    Seek and find - My Scotia Blue 1983 Volvo 242

    By uberbrick

    I recently sold my black 244 (Cali / US import) because I finally found an '83 Volvo 242 to replace it! Solid 242's are hard to find here in Europe, especially in the Netherlands where 1981+ 242's rarely are for sale. So after some tough negotiations with the PO we came to a deal. Anyway, here it is, in beautiful Scotia Blue. It has a solid running B21 engine with upgraded cam, manual M47 gearbox and a custom exhaust. It also has all the fun 52mm gauges and original Volvo rear window... Read more

    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

    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?

    "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

    '67 122s, in way over my head

    By spock345

    About two months ago my '89 240 gave its life to save mine. Having the poor financial sense that I do I didn't take the hint the universe gave me to stick with only one car during the current socio-economic climate. So I drove almost to Tahoe from Santa Cruz, CA to pick up a car I have wanted for a long while. A 1967 Volvo 122s in light green (no idea why they call it green). One year off of my ideal choice of '68-'69 but I can deal with that. ... Read more

    Help fix oil leak

    By Reid_sickafoose

    I need help fixing my oil leak or where to find replacement parts on my 1990 Volvo 740 turbo wagon. So I think these are the lines that go to the oil cooler, and the leak is pretty bad. It’s about a drip every couple minutes. I just cleaned the pcv system. I think the drip might be coming from the connection between the two lines, but the line above the connection is wet and that is confusing me. If anybody has had this problem or has any information on how to fix it, any help is appreciated.

    Volvo 940 Rex Regina Fuel Pump Alternatives

    By TomServo

    Hello! I had to replace my 1994 Volvo 940’s (normally aspirated with Rex Regina) fuel pump over the summer. It was found with very low pressure, about 15psi. The relay and fuse are good and the filter is new. It failed again recently. I checked the pressure and saw it down to 7psi before it failed. Does anyone know of another pump that could work in the single in tank pump Rex Regina set up? I’ve heard of people using the Walbro GSS342. Has anyone had luck with this or know what... Read more

    Bright Silver paint code the same for cars and OEM wheels?

    By FlyingTog

    I'm not on social media or any other Volvo sites. Trying to find out if the Bright Silver paint code (711) is the same for wheels and cars. So far I haven't found anything that says they're not but no confirmation that they are either. Trying to get my Pegs refinished and I want to make sure I get the right color put on them. P.S. The internet sucks now.

    Volvo 940 rear door stuck closed after replacing exterior handle. Won't open from inside or outside

    By gtejegar

    Hi everyone, I'm having an issue with the rear door of my Volvo 940 after replacing the exterior door handle, and I'd appreciate some advice before I start taking things apart again. Yesterday, I replaced the exterior handle, and everything seemed to work perfectly. I tested opening and closing the door several times from both inside and outside, with no issues. However, as soon as I locked the car and tried to unlock it again, the door became completely stuck. Here's what I've noticed... Read more

    240+t build and 2/7/940 Ecu and Ezk questions

    Hi there guys I have a 1993 volvo 244 N/A +t its an LH 2.4 car and it’s got a td04 13c, 940 intercooler and rad, orange top injectors with a 0 280 000 954 ecu and a 0 227 400 207ezk. The computers were from an unknown turbo egr car so they throw codes but I don’t believe that would cause any running issues, correct me if i’m wrong. The car has had all the afr lean/rich codes since being turboed but for the most part has run well once the computers adapt. I have a wideband gauge but I believe... Read more
