So today I pulled the fuse panel out to add a wire, and the newest chapter of previous owner ****ery unveiled itself. Found 2 wires, a green/red and a black cut after 10 cm. Both are oem installed wires judging from the plastic sleeve. Looking from the drivers point of view: Green/red is on an...

The first is off A2, the second off B5, speed signal issues. It throws them both on a cluster that stops at 60 miles, and one that works apparently flawlessly. It can be erased but returns as soon as the car moves. They are not letting me engage cruise control. Any idea if a working speedo...

I just finished painfully installing cruise control with 850 bits and stuff off ebay today, and it doesn't want to work (vacuum's are fine, didn't test pump but I guess this is more likely the problem). 1992 960 2.0 16v - Cluster 1 (original one) = Stops at 90km/h. Probably blown capacitors? -...

I know that headlight switch backlights aren't exactly the daily concern of most turbobrickers, but I'm slowly plowing through the numerous problems of my newly acquired 960 first gen and trying to iron them all out. You know, trying to get it all working before I stop caring again. After...

So I'm trying to put together the parts for cruise control on my 1992 960 B204FT, which I absolutely need for long drives do to a complaining knee (and a lot of long drives). I already had a 850 complete kit, so I'm trying to recycle. 1. Installed the stalk, matched prewiring connector, all...

I have two new issues I discovered (just got the car), and I'd like input before I go chasing wires. 1992 960 T16. 1. The power seat will move just smooth and fine in all directions, except backwards. There it goes back 1cm and stops. You can get it all the way by doing fast repeated foreplay...

So I acquired a 70k miles 1992 2.0 16v turbo 960 on Friday, and I'm already in pain. But this time the source of the pain isn't Swedish, it's south Italian and their tendency to not insert their hands in their rectum and leave them there. One of the problems is that the car has a 1992 alarm...

So I'm in the market for a 960 2.0 16v turbo from 92-93, and found a couple from 800$ to 2200$ (100k miles mint condition). An ex Volvo mechanic keeps telling me these engines are absolute trash, but I always forget to ask for details. Something about the head. Is this a serious concern or did...

So after throwing close to 5000 euro into my 245 trying to do things right and still ending up with an unreliable **** full of stupid noises (don't ask me how I managed, it hurts enough already), I am pulling the trigger and selling it off as a project. No you can't have it, look at my location...

So I'm pondering adding an e-fan to my b230ft 245. It's mostly to quiet the beast down a smidge, and perhaps gain some fuel economy since it will be doing a 1400 mile round trip monthly trip soon (it's already on propane injection, but I'm poor). All on Swiss and German highways (little traffic...

So I have a 6cyl out of a 960 with it's M90 tranny. It's in my friends car shop in a corner, and it needs to leave very soon. The reason I have this "wonderful" object, is that one day I'd like to either toss it into my 245, or get s rekt 242 elsewhere in Europe and build a proper clean built...

So I have oil light coming on under 1500 rpm, and oil pressure gauge reads almost 0, and max 1.5 at 6k rpm with turbo pushing like ballz. Engine is a '94 B230FT out of a 940 in a 240. Context: I had an intense two weeks on the car. Got the A/C working, put braided brake lines (I still had very...

Good day gentlemen, I will be tackling my oilpan this weekend or next week to install a freshly painted one with an oil temp sensor bung welded to it. I am not looking forward to it and am trying to make it easier for myself, therefore I'm going to trim the baffle as I've seen in other posts...

The only thing working properly in my 240 is the radio at the moment, I am very close to burning it down, so please give me love. I'll open one thread at the time. The a/c never worked since I bought the car. I: 1. Put the r134 compressor that came with the b230ft engine I got. 2. Got a new...

Good people of tb, I have an urgent info request. I bought a Simons 2.5" exhaust for my 245, which currently has a B230FT, but the exhaust is sold for B23T cars. I was planning to go get two bungs welded on it tomorrow, one for the narrowband, and one for the wideband (and plug it for now). Now...

So a friend of mine would like to install cruise control on his K-jet 245, but we have some questions. Is the signal from the tach the same? Would it/should it work fine? I wired a year ago a 90-93 system in my (non prewired) 91, and it was pretty straighforward, and from what I remember the...

So I just finished swapping struts and mounts with Kaplhenke's, and somethings crunchy on the passenger side (it's a spring rubbing). I didn't have any instructions so I followed the pic in another post, and installed them with BNE facing the engine, using the outmost countersunk hole, and the...

After three days of sweating like a swine in the Italian sun, I decided to tackle my A/C issue. I had already played this game last year, I: - Flushed the system from compressor hose, to compressor hose, and then from compressor hose to accumulator fitting (after removing the old accumulator). -...

So, after stealing the seats from an XC70, this time I'm stealing HVAC from 940's. Reasons for this are: - Getting rid of archaic looking HVAC controls. - Implement auto climate so I don't have to fiddle with it constantly, ending up playing with the window instead. - Permanently fixing the...

Hey everyone, so now that I sorted other stuff I want to tackle suspension. I have searched, and this appears to be a very very controversial topic, so I'd just like to know what you guys would personally do in my place (as opposed to sparking a battle). I have front monroe struts that probably...
