I have a 940 with the B230FD... I've gotten the 531 head and a H cam. Do I need a new ecu for this? Does anyone have any experience from changing the FD ecu for FB ecu for example?

Ps. Not getting a turbo

I have a 98 Volvo s90, I really like the car just she leaks oil and needs some work done to keep her rolling right, I just hit 127000 miles and wondering if I should put the money into her to keep her going, or cut my losses while I’m ahead. Any advice will be appreciated thank you.

I am working on Volvo 940 and front brakes drag so much I can't move them when wheels are up. I have almost replaced every part with new parts except two that might be help (idk anymore). I test drive the car and lift front wheel up and it is stuck but when I let it sit for like 5-10min they spin okay (not as freely as rear wheels but okay) and when I press brake pedal couple times it is stuck again so much I can't move the wheel. Does anybody have or had this problem? Or does anybody idea what can be the problem?

Trying to get ahead of this aging windshield and have parts ready to go when she finally gives out. Anyone have any recommendations on gaskets? As you can see here big chunk missing. Luckily no leaks but it’s crumbling away. Also do you think I’ll need to get new trim or should I be able to reuse? Thanks for the help!

Picked up a beautiful 1993 960 wagon a few weeks back. Car runs & drives perfect. Well, did. I've put a few hundred miles on the car just fine. Drove it to my shop yesterday just fine. Went to leave a few hours later for lunch & the car wouldn't start. Almost seemed like maybe battery but all lights worked fine. Tried jump starting it, no dice. Tested battery, battery is great with car off. The car will not crank nor start. I've checked all fuses & relays. I've checked brake lights. Tried jiggling EVERYTHING. Hammered on the starter. Jumped the starter. Moved the car back & forth. Unhooked battery. Jiggled ignition. Took key out, put key in. Locked doors, unlocked doors. The car from what I can find doesn't have an alarm. Just one key. I'm getting power just fine. I also CANNOT move the gear lever with key on. I'm not getting a "click" when you press the brake that would engage the gear like a normal car. I can move the shifter by selecting the "gear override" button. But cannot move the shifter. Car also wont start in neutral. Almost seems like it has something to do with the shifter or maybe ignition barrel?? I've jiggled some wires underneath the column. Can't see anything out of the ordinary. Any ideas??

The junkyard by my house got a 960 in with a decent interior!

Debating if I should return later to grab the 3rd row it had too. And the car phone! Guy got all the options.

Okay so I own a Volvo 940 with a b230fk. For a few days the engine has just stopped and when I just give it some throttle it starts again. Today it didn’t fire up again so I towed it home

does anyone know what seats match up with the bolt pattern on a 97 969 wagon? i have an old 02 v70 i loved the seats in but i cant find anything online that says if they’ll match up or not.

960 seats just beat up and pretty uncomfortable because of age.

ft the wagon herself just finished replacing all of the front end suspension and rear shocks.

Hello everyone.

I just found out about this subreddit, this my 1985 Volvo 340GL, it’s my first car that I own myself. It’s a 1.7l 4 cilinder engine with a 5 speed manual gearbox. I got this car for free from the dad of a colleague of mine, the car did run but the clutch was out. After sitting for 3,5 years when it was done it fired right up, drives like a cloud and hasn’t left me with any trouble!

Thanks for having me here!

I have coolant leaking into the driver’s side of my 740. I’m guessing my heater core is damaged and have read that my heater control valve might be damaged. Anybody experienced this?

Hello everyone, I'm struggling with a dilemma here. I have a 1989 740 with a B204E engine, the 2.0 16v NA. When the car is first started, it runs perfectly with what feels like normal, linear power through the rev range. After less than a minute, it starts having power dips above half throttle, and if I pump the throttle I can usually get it to run better until I release it again and does the same thing on the next acceleration. Now, it can't be an ignition problem since the car also has and LPG system and runs perfectly fine on that. When I first got the car, it barley ran on gas as the tank pump was dead, and the main pump was very whiny, I don't know for how long it had been that way but I replaced the in tank pump and the noise stopped, but it still doesn't run good as I wrote above. Currently I have some injection system cleaner running through and it doesn't seem to be doing much besides kind of fixing the fuel level sender lol. Could the main pump be damaged and not providing enough pressure/flow? Or maybe did I get the wrong tank pump? I got it from a parts store and they pulled up my exact model down to the trim level and engine... Please help me out here if you have any suspicions. Thank you guys.

Does anyone have any ideas or experiences fixing broken door panel clips?

Has anyone here put a b230a carburetor on a b230k? I have got the intake manifold and the pierburg carb + a new throttlewire, is there anything in missing wich is required? There is also 2 grounds that goes on the old carb and some more vacuum stuff then the pierburg has, what can i block off/remove and what do i need and where does it go? Putting some pictures in this post too, thank you in advance

Hey everyone,

I’m considering upgrading to 17” wheels on my Volvo 740, and I’m curious if anyone here is running them. What specs are you using (width, offset, tire size)? Any fitment issues or things to watch out for?

Would love to see some pics too! Thanks.

Hey all! Second post about this ‘93 940. I replaced the fuel pump, IAT sensor, and now a vacuum line. I’m getting pretty confused. In the video you’ll see it really wants to start up. Once it does start it runs for about 5 seconds and hard shuts off (no sputtering). Wondering if anyone has new ideas as to what this issue could be, I really wanna get rolling again.

PS- Tested the RSR that is not the issue. It also has the correct fuel pressure coming to the rails.

Hello everyone I have a 740 with a pierburb 2B5 carb. Recently I had some struggles with it that led me to do a complete check up of the carb. I found out that my hot start valve was missing a hose connection. As shown on the drawing, the left hose is nowhere to be found and I have no idea where it should go to. Also my valve is not same as the one depicted, and it messes up my brain a bit 😅
