    '90 740 B230F Regina Auto to B230FT Bosch Manual

    By bluemoose

    This car was a one owner garage queen that I acquired in 2015 along with every maintenance record since it was new. It was my daily driver for many years, 80 miles a day, and has made many road trips as well. It has consistently been the one vehicle that just always worked, so what else would a gearhead do but tear it apart! I was still relying on it as a second vehicle until recently, but I have finally been able to 'retire' it and start on the build. I have been gathering parts and putting... Read more

    Dual Circuit Brake Master for Amazon

    By propav8r

    Hey y'all, on my '66 wagon I'd like to set it up with dual circuit brakes, just one line off the master to a tee for the rear drums, and a line off the front of the master to a tee for the front discs. Is the easiest/cheapest way to do this with a dual circuit later Amazon/1800 master cylinder like this? The flange on the firewall looks like there may be a bunch of stuff that fits, potentially cheaper than the... Read more

    Adding headlight relays to 240

    By Mr. V

    I purchased a two relay kit online to deal with headlight flickering which started after I upgraded to LED lighting. The problem is I am confused as to exactly how to hook it up: the instructions are sketchy. In particular I am scratching my head trying to figure which and where the "trigger" wire or wires are and how to hook it all up correctly. Suggestions?

    Ignition Switch for 1993 Volvo 240 Wagon

    By Scott L.

    Hey everyone, I'm looking for an ignition switch for my 1993 Volvo 240 wagon. The radio, windshield wipers, power windows, heater blower, and turn signals all stopped working at the same time, although the engine still starts and runs. I'm suspecting the electrical portion of the ignition switch and would like to find a replacement. Ideally, I'd like an OEM Volvo part or a known-compatible replacement. Does anyone know where I can find one, or does anyone have a good used one available... Read more

    940 fan relay

    By haydnharvespa

    good evening, i will make this short and simple. my 940 with efan overheated (lots of smoke out the hood) waiting for a drawbrige. coolant totally boiled over. Opened the hood, and my electric fan relay was just violently buzzing and vibrating instead of powering the fan. that means inadequate voltage? i pulled on the thick red power wire and it came out of its sleeve. drove home once it cooled down and temp gauge stayed in the middle. Anyone know how to test the relay? Should I do a... Read more

    Why are my brakes farting?

    By Vibe Father

    I have a 1990 740 Turbo wagon AT with ABS. Video of farting: When driving home about a week ago, my brakes lost pressure. The pedal would go to the floor and the car would very slightly slow down. When I stabbed the gas, the car would actually brake. Those seemed like classic master cylinder seal issues, so I swapped the master cylinder with an IPD unit, bolted everything back up, bled the brakes (RR, RL, FR, FL), and when I go to press the brake pedal it sinks to the...

    Another shaved head thread...but with VX content

    By Alan29

    Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) I'm in a situation where my broken stud repair has forced me to remove the head. I am going to drop the head off at the shop this week to deal with the studs and clean up the head. I figure this would be a good opportunity to shave it and get a little more power out of it. The car in question is a 93 240 m47 with the auto 3.73 hawg ass rear gear telluwhut. I'll be using a VX cam I got at the jy for pretty much free. It's a weekend driver for now and... Read more

    Need help with k-jetronic system… again.

    By Big_Smith

    I need help finding a k-jetronic fuel pressure gauge kit. Every kit I look at is questionable. I look at the reviews and see some people saying it doesn’t work on there k-jetronic system in there 80s Volvo 242 turbo or the kit is shitty quality. If I’m spending $200+ I want a kit that has all the fitting I need and will work for my 1983 Volvo 242 turbo. Please let me know what you guys use! I’m finally accepting defeat and just going to do things the proper way… Also I know some people... Read more

    1997 Volvo 960 gas neck spillage

    By okoye

    Hi if I fill my gas tank at the normal pump rate the gas will spit back through the tube. Is there anyway to fix this? I’ve recently replaced the Rubber tube that goes to the pump from the filler neck as that was leaking when full. What would cause me to have to fill at a annoyingly slow pace?

    Thread size for aw70 cooler ports.

    By rom

    My aw70 is pissing trans fluid out of the stupid cooler fittings on transmission. I?m done with the lot, i don?t feel like bending new lines to replace the rusted ass ones on the car and i?m sure something will blow up as soon as i touch the bolts that hold the lines to the rad. So i ordered a mishimoto cooler, some braided line, but i can?t seem to find what the actual threads are for the trans side so i can adapt to AN fittings

    15 years later, back with a Brick. (Diesel Content)

    Circa 2010. I was 20 and bought my first Volvo. A 1988 244 5-speed with 200,000 miles. Car was a learning experience to say the least. Learned how to rebuild the interior and make things look nice. Met a friend or two along the way. This was me and fellow member Frodosm3 at Qualcomm stadium: Untitled by jacobpockros , on Flickr...

    "Moby Brick" 960 road trip car project

    By capkirk123

    1995 Volvo 960 Wagon Might as well make a thread for my car. I have been looking for a road trip wagon for a while, both for a specific cross-country road trip I intend to undertake in a few months, and just general road trip/miata parts gathering usage. I was originally looking at a Buick Roadmaster or similar, but B-bodies have gotten popular apparently, and people want a lot for one that isn't full of rust holes. Plus I managed to drive (an admittedly somewhat clapped out) one and... Read more

    Instrument cluster arrrgghh!!

    By bynks

    92 240 sedan, picked up last year from sketchy guy, he was obviously flipping it. Perfect interior, low mileage. He had inspected by his buddy, odometer not working but passed inspection somehow... ff 1 year., time for inspection. Pulled instrument cluster, attached wrong wire (i know STUPID) fried speedometer too. No experience with electronic clusters, just cable driven so I shipped it off to a shop to get fixed. Got it back, installed. There's only 5 connections and they only fit one... Read more

    B320 ft timing

    By lvconfounded

    Anybody in the Portland area, I’m in inner NE, (irvington) up for helping me with a timing issue? I warped my head, swapped in a used head from the garage sale, and put it together but can’t seem to get the timing right with my turbo cam, adjustable timing gear, etc. I’m not getting good compression numbers and can’t get it to start. I could use the help of someone who is willing to think through places I’m getting stuck, point, shout, whatever. I’ll turn the wrenches and keep you adequately... Read more

    Find my oil leak

    By mblue240

    My 83 is spraying oil all over the engine bay. It is centralized around the front of the block and down low, so I assumed the front crank seal. Now that I have the car apart, it seems to me that the seal is very dry considering how big the leak is. Around the oil filter and oil pressure sender is dry, so it's not either of those. The only other place I could assume it's leaking from is the seal retaining plate. I'm looking for a second opinion before I replace the seals and find I still have... Read more

    1984 242t Texas

    By atomicdeathmonkey

    Well it only took me 11 years to relocate to a country where I could find one that was rust free. I think Just picked it up today, after following its' sale for about 2 months. Bought it off a towing company, story goes that it was abandoned 3 years ago at a burger joint, towed by the towing company and stored for 796 days at a cost of 20$ per day. With fines etc it wracked up $16,000 in fees so... Read more
