    '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
