I have an '89 745 GL. It is stressing me out lately. I need to know if
you have any ideas about why it would stay in gear longer than normal.
The transmission seems to stay in second longer than it should before
shifting.

OK, picking up where I left off:
1. Pulled the in-tank sending unit out to see why car stalls under 1/4
tank gas in turns. I broke wiring inside the sending unit.

I just want to be sure I am not missing something, because I did hard-
wire a 1988 model unit onto a 1987 car, and they units are different,
but the wires are the same.
I tested the wires on the unit with an ohmmeter to make sure I knew

I got the leak on the condenser fixed and it is ready to recharge as
soon as engine repair is complete.  I have Haynes and CHilton manuals
but neither gives info on specific amounts for ac recharge, or normal
operating pressures. I looked all over for a sticker with this info

I was wondering why my car doesn't like to start after it drives through
slush and rain.  It just sounds like it's flooded and if it doesn't start it
has a terrible time trying to.  If left for a while like a day or half a day
it will start once it's dried.

Y'all,
A post in another car forum warned of a shortcoming API rated oils may have
regarding cam wear. The question relates to lubricating oils with reduced
zinc dithiophosphate (ZDDP) in engines. http://www.ttalk.info/Zddp.htm

Before purchasing my 1994 Volvo 850 Wagon, the owner had his mechanic
put in a new fuel pump and fuel filter.  He said the fuel pump relay
was relatively new.  He did not put on the one I had sent.
The car stalls out, especially when going around a sharp corner like a

Does anyone have any information about  SU 2.8 Lit
carburetor which installed in some old V6, 760 and 260 models.

I just replaced my in-tank sending unit from one from the parts yard.
I swapped out the whole assembly.
The car started fine, then enroute to the gas station began to run
VERY rough. I added 1/3 tank fuel and the gauge works, but I had to

MY volvo will not start.  If I pull out the no1 fuse and put it back it will
turn but no ignition. If I dont pull the fuse before i turn the ignition key
it wont turn on the fuel pump.  WHat can be wrong with it?

My 240 headlight lenses are getting yellow...
How do I clean them up and make them clearer.
My brother said to use car wax,,, but that
didnt work..

Well, as my search for the 945 to replace my 245 has not succeeded yet,
and since the old 245 was leaking more oil than the Exxon Valdez, I had
the front seals fixed, alternator belts replaced, and new timing belt
kit and water pump installed.

Group,
        I've got a 90'  740GL wagon w/200000 mi. and I just replace the
transmition mount and rear shocks. It still had a noise in the motor and I
isolated it to the water pump going out so I replaced that and now I've

Digging out the Volvos today from the foot or so of snow we got
yesterday, I noticed that my wife's 1993 245 had dripped some very clean
looking fluorescent yellow fluid on the snow.  It was located about a
foot ahead of the rear wheel marks, just to the right of the centerline.  ...
