Been almost flooding in my area and I mistakenly took my splashguard off when it wasn't raining, and now i'm getting water all over my belts messing with my power steering. My splash guard is kind of messed up, and I plan on gorilla taping it. But I seem to remember someone selling...

I bought a compressor kit from ebay listed for 740 760 780 940 My logic was if it fits all those models from 85-91 it will fit my 85 244GL. I got it in the mail and quickly noticed the accumulator wasn't the right kind, but the compressor looks exactly the same, just a different color. I...

I was tooling around on ebay when i started looking at fuse blocks. Got the idea to switch out the 16 way fuseblock with an updated fuseblock that can be properly sealed, and uses the standard plastic fuses. Any ideas on what makes and models we could pull a decent fuseblock with 16 slots and...

I foudn this and curious on opinions or if this is correct with this table found here: http://www.techchoiceparts.com/refrigerant-and-oil-capacities/volvo R12 46.00 OZ. Mineral oil 10.00 OZ. according to another poster, it is recommended to only use 90% of the 134a refridgerant in a r12...

Someone mentioned about two weeks ago having switched out the old OEM style bulbs for LEDs, and swaping out a relay. So does anyone know which relay needs to be swapped for LEDs to work on the lights?

Using an OEM fourseasons compressor, switched to r134a, it had not worked in a long time. But I went through, changed all the seals, changed the evaporator, changed the drier, and I think I either: put too much oil, dye or coolant in it. It was working decent for a couple days until i put more...

I've been seeing quite a few ppl with 240s in my area and have never been to a meetup/event ever. I'm curious where this stuff is mainly posted. Is it all coordinated through CL or is it just a hugely scattered thing?

in the next 6 months I want to put much bigger wheels on my 85 244. Is this possible? I have a set of momo rims I mistakenly bought thinking they had the correct bolt pattern, I got a LOT of flack the first time I started asking about this a couple years ago, and gave up. However I still need...

They are like 6 bucks a piece on ebay, made in china, mostly plastic, don't look very stout but for 6 bucks I can't really complain. I wondering if anyone has used them for things like a remote trunk unlock or maybe hood unlock, or your experience with using them for their actual purpose and...

Hey, this isn't all that on topic but I'm looking to see if I can get quick hacking type advice. I switched out all my old o-rings, the drier/receiver/ and the expansion valve. Previously I had installed the yellow o-rings... and now I'm on the last hose needing to be switched from yellow to...

Yellow or green? Any consensus on this?

So last week I went to a store and parked kinda far away from where other people were parked like usual, cuz I love my $1200 244, and this jerk decided to park next real close and door ding my car. As if on purpose... I'm not going to say any more on that subject. XD But now I got a dent in...

Anyone know of places to get the 2" NPT end caps? I have everything except those two important parts. I checked Lowes and Home Depot. Going to try Ace hardware tomorrow. Not sure where any plumbing supplies places are yet. Do you guys usually just order these parts online?

Odd question. but I'm kinda stuck trying different things here. If you stand in front of the crank, lean over to look down at the crank, while holding a timing light and move your head 6 inches to the left or the right: The mark on the harmonic balancer stays in the same position but the...

Went looking at knock sensor prices, napa has them, but they want $124 Is this price of $125 to $150 normal? Do they put platinum or gold in these things?

I've been juggling the idea of tinting my 240, and recently I see these tint kits that are precut being sold for reasonable prices. Has anyone used them before? Any idea of how long they last?

Trying to find out how to calibrate my dwell/tachometer. The Volvo dash gauge tach is reading almost 200 RPM more than my dwell/tach, which is this one I got used from ebay: I'm getting a sort of wandering idle, error seems to be at least 100 RPMs. While under the hood I get 750 RPM at...

About a year ago I was asking what the base setting for the 007 AMM was. I couldn't get an answer. So I found I had a 007 AMM with the security cap still on it. I measured it, and it's 189 OHMS. When you are checking the AMM, you disconnect it first with your battery disconnected before that...

I saw mention of taking the turbo out of a 740 or 940, would this work for me with my 1985 244GL LH 2.2? I really want to stop depending on the 007 AMM, and do want the power of Turbo. So I'm curious, say I went to a salvage yard and picked from an unpicked late 80's 740 or 940, could I get...

This started as a joke, and turned out to be the easiest way I could do it. Tree. Tow Rope. Push down on it. Happy car.
