Hello Volvo expert or who ever fixed this problem,
   I have Volvo S70 non turbo and my car's Air Pump is not working.
When I checked the damaged pump, I saw water and I don't know how it
endup there? Now I have bought a used Air Pump.

Hello, I'm in the UK and have cracked my 1999 s40 rear passenger side
light cover.  I believe I need to replace the whole light "cluster" is
this correct (and is this the correct terminology)?  If so does anyone
know fairly cheap places to get hold of one of these clusters.

Upon finding the low side of my a/c system to test pressure, I noticed that
the box next to the antifreeze and power-steering fill tanks (which contains
two computers from the looks of it), is fed air from the climate control
system to cool the computer modules.

On my V70 I know my air conditioning isn't working and double checking
for leaks though think its the evap.   In the meantime sometimes when I
start the car, the red indicator lights on the recirc button and air
condition off button start flashing for a minute or two.   What does

Went and bought  some "black magic", and this made it look new...for a
few hours or a day. then was faded again.  I it going to need
flat-black paint of some kind?

I am looking for a workshop manual for my 1986 Volvo 240GL manual w/
overdrive wagon, preferably sourced in Australia.  I have the Haynes manual
but it lacks the detail I need.  I need detailed schematics, wiring diagrams
and theory:  The comprehensive manual would also be a boon ...

On my 88 Camry, two screws could be removed on the ignition key
switch and then you could clean the contacts. This fixed the no-start
/no-rotate problem it had.  The 92 740 turbo wagon does the same thing
intmt. Am pretty sure it is either the starter lock-out switch on

Its a 92 Volvo 740  wagon. turbo engine. Its down-shifting out of high
gear way too early. Hard to keep it in high gear (OD)  Which way do I
turn the kick-down cable adjustment to fix this?  Would save a whole
lot of driving/experimenting to know this.    Thanks, Geronimo

We haven't owned a Volvo since our 1980 DL which we sold 1985.  This past
Saturday we took delivery of a new S80 (Black with Taupe interior)...  I'm
loving this car!
Any 2006 S80 owners experience anything I should be aware of?

I've come to believe that a "24 hour" rule exists on my Volvo. It's
like I make an adjustment and I don't notice anything. 24 hours later,
I start the car and the changes take effect.
One example is my idle. I think I am fighting pinhole vacuum leaks and

Hello Volvo expert or who ever fixed this problem,
   I was told my dealer that my AC is leaking(small)  through the
evaporator(if I fill, the AC will be there for only 5 to 7 months).
Is there any solution to stop this leak ?

I have a 89 740 Turbo Intercoller and put a new engine in it and need
set my idle as it is at about 1500 rpm at idle?
Does anyone know how to adjust the idle lower?
Thanks!

Here's my question: Why does a car need a vacuum cannister? Mine is
broken, it's in a crappy location to access and I want to replace mine.
So, I am planning on buying a vacuum cannister and mounting it in
another location. But why do I need it?
