I was given an '87 240DL.  The odometer was not working.  Replaced
gears.  Still not working.  Replaced cluster after replacing gears in
replacement.  Still not working.   At this point, I want to make sure
the cluster is correctly connected.  The round connector and the half

 I have a 94 850 turbo. The passenger blower fan destroyed itself
making a large hole in the box.
This has all been repaired with a new fan etc.
Now, is that the fan stays on speed 4 even when the ignition is off.

I need to replace my speedometer for my 88 240.  I am already aware
that this is an electronic unit.  I have confirmed that the sending
unit is intact and functioning.  My questions is how to I determine
that I have the right speedo unit.  I have seen some with an identifier

Old beast, you know the ones.  Blinkers work fine.  Put park lights on and
hit LH blinker, park lights go out.  RH blinker, no problems withpark
lights.
Any clues where to start?  Stalk?  Fuese?  Relays......

I was told that my 960's battery's light was on all night a few nights
ago. I went out and the car was dead. We tried to jump the car but we
couldn't get it to crank. Once, a tiny little sound came out but it
never followed through into a real start. The battery lost its charge

I am looking to buy a pre-owned Volvo, preferably in the sub $11,000-12000
range with less than 90k in miles. I wish to have a wagon, but ironically,
my fiancé wants a sedan. We looked at a 2000 S 70se today which had 92k in
miles and the asking price was in the high 10k range. I ...

Looking at my Haynes Manual, it says to pull the camshaft I should
remove the gear. I am replacing my valve shims and hushers and want to
know if I have to disassemble all of this, or can the timing belt be
removed and the cam just unbolted and removed as a unit?

What gas mileage do you get out of your Volvo 850's (non-turbo)?  I'm
currently getting the following mileage in a combination of highway and
city driving and I'm thinking it's exceptionally high:
14.6L / 100km

I was just told that the rear oil seal on my 1994 940 Turbo ( 130,000
miles ) has a slight leak and that it is not serious but the seal will
need to be replaced at some point. They told me that replacing that part
requires dropping the transmission and will cost about $500.00US.

I have a V70 Classic, 150,000 on the clock, with aircon, and which despite
re-gassing still only works (although very well) for about a few minutes
then goes off for about 30 mins (suggests something cooling down / warming
up ?)

Just today my '01 S60's moonroof decided to get stuck in the ajar
position. The four way switch doesn't do a thing.
I think I need to start by getting to the switch, which is in the
overhead console. Any hints on how to open it up, or other

I ordered a tee fitting for the Window Washer on my 1990 740. When it
arrived I tried to blow through it in all directions but found it
wouldn't pass any air at all.
I contacted the supplier and they sent me another one. This one is the

i braked hard the other day in my 76 240DL and now the "idiot brake failure
and handbrake failure" lights wont go out with the engine going.
all systems are working ok also the alternator light comes on
intermittently any ideas welcome

Just need some idea what I'm getting into.  My 2000 S80 T6 with about
51K Kilometers has a ABS warning coming up intermittently.  Turning
off the engine and restarting can clear the message from appearing
again for a few hours up to a few weeks.  Braking appears to be mostly

I have an '87 Volvo 740 Wagon which I dread getting on the freeway for.
It seems like I'm getting 10 mpg on the freeway at speed limit of 65.
I'm not even using the turbo.   When the throttle TPS sensor became
defective, it was like this, so I replaced it, but it's still using up
