91 740 Wagon problems redux12 May 2007 14:30 GMT5
Ok, I posted the other day about this.  Someone said it could be the air
mass sensor, or the coolant temp monitor.
It just got harder and harder to start.
Here's the history again:
5-cylinder diesel variants11 May 2007 18:20 GMT4
The diesel options for the current V70 come in 2 flavours - 163PS and 185PS.
They both have the same 2.4L capacity.
Does anyone know whether the different power outputs are simply due to
chipping - or whether there are any physical differences in the engines?
Chicken clucking sound11 May 2007 18:20 GMT6
In the last couple of weeks, my 1990 240 has started making an odd
noise.  When I start the car, the motor catches and I release the key,
there's a few seconds of a "chicken clucking" noise.  Maybe a turkey
gobble.  Anyone know what that is and whether I should be doing
Idle rpm too high11 May 2007 15:29 GMT3
I have an '83 240 wagon, and I need to get it through emissions, but
they won't test it because it's idling at around 1250, and I need to
get it down to 1100.  Could anyone help me out with this?  I have very
little working knowledge, but would like to attempt this myself, if
Geartronic11 May 2007 13:23 GMT2
According to my local Volvo dealer an increasing proportion of V70s are now
being supplied with Geartronic auto transmissions rather than manual boxes
(and this is in UK, not north America!)
All he could tell me is that it's an auto box with with manual over-ride but
850 Turbo A/C doesn't get cold11 May 2007 07:29 GMT12
I have a 1996 850 that I just bought in November and when I turn on
the A/C it doesn't get cold.  I looked at the manual and it called for
a certain type of freon which I couldn't find in Autozone.  I was
wondering what do I need to get some cold air blowing?  Break this

WHAT THE HECK IS A MEGASQUIRT
V70R BHP Question10 May 2007 09:15 GMT1
I am looking at 2004-2006 V70Rs with an automatic transmission.  I
thought that I had read somewhere that the 2004 and 2005 engines were
de-tuned from their 300bhp capabilities on automatics, as the
transmissions were a weak point.  However this was resolved in 2006

ignition and Solex carb. Auto run pretty when cold,but when it's hot it

J. Sweet: source for temp sensor?09 May 2007 17:30 GMT3
Re: 92 740  turbo wagon B230FT.... dash temp gauge.....
I pulled off the eng. coolant temp sensor conn. and jumped it....the
gauge then went full-scale, so that shows that there is no abnormal
external resistance. It may not be the normal failure mode for a
89 760 Turbo engine shutting down!09 May 2007 13:26 GMT7
My 760 Turbo will be running along fine, then suddenly the engine just
stops!  In a few moments, it will start again and run for weeks
without problems. Could it be the fuel line, or perhaps an electrical
problem?
97 850 T-5 : Computer Mileage lower than Actual?09 May 2007 11:00 GMT6
97 850 T-5 with 200K Miles.
Several months ago I was getting the trip MPG to show 32-34 MPG for a
highway run on my way home from work. Kind of a game for me to
maximize this.
740 Speedo Problem09 May 2007 03:38 GMT4
Speedometer does NOT work. Does anyone know where I can begin to look for my
speedometer problem? Are there any "recurring" problems with these things?
TIA
Dan Stern dropped the ball -- need new headlight source.08 May 2007 16:29 GMT8
I need a new source for something like 80W Osrams or German quality
H-4 for my e-codes. Dan communicated with me about 20 days ago -
suggesting what to buy, so I e-mailed him the order and voice-mailed
my credit card information. I placed the call and e-mail on about
mirror glass08 May 2007 03:33 GMT2
Does anyone know if the mirror glass is replaceable on an 89 740? I
believe they are the cable operated and not electric if that matters.
Was backing out of the driveway and bam the glass part just hit the
ground and broke.
