    Mike K? ruin another volvo. 945 pickup build

    By Stiggy Pop

    My Dad and I got on the idea of building a pickup conversion out of a 7/9 as a fun winter project and for me something to haul my dirt bike around in. After some staring at pictures we decided a wagon was the best starting point and I picked up a 1994 945 turbo with 250k on it. It's in typical shape for a cheap 940, needs a little love but a good car to start with. We're not expert metal workers so figured this will be a good project to get a little more practice from. Will be doing lead (or... Read more

    Oil leakage on top of engine

    By Coopers98XC

    Hello my 1998 Volvo V70 xc has a bunch of problems and one of them is that it leaks oil onto the top of the engine. I thought it was the oil filler cap, so I got a new one, still leaking. Now the oil is seeping into the ignition coils causing the car not to start, or stutter. I have done a PCV system check (putting a glove over the oil filler cap and running the car) and it turned out good, I am confused. Does anyone know what is happening??

    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

    Need help with k-jetronic system… again.

    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.
