, as if the
engine is starved of fuel or something (I am not an expert). The RPM

group has any experience with the car we would appreciate ...

I have an '87 760 GLE with the trusty B280F.
I don't know how old the O2 sensor is.  I'm guessing it's quite old, and has
quite a few miles on it.
What's the procedure for testing it?  I'm guessing that I remove the

A couple weeks ago I went to start the car and it started to kick over
like it was going to start then nothing. The battery is good and it

I have lost the gascap for my 122s. I'm not having much luck trying to

Does anyone know where I could get one?
Thanks,

I've been looking around for sometime trying to find a decent volvo
1800. I have never owned a Volvo and I was wondering what to look for
when it came to problem areas.

Is anyone an expert on the side draft SU and Stromberg, jet and
needles?

Do these carburetors, fitted with various needle applications,
