Newbie to this group although been trolling for a few weeks. I've looked for
a charter and/or FAQ but no luck so please accept apologies if this post is
not appropriate here. I have a Volvo C30 but not sure if this group is for
current or classic Volvos - I am sure you will let ...

I'm looking at my Chiltons manual, and it shows the various engine
configurations, and it does not show a MAF for a 91 740 Regina,
non-turbo.  The 960 shows an MAF which resembles part I received from a
dealer.

I found a 1985 240 Wagon, thats in my price range (300-600) and is in
decent shape. Seats are firm, clean and nice, dash is nice, new tires,
strong clutch, OD works and has 207K miles on it. And it handles real
nice when I drove it.

Does anyone know if an 89 240 and 740 8 valve 4 cylinder bosch
injected engine use the same injectors? Are they interchangable?

I am trying to remove the diesel injectors  from my 1997 V70.
They seem to be stuck in position and "reasonable" pulling force doesn't
seem to remove them.
They do seem to be able to turn, so I guess they are in O ring seals and

I just purchased a 1999 V70 Wagon, used.
I am really new to Volvo's, and am very impressed with the quality.
Just taking it around, and feeling it out. I took it for a ride last
night, and noticed something strange.

Last summer I purchased an '89 DL wagon, my second brick. It ran
perfectly for months, then started smoking out of nowhere one day.
Then it started clicking...then stalled all the time. Now it won't
even turn over. So here's my question...do you guys think the engine's

I am using Lucas motor oil additive  in the motor oil. It was highly
recommended to me as an alternative to those teflon-based additives.
I was also told that the transmission additive is good for the tranny
as well. Is it worth the $$$ to use the tranny additive as well?

Anyone know where to look for this issue? I do not have a service tech book
on this car, not sure what it is. Car seems to be running fine.
Thanks for any advise.

I had kept an old post about the VW part that fits 240s to make a
variable intermittent wiper. My hard drive crashed and I lost my
history.
Would appreciate knowing the VW part number that accomplishes this.

I'm replacing the front brakes on a 2001 V70.  Got the calipers,
brackets, pads and small 6mm bolt out.  There is nothing else obviously
holding the rotor on except rust (!), and that's currently soaking in PB
Blaster.  Before I go back (after finishing this beer) to tap on it

I have a growing problem with excessive crankcase pressure in my 90
240.  I checked the usual suspects: the flame trap and hoses.  All
were clear.  I assumed the "breather box" was clogged or severly
restricted.  I replaced the box and everything above it with new

My 1991 740 wagon radio isn't working properly.  When it's on there's a
terrible electronic noise coming from all speakers.  The noise is worse when
I operate anything electric (power windows or turn signals for example).  It
never gets better, only worse.  Needless to say I don't ...

I just called in for my 200k medallion and the guy told me that he
thought they had some more medallions in stock, but when these run
out, they are going to be replaced by a letter and a sticker.
So, if you like the hunk of metal, don't delay in requesting yours.

What is the proper torque value for the wheel lug bolts on a 2001 V70
(alloy wheels, if that makes a difference)?
TIA...
