Wow, it actually runs!17 May 2007 19:35 GMT7
Some of you have been following my Megasquirt EFI conversion on a 240T.
Tonight I finished up the assembly, turned the key, and the thing actually
fired up! I was shocked, I hadn't even done much in the way of configuring.
Still needs a lot of tuning, and I still need to get some ...
Hi beams won't turn off17 May 2007 19:01 GMT5
If my wife uses the hi-beams on her 1993 245, they won't turn off.  Is
this likely to be a relay problem?  And if so, is it like the tendency
for the OD relay solder joints to fail?
Purchase a 960?17 May 2007 14:37 GMT4
Hi Folks...
My 87 240 wagon has gone to the great car repair in the sky due to a
too-expensive to repair accident. I'm driving a 92 940 sedan which is
ok BUT......it isn't my wagon. With the little insurance money and
broken radiator-hose connection fixable?17 May 2007 14:25 GMT11
the upper radiator-hose connection snapped-off, hose intact, and the
connection appears to be plastic. on a volvo? does a radiator have
replaceable parts or do you have to replace the whole thing in this
situation? it appears that both sides of the radiator have plastic
Question on 740 power antenna:16 May 2007 19:27 GMT4
Its my 92 740 turbowagon.    The antenna was gone, snapped off at
base. I bought a new antenna and installed it. The plastic track to
make it go up/down went in OK.  However, the motor doesn't work, so I
just installed it extended.  I opened up the panels and to my surprise
740 Speedo oddity16 May 2007 17:41 GMT5
Good day,
See if you can figure this out.
The speedometer/odometer in my 85 740 has been flaky for some time.
Sometimes works sometimes doesn't. Mostly works.
Bringing the old girl back to life15 May 2007 12:07 GMT22
I need some help.
My 17 year old son has inherited the family '85 245 turbo.
It has been sitting unused for WAY too long.
Now it seems that besides running a bit rough
It's alive!14 May 2007 20:45 GMT13
Well today I went about wiring up the ignition to Megasquirt. Nothing is
finalized, there's wires draped all over at the moment but the 242 fired up
this afternoon and runs as well as it ever has. So far I'm only using MS to
run the ignition, but once my gaskets show up I'll ...
Check Engine Light, No Codes14 May 2007 20:40 GMT4
OK, this is a puzzler.
The CEL is on in my 1995 850 (non-turbo).  It comes on about 5 seconds
after the car is started and remains on.  There are NO codes.  The only
 blink code is the "I'm OK and there are no other codes" code.  My OBD

92 / 240 vibrates13 May 2007 20:41 GMT4
The 92 240 sedan I bought today vibrates when I take off (roughly from 0km/h
to 15km/h) and when I slow down (rougly 15 km/h to 0 km/h) to stop. The
previous owner advised me that the car "may need brake work like roters"
which I can attribute some of the stopping vibration to. ...
850 -92 converted automatuc>manual, ignition problem13 May 2007 15:12 GMT2
1. When the auto gearbox collapsed I decided to rebuild with a manual
instead. All is well and fine, the car performs nicely with only one
hitch. Every now and then, when to engine is strained it seems as if the
ignition "fails", the car has a hiccup or however to describe it ...
Reliable auto repair in Fremont, CA for volvo?13 May 2007 00:46 GMT2
Does anyone have any recommendations for trustworthy and competent auto
repair for my Volvo in the Fremont, CA, area?
855 TDI ATF change works miracles on gearbox - change regularly!!!12 May 2007 15:44 GMT1
No question (I had asked some time ago without getting a reply) but a
recommendation for other new 850 automatic transmission owners. I bought mine
with 210.000 km, 10 years old, well serviced but without ATF change. Volvo
recommends no change for lifetime except under hard ...
[240] Interesting brake deal12 May 2007 14:42 GMT1
Master cylinder went out on my '83 245 so I figured as long as I had to
visit all four corners to bleed the brakes, I might as well replace the
pads.
I discover they were only half worn but one was squeaking, chattering,
