Volvo dealership and there was some great shots of many types of
Volvos.  I saw a 240 sedan and wagon, as well as a 700 series sedan.

I know some of you out there have done this conversion. I'm gearing up to
convert my 240 Turbo to Megasquirt, hopefully no more messing with the

I have a 1998 Volvo V70XC that I am trying to sell, but things keep
going wrong! For the last few months it makes a clicking noise all the
time when it is running. The noise increases with the RPMs, so I
originally thought it was just a problem with a stick in a fan or

Please can anyone help?

The magnetic clutch on the AC compressor will not pull in unless it is
