Yesterday my windows were a little flaky and then the driver's side wouldn't roll up. Passenger was working with the switch in the passenger door but now not at all. Fuses are good, swapped a few around with no change. Not getting power to the window motor with the switch in either position...

1981 262C with an '89 B230FT. The car died at 70 mph on the freeway the other day. Fuse #12 was blown. I replaced the fuse, tried to start the car and it blew again immediately. I had this exact same problem some time ago and I thought it was sorted out. The manual says fuse #12 is for back...

I bought this turbo several months ago from someone on Turbobricks and just got it installed on my car back a few days ago. Yesterday I noticed it was smoking from the exhaust badly when you gave it some gas. I took this pics of the turbo and it looks to me like the nut is gone and the...

My passenger foot area is totally soaked. Today I took the seat out and pulled back the carpet. All of the drains along the seam below the door are clear. If I pour water in the cowl vent it runs out of those drains quickly. I also tried pouring water along the bottom of the windshield and I...

My car died and now blows the number 12 fuse and won't stay running.

My car leaks from the windshield and rear window. The guy I'm talking to about fixing it says according to his computer the windshield is standard 240 and can be replaced with the newer style (667 I think he said) windshield. Anyone know for sure if this is correct or not? My glass is fine...

The car is a 1981 262C with the stock radio/cassette and speakers in the front doors only. I need a CD player that is Ipod compatible and has Bluetooth that will work with my Iphone 3GS. I had a 90's Sony radio/cassette in there so I'm pretty sure I still have some kind of mounting plate that...

Here's my old thread to see what it used to look like: http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=165558&page=2 I just got the car back a couple of days ago after some extensive work at RSI. Painted Virgos w/new Falken tires, Bilstein HDs, IPD 25mm anti-sway bars, IPD lowering springs...

1981 262C that is stock right now. I'm working on getting some Virgos and everything I've read says 205/60/15 or 205/55/15. Soon I would like to get Bilstein HD shocks/struts, IPD springs and sway bars. Eventually I would like to have about a 200 hp turbo 4 and a manual transmission. The car...

Know anything about this car or Volvo's Only? I just read the reviews on Citysearch and they are not good. I drove the car and it runs and drives well. Several little things are wrong like a burnt out headlight and flakey window switches. After I drove it and it was sitting for a minute...

The car is an '81 262C with a B28F and BW55. I have a bad transmission fluid leak. Like 1/2 to 1 quart a week or so. I had a mechanic that was doing some work for me but I think he has flaked since he hasn't returned my calls in a week. He replaced the transmission rear seal but I'm not sure...

I've got a bone stock '81 262C with a B28F V6. Someday it will probably get a 4-cylinder turbo but I was thinking of upgrading some suspension stuff soon. What I was wondering is since it is a V6 are the springs or anything else different than a 240? Any reason not to get Bilstein HD...

I've got an '81 262C with a B28F V6 and all the vacuum lines and small hoses are hard and break if you mess with them too much. I was trying to fix the cruise control tonight and noticed that the hoses that go to the oil filler cap are cracked/broken and some vacuum lines were off. I broke a...

best junkyards in Portland, OR? I'm looking for some parts for my '81 262C. Beige interior pieces that are common to other 200 series, cruise control parts, turn signal lenses and some other stuff. Where is my best bet? I was at the Vancouver U-Pull-It the other day and they have a 200...

I've got an '81 262C and I'm assuming this switch is standard Volvo of the era. The interior light that come on when the door is open weren't working at all but I fixed it so the work when the passenger door is open. The driver's side switch is different and causing me trouble. There are two...

The owner's manual says Bosch HR6 DS. Should I go with those or something else? Thanks, y-bot

water in the engine/NEW PROBLEM 4/5/09 I've got an '81 262C with a B28F engine and today I sprayed some foaming engine degreaser on the engine, started the car and hosed it off at the car wash. It started running rough and then died. I let it sit for a few minutes and then I was able to drive...

I have a semi-retarded customer at my work who keeps begging me to with him and his slightly higher functioning friend on Saturday. Anyone else going? y-bot

new Volvo Owner/1981 262C (now w/pics!) Howdy! My grandmother and great aunt just gave me the 1981 Volvo Bertone Coupe (262C) that my grandmother bought new. It's got 151,000 miles on it and has probably never left Oregon. It needs a heater core and the front driver's seat is pretty...
