My 1986 Volvo 240GL has suddenly started fouling the plugs in a very short
time.  I have brought it to the local mechanic, discovered it was getting
too much fuel and has replaced the fuel injection ECU, however it hasn't
solved the problem.  He indicated the sensors were OK and ...

Hey this is the first time I have posted in this group so apologies in

I have a 2.0 Volvo S40 (X reg) here in the UK. It has developed a load
squeeking sound when I pull away from stop (usually in first but it has

Well, I decided to break the old Volvo out this weekend. We used to own
a 92 240 Wagon, and we currently have a 95 850 Turbo Wagon. We stopped
driving it entirely. I bought a Tacoma Doublecab with 27K on it and we
have been driving that exclusivly for quite some time. I took the old

Just had alternator replaced on my S80 following which the reversing lights
don't work.  Fuse in the trunk is OK.
Any ideas as to the cause - is there a wire / connection which could have
been disturbed whilst changing the alternator?

I have a '98 V70 2.4. It has been running great, but recently it has
developed a slight stumble at idle. Hard to describe but it feels like
the ignition dies for just a split second, a cylindar (or maybe two?)
misfire, then everything is fine. It is very intermittant, only doing

I am looking at purchasing a 2004 XC70 with 48k.  Everything on it is in
great shape.  While test driving the little gem (the car was warmed up, dry
pavement, 60 degrees, and new tires), when I took it into a few 30mph
corners at about 35-40 , the steering seemed a little sloppy. ...

Hi all ~~
Does anyone have advice on how to change out the bulbs which light up
all the blower, temp controls, air placement (head, middle, feet), etc
on a 2001 S60 2.4 Turbo?  I didn't know where to begin to try and get

I have an '84 244 turbo and the right front tire makes a loud pop sound
with spring noise when making hard left or right turns.  It seems like
something popping back and forth as it will pop once when making right
turns, and then pop back when making a left turn.  I have jacked the

Just purchased a 940 Turbo Wagon from a friend and knowing that I would be faced with a few issues I still went ahead a purchased it.  
The biggest issue is that the battery is draining down. I can't really identify why.  
It is related somehow to the fuel gauge working and then ...

the volvo has always had a small rattling/clunking sound that seemed to
be coming from toward sthe rear of the vehicle (didn't think it was a
big deal since it just passed emissions and inspection) and yesterday
when i was driving home from queens the noise stopped and then a few

I have a 04 S40 (1.9Liter Turbo) with about 42K miles.  Great car, but
on cold startup I get an annoying see-saw creaking noise that goes on
and off at 1 sec intervals for about 1 minute.   I asked the dealer and
they said it was normal aux electr IC vacuum pump (whatever that is)

I want to renew the timing belt on my 740, with the B230E engine.  I
purchased a Haynes manual this morning and don't find it all that clear. It
keeps jumping about round the different models.  Does anyone know if I have
interpreted the manual correctly that you don't need a tension ...

I am a long time BMW owner and self repairer (520i 1984)
I am looking at buying a 1996 Volvo 850 wagon, which I like, but I am
worried about a couple of things. First of all it has done 275,000 kms
(170,000 miles) and the owner is a bit clueless about maintenance, and

Anybody knows the operating temp of the switch in the water-radiator?
I meen the temp the switch is making contact and the temp the switch breaks
contact.
The car is a -88 780  V6.

The Power seat on my '91 940 has stopped working.  I replaced the fuse that
operates it, but that didn't make any difference --- still doesn't work.
Anyone familiar enough with the mechanism to offer some thoughts as to what
might be the problem?
