I took my 97' 960 to the Volvo dealer (first time since I've owned it;
used), to have the timing belt replaced (@149kmls).  They advised me
before they were done with it that they had hooked it up to the OCB and
found a code saying that the air mass meter sensor needed to be

I fixed the no-idle problem with the brothers' 92 740 gas/turbo wagon.
A new crankshaft/speed sensor did not fix it at all. So I thought, you
know, a no-idle condition could be caused by a air/vacuum leak. So
when I checked it, it had only 12 in at 3000RPM!  So I checked

I have been noticing a griding/clicking noise in the front right of the
car when I do low speed turns (parking lots, stop signs etc).  It only
happens at low speeds (I put it in neutral going 35 and I could not
hear anything).  It only happens when turning so I am guessing its

Hi I just aquired an 85 Volvo 740GLE turbo-diesel with only 133000 miles on
it. It has a few problems but I think they are easily fixed (mostly electric
switches). I was wondering if anyone out there that has one could give me a
idea of what kind of fuel economy I should expect ...

When I start the car the  red LED lights on the Recycle and Air-Cond
switches cycle on and off for about 20 seconds and then go off.   Another
symptom is that the fan slowly increases in speed and then runs at high
speed in the "auto" speed position. The air-conditioner works ...

My fiance and I are looking for a good home for our 1989 240 DL Wagon.
We bought it used several years ago and have really loved it.  We took
decent care of it, but it definitely does need some work.  It has about
180,000 miles on it.  It is running (we were using it up until a ...

this car? Heater control valve? Climate control thermostat? She's

car the fan remains on for atleast 10 mins as if the the car is over
heating, but the temp gauge shows that its not..Any ideas
