Hello all I have a 1996 Volvo 940 with a b230fk and a m90, the only options it has from factory are sunroof and the turbo I guess, I've been told before that if I just bought a set of leccie mirrors and the control panel (as well as the plain mirror covers) that it would just plug in to the factory harness? I can see this being true but just wanted to see if anyone had done/could confirm this? Thank you <3 (fyi its a uk market car)

Hi! I'm from Norway For a bit of context: I have a Volvo 740 with a B230A engine and M47 gearbox. I'm going to use the same gearbox (because M90 diesel gearbox are hard to find) but I'm going to weld the clutch housing so that it fits the D5252T. I'm also converting the D5252T to fully mechanical with a dieselpump from a VW Transporter 2,4L Diesel (AAB engine) so that I don't have to struggle with the electrical wiring. I was just wondering if you could have used the stock flywheel from... Read more

I'm in the middle of a heater core replacement on a '95 940. The yellow line is currently plugged and I fished some broken stuff out of the vents. I haven't split the box yet, will do that today. Questions: What is the green book number for this HVAC stuff? Is is at Oz? What is currently available to replace the 2 way floor / defrost actuator? I've got Volvo # 9463042 (3522945) & Delco # 15-71438 and can't find anything to buy. What's this busted thing for and am I missing pieces. Center... Read more

Overview Over the last few years, simple handheld battery-powered oscilloscopes have become available for less than $40. This thread is about the FNIRSI DSO152 oscilloscope, and how it can be used for automotive diagnostics. The examples here are from a Volvo Redblock Engine with a Bosch LH2.4 Fuel Injection System (pre OBD-II). Many other cars of the same era, late 1980s and early 1990s, have similar systems. The information is split up over several posts: - Overview and What to... Read more

https://imgur.com/a/mC9pEmk For some reason when I go to post pictures from imgur here with the button that looks like a mountain, it says it is unable to post the pics. The link at the type should (maybe) get y'all to the album though. If not I'll have to figure something out So I've been on this forum for many years now, but haven't been active for a few now as I haven't had a Volvo. The itch to get one has been getting worse so I set out in finding the cheapest one I could for the least amount... Read more

Stupid. Owned Volvo 240s and now a 740 for 40 years. Car started running poorly with some hesitation and bucking. I checked fuel pressure + sometimes got 28 PSI sometimes 23 and I figured my fuel pump was on its way out. I had the shop replace the fuel pump + the fuel filter to no avail. I then replaced the fuel pressure regulator initially with a 2.5 bar unit and then subsequently with a three-bar unit also to no avail. Pinched the return hose and removed the vacuum hose still 28 PSI. With... Read more

Hi, i just recently bought myself a Volvo 940 B230FB with just over 400.000km on it as a non-runner. I threw a new timing belt on it and it ran just fine. A day later it wouldnt start so I checked under the valve cover because the crankshaft took lots of force to turn, so I took the head of for inspection of the crankshaft and valves. The problem of the crankshaft not really turning was soon identified as valves not returning to their seat when closing and not wanting to open with easy... Read more

i recently bought a 1994 volvo 960 3.0 700 bucks that had been left in a field for around 5 years and immediately replaced the timing belt and wp as you do with an early whiteblock, but i notice the timing gears seem to be axially misaligned where the passenger side sits ahead of the belt and the driver side allmost flush. Any clue why and what should i do? Also i replaced my steering rack it was fine before but it seems to keep getting air in the system after rotating a turn and a half... Read more

I bought this car a month ago. I've got a Volvo 850 already but I have always wanted an RWD and the chance popped up to own a 740 wagon in an extremely cool color (in my opinion!) Herein follows a photo dump and walkthrough of the car. Most obvious issue Fortunately this rubber list can be bought new! Skandix sells it and even has instructions... Read more

Picked up this 1982 244 few years ago for a cheap. I saw it parked in Chico, left a note and got a call the next day, not really wanting another car. Woman said it had a charging issue, new alternator and battery just replaced. She was asking $800 but I talked her down to $550, she even got is Smoged (after I told her not to) and we drove it home. There I parked it with the intention of getting to it someday. 130k automatic Volvo's B21 high MPG car repainted but someone did a pretty good... Read more
