240 rotor and hub swap into 740
By HardBaz
I have some slotted and drilled rotors on my 1990 245, I am thinking of (if possible) swap rotors to a 1987 volvo 745 turbo. Is there any restrictions? is this even possible???

As it arrived Back was full of various parts too It was a great starting point. Arizona car most of... Read more
Leaking Gas While Drifting
By Wheel_Wizard
Hi guys, My Volvo 740 sedan is constantly leaking gas, seemingly through the gas cap. I assume the fuel is getting pushed out while drifting, and the gas cap doesn’t seal properly. The gas cap also doesn’t "click" when tightened after refueling—it just spins infinitely. I know my Volvo 850’s cap "clicks" when it's tight enough, but I’m not sure if that's just an 850 feature. Does anyone maybe have a solution for this?
Volvo 940 e code TYC headlamps - anyone else use these?
By NLRegina
Good afternoon, I recently bought a set of aftermarket e codes from Swedish car parts to install on my car. Instalation was identical to regular e codes, and everything seemed to fit together well/wire up correctly. I did also use a set of the RSR connectors from penta, since they were not provided in the kit. Anyways, after the install and confirmation of function, the aim was off, which is to be expected at first. But when I went to aim them upward, they appear to not aim very far... Read more

1993 Volvo 240 wagon Replace odometer reset button; Instrument panel Replace instrument bulbs & Clean panel Window
By AlaskanPrincess
Odometer reset button broken. Since I need to have a mechanic do work on my car I make every effort to have all needed parts before making appointment. I also try to have any additional work done in ‘the immediate area’ ... Does the instrument cluster have to be removed to replace the odometer reset button? Tips? Diagrams? Pics? I need to purchase odometer reset button, part number 1384775. will I need any other parts? It seems logical to have cluster panel / window cleaned and bulbs... Read more

By Drew745T
Hello members, My brick suddenly died on my way to work stopped at a red light idling, it does crank but don't start ! 1991 Volvo 740 Wagon Turbo B230ft M46 So I did some diagnostic and the Fuel Pump relay don't turn on, I have tried 2 other relay for fun I had and properly working, I even tried another good Interference Relay in the engine compartment and nothing fixed it ! Fuse 11 don't get voltage from the relay so both pump won't run, even if I jump voltage to the pin of... Read more
Tach lack ?
By kydave19
My work in progress: 1989 Volvo 240DL was rough when I recently bought it. No radio at all, just a hole, which I've now filled with a Sony AM/FM CD player successfully! However, my cluster has a clock (working) where I'd like to see a tach. However, I'm open to the possibility of putting a tach in the space to the left of the radio. Suggestions on whether it'd be cheaper and easier to leave the clock as is & install aftermarket tach (52mm?) in circled spot in photo or if I am likely to... Read more
The Volvo-powered Willys CJ3a
By itlksez
I had a small thread elsewhere on here, but Photobucket tanked it. Rather than try to fix that one, I'll start over here. I'm 12 years deep into a build that is taking a 1949 Willys Jeep and a 1987 Volvo 740 to end with a very street and dirt friendly rig. Almost every part of this has been hand built. The following will be a story through pictures, since I don't have... Read more
Door lock rod clip? 1990 Volvo 245
By Thoragaverung
Hi, I spent some time this morning swapping my outer driver's door handle into the rear door on my 245 and the handle from the rear door forward. The driver's handle wasn't broken but it has lots of slop. I figured it was better to have a sloppy handle on the door tht is rarely opened. Apparently while fiddling around I knocked the rod loose in the rear door that connects (ultimately) to the lock knob. You guessed it, the door would not open. It tok me an hour to remove the door card from... Read more

World's Best Gift: 1970 Volvo 145S
By TouzinFish
October 2024 After owning 40+ Volvos, I've met a lot of awesome people, and have realized that while Volvos are great, the fellow enthusiasts are often better. I recently received a very cool car with a very, very cool story from a very, very, very cool guy. I'm excited to start this thread, here we go! A few years ago, I sold my 1991 Volvo 240 Wagon 5-Speed to a nice guy named Jeff over in the Portland area, who drove the car from Boise to Portland and has been taking... Read more

By just_some_guy
Howdy This will be a progress/maintenance/modification log thread for my 1993 Volvo 240 Classic. This is a car I daily, so I have no choice but to maintain it as much as possible. Limited edition maroon #1566 of 1600. Wanted an LH 2.4 car and something 1991+ for the better AC system. Would have liked a manual, but this one was too nice to pass. Will try to piece parts together for a manual swap (eventually). Car was bought sign unseen. Bought one-way plane ticket and drove it home 8... Read more
1968 142S - Another White Volvo?
By GeorgiaTechFan12
After selling my 92 245, I was on a quest to try something new and venture into the more classic Volvo models. You could say I got jealous of all the chrome and classic styling that Volvo was doing in the 60s. I knew that the 140 series was something that was a little different, but still had that old school Volvo charm. The 140s struck me as the unforgotten series, the Amazon before screams classic design and the 240 after is beyond a cult classic. I've also always loved stuff that leans... Read more
1985 Volvo 745T Vacuum Hoses?
By Action
I've got a very early 1985 (actually I believe that it is either the first wagon in the US or nearly the first) 745T that my Dad purchased in October of 1984. Its been a real joy to own over the years, but has fallen into some disuse/disrepair. One area that I am looking to address is vacuum hose connections. I can see and find a number of the vacuum lines and have replaced them, however I cannot find info or lines for the connections through the firewall on the drivers side (LF). There... Read more
I need a k-jetronic expert to help me…
By Big_Smith
I have a 1983 Volvo 242 turbo and the problem I’m having is a crank no start. Here is the break down. When it’s 75+ degrees ambient temperature outside it only cranks no starts. When it’s 60 or below degrees it will start with light/little feathering of the gas pedal. The fuel relay is right under the steering column so I can grab it and feel it click when the key is in accessory mode and a humming in the engine bay. This only last 1-2 seconds. It seems to happen only when it’s 75+... Read more
Integrated bulbs in dashboard switches (Solved)
By BrickBarry
Hello everyone. What comes to 940's interior lights, I think topic of re-soldering leds or bare bulbs on Volvo's customs interior bulbs is well covered. I have developed some good combinations from cold and warm white leds that keep the original look. When fixing bulbs for my '97 940, I noticed that integrated bulbs inside rheostat (dimmer) and in headlight range (height) switches were also burned out. Unlike other bulbs, these are not meant to be changed but there is quide how to change... Read more
Options I wish our cars had from Volvo.
By dl242gt
240 I wish there were color matched headlight and grill trim and mirrors on all of the cars after 86. 240 Color matched bumpers would have been a nice option. The IPD blizzard car looked great. 240 leather gear shift trim on all cars. These were expensive cars they should have more than just rubber around the shifter. 240 egg crate grill available on the 86+ cars in the US. 240 late model GLT package available for US 86+ 240 G80 in all cars starting in 1990. 240 A cool badge like the...

1987 volvo 760 turbo wagon
By kolebyp
I have recently started restoring a 1987 Volvo 760 turbo wagon that has been sitting for almost 20 years (last registered in 2007). I refreshed the fuel system and pretty much fired right up. It had a small stumble at 4,500 rpm and I figured I would sort it out later... long story short I put tires on it, drove jt around my shop, and then it kind of became difficult to get it to fire up, which then turned into a cyl 1 miss fire. Replaced cyl 1 injector, wasnt the issue (was slightly a low... Read more
Volvo m46 j type overdrive dropping out
By Hickey240
Was driving my Volvo changing the transmission oil. Drive in overdrive for 10 minutes then dropped out. I was certain I over filled it so let it drain from full cap while hot came back in a hour topped off the oil/didn’t need any as it started pouring out as soon as I added. Test drove again overdrive worked for 30 minutes then dropped out again. When it dropped out both times the solenoid will fire and light will come on but it doesn’t want to go back in once it drops out. I figure I still... Read more
Meyle Vs Febi: who's better for Volvos?
By resunoiz
Due to fact I have to put hand under the egine for the OD 4th gear switch, I decided is time for the engine/trans mounts for my 240 B19A. I contacted Volvo with the OE codes and they said that the trans mount n° 1221967 "does not exist" and the engine ones 274110 and 274111 are not actually available, they not have any arrival/availability date. So I have to stick on aftermarket. I see that febi is the most common online and saw it in a lot of threads around. I saw that... Read more
Wife, I need a car
By pinguin
For the past few years, I've been driving a 2011 Forester. It had standard 15 year old Subaru issues (significant oil leakage, worn out mount, rusting exhaust, etc.) The plan was to replace a couple dented doors with junkyard units paint it one color, pull the engine and refresh it. Then we had a hail storm come through and it took it hard. The next day, @MistrThou messaged me out of the blue, saying he was told he could get a motorcycle if he got rid of his Volvo. He wasn't...
