I have inherited a 1989 240 station wagon with a bent valve.   I would

My wife's 240 is running very rich  about every 3or 4 months I have to
replace the spark plugs. I've already tried replaceing the air flow
meter, no help  It  runs better with out it  pluged in.  Not that its

the hope that it gives me just that little bit more to get me to the petrol

In Australia, just looking at a 2000 model V70 T5 (184kw) 7 seater.
Are there any issues that I need to look out for with it.
It has 175000km on it.
What sort of life can I expect out of the turbo and the motor.

I had Volvo do a flush recently, but I want to drain and put in a
filter. The manual says 8 quarts, but is there oil left in the torque

I cant find a replacement filter online, does this 5 speed auto have
