Howdy! What is the difference between a 1990 hood vs. a 1991-1992 hood on the 740? My 91 740 got damaged in a hail storm and there is a 1990 parts car for sale on CL. I'm wondering if I can just swap the parts over. Thanks!

Gurus, My car died on the expressway today in stop and go traffic. Based on how it died, I suspected an ignition problem. I have 0 volts between terminals 1 and 15 on the coil. Resistances are within limits. I get 12V at terminals 1 and 4 on powerstage connector with ignition on, and 1.7...

Hello TBricks! I have an interesting issue I'm sorting through and would like some input on where to go next. Car is in sig. Problem: The engine requires lots of cranking in order to start when warm, or when it's warm outside but the engine is cold. The engine will start almost instantly in...

I ordered some white body EV6 injectors for my 740. Without realizing it, one of them is missing the small piece shown in the photos. Everything is running great so far (120 miles) but is there a risk associated with running an injector like this? My thinking is that since the o-ring is visible...

Hello TB! The hood on my 240 will close and lock but there is still maybe about 1/8th of an inch of play in it. Meaning, I can push the hood down a little bit because it has some play. I can see it moving up and down while I'm driving. Do I adjust the "hook" at the front or the hinges at the...

Howdy Y'all! I want some TB input on what size winter tire I should get for my 740. I'm running 15x7 wheels and currently have 205/60 all seasons on them. Should I do 205/60, 195/65, or 205/65? Looking at the (studded) Cooper Weather Master. Thoughts?

Good day T-Bricks! My 1990 240's speedo misbehaves. It didn't work when I purchased the car. I checked and cleaned the wiring at the diff. No change. I tightened/pinched the connections at the back of the speedo and that made it work most of the time. In the morning, it can take 20-30 minutes...

These are from last summer. By Chris Urban. :cheers:

I've been searching the forum on this and found different answers. I guess I'm just curious as to where to start looking. Car is a 1990 240 M47 with 300k+ miles. Car makes a siren like sound on decel that changes in pitch with vehicle speed (higher faster, lower slower). It's most noticeable...

Greetings Volvo wizards and warriors! My 91 740 has developed an interesting problem. When I start the car for the first time in the morning, or if it has cooled down between start ups, the engine will run rich for a little while then "clears up" and runs fine. At first I thought it was the...

So, I recently did the cambermod on my car and got it aligned today. The results: L Camber: -1.0 deg Caster: 5.7 deg Toe: 0.09 inches R Camber: -1.5 deg Caster: 5.3 deg Toe: 0.07 inches My question is, how far forward would I need to move the right side in order to match...

Howdy! I have a code 2-3-2 that keeps popping up on my diagnostic box. According to Brickboard, 232 means a lean or rich condition and lists the O2 sensor as the cause. I replaced the O2 sensor and the code came back. There are no vacuum leaks as far as I can tell. The car ides nicely at about...

Howdy all! System pressure at idle is supposed to be 25psi correct? Well, my AC doesn't cool at all at that pressure. If I fill it up to 45-50, it cools well and cycles more often. Any ideas? Should I just take in to a shop? I believe the car came with r134 from the factory. Thanks - Neil

Car is a 1991 740T sedan. Problem: Headlights come on when the headlight switch is in the parking position (middle). Head lights do not turn on at headlight "on" position, turn off when set to "off". Hazards do not work. When hazard button is pushed in, turn signals do not work. Where should I...

Who has installed wagon overload coils on a sedan? What will happen!? :run: I recently bought a 91 744T. I have a set of IPD's heavy duty springs sitting in my apartment (front springs), and rear overload coils on my wagon. The wagon has HD's, I'm getting rid it but want to transfer parts over...

Hello people of TB! I have a ticking/clanking noise coming from the motor only when it is warm and only at idle, at least the only time it is noticeable is at idle. The tick corresponds with engine speed. The noise started after I installed an IPD cam (15 lbs on the nuts). I had the valves...

Howdy all, I know this type of question comes up a lot on here and I've searched but I haven't quite figured it out. I'm thinking of picking up a set of Borbet Type E wheels, these are the specs: 16x7.5 ET 35 114.3 x 5 I'd like to run 225/50/16 tires on them, no idea what brand yet. These...

Howdy! I know this has come up before but I'm having little luck finding what I need. I have the opportunity to buy a turbo plus kit for pretty cheap. I think it would be a good option for me because I like the idea of running more boost SAFELY at WOT, which from what I understand, is the only...

I am using using the stock piping and it works great except for that weird bend at the TB. Since that hose is too long I had to cut it some, but the section where it bends doesn't maintain a round shape. It's flatter and I'm wondering if this is causing a restriction. What have you guys used in...
