My 2001 V70XC AWD only has 55K miles on it and it's been babied, but 2
days ago it starting rolling while in Park while making a faint
clicking sound. This does NOT sound good and obviously I need to keep
my emergency break on when I park to keep it from rolling (not unlike a

About a couple weeks before it died I had been noticing hesitancy or no
"juice" when driving, off and on. Especially on a hill where you need
more "juice".
If this is a fuel filter problem, where would I find it on my car?

1990 740GL is rattling underneath at various RPMs.  I ducked under for a
look-and-listen, and it seems the cat converter is the source of the
rattle.  It doesn't seem loose, so I assume something inside is broken
loose.

My 1984 242 has developed a strange idle. It currently has 199,000 miles
and last had plugs and rotor cap replaced a few thousand miles ago.
The engine speed at idle is speeding up and slowing down and sort of
"surging". This has begun in the last thousand miles. It also has a

Hi I have intermittent problems starting my car.   When I turn the key
to start the engine, the lights and dash lights all come on and then I
get the X through the car light flashing on my dash and the car won't
start.   after 10-15 tries I might get lucky or if I turn it really

Can anybody give a repair manual recommendation for the 1969 850 TDI (diesel)
station wagon with automatic transmission? There is a Haynes Manual which covers
only gasoline models, ISBN: 1859602606. There is another one from Haynes ISBN:

The turning lock on my V70 is far less than on my old 740.
Is it possible to make the V70 lock greater

I've got what I think is a bad flasher relay for my 1992 740 Volvco
wagon. I want to replace it myself. Assuming it's near the other relays
on the board behind the fuses, how do I remove the fuse board and the
"relay board" so I can replace the flasher relay?  Thanks very much.

I recently bought this car with 182,000 miles on it. After a short
period of time, it seemed to start losing a little power. Actually it
seemed as if it was losing torque. It would wind out more before
shifting and would seem to shift more between drive and overdrive.

I have been driving Volvos for 40 years and never heard of the TDI. I
have driven in Europe countless times and never saw a car with TDI on
it.  I am assuming it is a european diesel model.  They are very
uncommon in the USA.  Is their anything else special about a TDI?  When
