Any experience with the reliability of replacement blower motors would be appreciated. FCP says the Mahl is the same as the OEM. It's cheap, but I don't want to buy the wrong one and do this job in another year or two.

The 2015.5 car I bought for my wife has a sunroof that won't go back. It will tilt up and down with no problems. The shade works as it should. I have removed the fuses for the roof to "reset" it, no change. Are there microswitches or something that either fail or get out of adjustment and...

I'm looking for a new project. I want to build a 2 door 245, maybe even chop it a little, will probably end up with a turbo LS motor. Had it in my head for a while and keeps coming back. I know this is the project area, not quite a project yet, but thought I'd post here as well as in...

Wondering how to support the motor without the special Volvo tool, when dropping the K member out so I can get the pan off a 240. I can easily make a bridge out of 4x4, resting on the fenders, but not sure if that would bend them or not. The strut towers are pretty far back so won't be able to...

I've seen the thread out there to drill the out side of the flat flywheel for the CPS pickup. I brought my flywheel to the guys that do my automotive machining, and they sent me to a machine shop next door because they're busy, and just don't have the time to play around. The guy next door...

CA girl comes east, and it goes bad, so very bad ....saving an 83 GLT I bought a 83 242 Turbo, manual trans, a couple of weeks ago now. The car was reported to be a nice original California car. Supposed to have a bad rod, not running. There were no current pictures, but there was a link to...

Looked around quick and didn't find an answer. Any help would be appreciated, NAPA works well for me.

I've searched the FAQ and other sticky's expecting to find a thread for upgrading the 2.1 240s and haven't found it. I'm really looking for that all inclusive discussion from people that have done it and get a grasp of what I'm looking at if I choose to go that way. Is there something in here...

I just bought a 83 242 with a bad motor and want to use an early 740 230FT that we already have. Can I swap the intake manifold and use the existing fuel injection, same question on the exhaust side if it's different. I know I'll have to move the distributor, flywheel, maybe accessories, etc...

We just bought a 79 242 with a very nice body that was stored in a barn on a dirt floor. The brake system, including some of the lines, are toast. We have a 940 parts car. Has anyone ever swapped the rotors and calipers from a 940 to 240? Was even wondering if I could swap the struts over and...

Is the auto trans interchangable between a NA and turbo 940 or 740? I have two turbo transmissions, one in a 88 740, one in a 91 940, can I put one of them in a NA 93 940?

Our new to us 91 945 with 234k miles has a frozen waste gate. I soaked the shaft coming out of the hot side with PB blaster and tapped the arm to get it to move some. I kept working it, but it now seems to be slipping between the shaft going into the housing and the arm. Is there any favorite...

I just looked at and bought a very nice V70 with 250k. It was a one owner until about a year ago. That owner had only volvo do service. When I saw a volvo battery I knew I was on to something. The car is no start. I checked a number of things and the timing belt was ok, had spark, so I...

don't have a socket big enough for the front wheel brg nut on my car so need to pick one up. I measured 1.410. that works out to 36mm, sound right?

I took the dash apart in my V90 to chase some odors. To do that I had to take the pass air bag out, no biggie, one connector and a strap. I did run the car while it was out to operate the vent doors. Now I have an SRS light where I did not have one before. I left the battery disconnected for a...

Where should I start looking for a water leak into the cabin that shows up in the outside corner of the driver's foot well. All the firewall penetrations are intact. Does the sun roof drain if clogged do that? It's hard to check the windshield seal becuase of the trim, any ideas?

Is there a CAF and where would it be hiding? I have oily foam blowing out of the air ducts, read that it may be from the flapper doors, but the car has some stale smells from sitting, so figured I'd start cleaning out the HVAC system there.... thanks,

is there such a thing as a hub-centric 5mm or 10 mm wheel spacer? seems like everything doesnt have the "male" side. will the wheels run true w/o being hubcentric?

I want to build a brace for my V90, My conversion engine sits low, but the AC is in the way of the stock looking braces for the 740s. My question is, is the brace in tension, compression, or both at different times? I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to use for material. The GTO that...
