I currently own a 95 850T.  I have been experiencing problems with the
AC (blower).  If I am idling are running at a low speed, the blower
barely pushes air.  I doesn't matter if I set it on Auto, or manual w/
high speed, it barely works.  If I accelerate rapdily, or run the

My baby is growing up. I turned 200,000 miles today!  Original engine
and tranny!  Wahoo!
Now I can apply for a high mileage badge, I had the car 6 months,
bought her at 195,000 and now she's broken in.

It is the 740 turbo model. It has had an intmt problem with no start
(but cranks fine) for a long while, over a year. Come back to it an
hour later, starts right up usually.  THis time, whatever it is, I
think has gone out again and is  staying bad.....so now it can be

hey everyone.  I was wondering if there is a trick to taking off the
rear door panels of a '89 volvo 740 in order to get at the riveted-in
speakers so that i can replace them with some better ones.
thanks in advance

I've been reading here and on the brickboard about the in-tank fuel
pump, the filter sock and the bellows hose.
Sometimes when I get to about 1/3 tank of gas and make a right turn,
the car sputters until I straighten out, then it goes back to normal.

i'd like to ask to share your experience on either a 262 (my case) or
any other volvo running with a B27.
i recently bought a 262c bertone and it appears to be very greedy on
gas. not that i expected wonders, but currently it appears the car is

I'm a college student with a limited budget looking to buy a car for
school.  I'm currently trying to decide between an 88 or 91 Volvo Wagon
and an early 90's Toyota Celica, both with about 150k miles.
Here's the question:  Which one is likely going to cost more in

I have a '97 850 GLT wagon.  It has held up well.  It has 194,300
miles.  I have noticed that when I go on the highway and get above 60
miles per hour sometimes a noise is emitted for what appears to be the
front of the car.  I simular to  the sound you hear when you are hold

thanks for all those who replied to my initial question about a missing
v-belt for the compressor.
so when i went to check the compressor to see if it turned by hand, and
lo and behold, it didn't. from the replies to my earlier post, i'm

This is just a rant. I know, the 240 a/c motor is much worse than the
740 because you have to remove half the dash.
The 740 blower motor is another kind of pain in the a.s. This is the
kind of pain where someone puts a motor "right there" -- 5 simple, easy

I have a 2000 S70 GLT SE automatic transmission, and regularly the
gearshift button gets stuck in the "in" position without popping back
out when I am done shifting gears (P, R, N, D, etc.). I have to play
around with the button for it to pop out again. Has anyone had this

My wife and I just completed two months of driving around the US in our '05
XC90 V8.  We put over 12K on the car with absolutely no problems at all ---
fantastic road car.  Highway mileage ran 23-24 MPG.
We visited 5 Volvo dealers (4 for oil changes --- we change every 3750

I've got an annoying rattle/vibration in the dash of my S40.  I removed
the instrument cluster to see if I could figure it out..... but
couldn't find the source.  It seems to be coming from somwhere behind
the dash and in front of the driver.  Has anyone had a similar issue or

Hi, Apologies if this has been posted before, I looked, but couldn't
find!
My 960 will not select the blower vent position, it's stuck blowing in
the footwell, and won't change when the selector knob is turned.

I'm replacing a couple broken exhaust manifold studs in my '84 240T,
and I'm wondering if I need to treat the studs with anything before
putting them in.  The crushed nuts have a nice locking mechanism, but
there is nothing that keeps the stud from backing out.  Should I put
