Category: Volvo with rear wheel drive Forum

Hello, we are recently proud owners of a V90 from 1997. The vehicle is actually great in shot, only a few small things should be directed. Since we are not a gifted screwdriver, we have turned to the next Volvo representative. To our great surprise they told us that the service for “so old vehicles(!)” can only be made limited, and you could not order spare parts for it. With the hint to get the parts at SKANDIX, we were sent away again. Therefore my question in the round: Where are we welcome with our V90 (960) for maintenance? I look forward to all tips concerning the Rhine-Main area, or everything around 80km from Offenbach. Best regards and already thanks for your inputs!

Good day together, I wanted to get all-year tires to avoid several tire sets and save a bit of money. That’s why I read all-year tire tests, then I found a few good tires. Now to my problem all the tires that did well were not in my tire size (185/70/14), which is the closest answer is 185/65/14. But I can’t drive them according to the internet: https://reifen-groessen.de/…/#trim-ii-1983-1993-eudm-23i-111 Now I wonder why this is so, the two sizes have only a minimal difference. Thank you very much.

Dear VOLVO friends, although I’ve been falling for the 940 for a long time, I’m new here in the forum and hope for your advice. — I bought a very well-kept combination, built in 1996 again with 135 hp in the turbo version with currently 308,000 I had a new Prins gas system installed, which also works without any problems. Unfortunately, I have the following problems. After about two to three hours of highway with an average 130/140, the control light started to light up on the left which indicates a problem with the Lambda probe ? or ? Then a noticeable power drop especially on the mountain – it fell back to 100, on a straight track I was able to speed it up again but at 140 was over and it didn’t accelerate any more – I drive the car with a maximum 130 and 150 in the top – in the gas operation the performance loss is a little more, with gasoline he drives minimally better. I replaced the fuse 1 at the gas station — there was the check again. It is also striking that as soon as he gets a little undertoury – he jerks and has a drop. Has someone an idea of you and can help me for your answers?

Hello dear Motortalkler, after my 850 got the death kick in the form of a VW bus, I bought a V 40. But I’m not happy with it, I didn’t think I needed the place but…! Now I look after a 960 3.0 24 V. What can you say about this car, the automatic is ok for the duration. The equipment is excellent with almost all offered. I have one in mind with 180000km, that should not be a problem for the engine, right? My 850 2.5 20 V had last 280000km on the clock and the engine ran like a clockwork! What does the car need so, which it is not a savings miracle I know but how much is in it with adapted driving mode? Many questions and hopefully many answers. Thank you very much and greeting from hopefully soon 960s….Peter

Hi! As announced yesterday, here are 3 photos of my Volvo Amazon, which I was allowed to drive in 1986, but in the end the car was too stupid to keep. It was a special part, built by a Volvo mechanic in Frankfurt and then bought from me. The Volvo was dark blue, deeper laid, with extreme lowbed rims + wide tires, leather equipment and much more, which unfortunately I can hardly remember, except that it was a great feeling to be on the road with the Amazon …. I photographed the present photos with my digital camera of slides and accordingly the quality is also. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the actual picture with the beautiful side view of the stretched Volvo yet, but will continue to look, but first these three. Gruss, Robin

servus people, I’m currently often on the road in a Swedish 200 forum, and I’ve heard a little bit about it, as it looks like with high mileage. in sweden the people traditionally drive much more than in Germany, but so that, believes almost no man… here a pull out: – Volvo B12 (Lastbil) med 4,000,000 km, – Volvo Tradare med 970.000 km, – 740 Limo med 1.700,000 km (engine exchanged at 1.300.000 km), – 244 GLT 1984 med 1.300.000 km, – 745 Taxi med 1.200,000 km, – 740 Limo med 1.200,000 km, (engine exchanged at 900,000 km), – 745 (blocket) med 1.090.000 km, – 245 DL 1977 med 1,000,000 km, – 740 (Vi Bilägare) med 1,000,000 km, – 740 Taxi med 1,000,000 km, – P1800 med 1,000,000 km, – 945 med 1,000,000 km?

Dear Volvo connoisseurs! I was offered a leather equipment of a 960er. Have myself a 940er year 1997. A station wagon. Does the seating set from the 960er fit in here? Thank you, happy Easter! Testchecker

Hello to all the friends of the old Swedes! …I have discovered a very well preserved Volvo 240, clawed and prepared … but I don’t want to add Volvo wheels but rather something more unusual if possible. Who can help me with the biggest possible rims as wide as possible and the matching rubbers….. I don’t want to have to change anything at the original Blech. I found rims with tyres: 7×16 ET20 / 205/55-16 W91 …is that the maximum dimension, or is it possible to even bigger and what do I have to do to consider other rim manufacturers – Distance Discs? ..etc please Help! Your Lexyluke

Monday of this week my daughter had an accident… doesn’t look so bad. No one was seriously injured. After a week of research I can only say, if the airbags open that for such an old moose is the scrapping sentence.

Hello together, on the search for a small transporter or large station wagon I found then the 740 without tuv. (pictures in annex) 82 kw the B200F should be year 91. Engine sounds good and drives also clean has 341 ts run and I am the 5th owner. For the HU the brakes have to be made as well as the windshield (stone strike in the viewing area). Now it starts with the questions. I am not clumsy and have also changed brakes several times (Audi and VW) but at Volvo still Never, as I have already read, does the lock number not really help as far as the brakes are concerned because there should probably be different variants. What do I have to pay attention to when I order brakes ? Then I had read because you should not push back the brake pistons (I think that means the brake pressure cylinders (VW)) but with a special tool. Do you need this ? Many greetings Stefan
