Re: '06 XC90 Is there a way to clean the gas tank without dropping it?

Lots of miles should not be a problem. Lots of time sitting could be more of a problem if fuel 'varnish' is coating the inside. With the fuel pump removed, you may be able to look in the tank and see if it needs cleaned. To really clean it I think it has to be removed. I have had a couple tanks clea...

Re: What did you do to your P2 Volvo today?

350 psi for compression? Is that higher than stock? Did wonder too. Could not find the nominal compression for that D5244T (yet). Engine has either 125k or 190k miles on it. Pretty healthy compression for both mileages. 20240103_114429.jpg Haynes paper manual says 24 to 31 Bar Normal, 22 Bar minumu...

Re: Wierd Electrical Issue

Hey, we all have moments like that! Went to use my credit card this morning and couldn't remember the pin for the life of me. Still can't! Main thing is you remembered and fixed it. Glad it was an easy fix. Neil. Just write it on the back in Sharpie….. Send us a photo of both sides for verification...

Re: What did you do to your P2 Volvo today?

Saw my two girls today for the first time in 6 weeks. Val on the left and Kära on the right have been tucked up in the dark since New Year whilst I was off to warmer climates enjoying the sun while everyone back home in Scotland was freezing their bits off...

Re: I spotted a Volvo! thread

Re: P80 Valve cover bolt Helicoil , oil leak 985135

Here is some general information on tap types and tapping threads. Go slow and easy. Key point on blind holes is to get the cuttings out the top by frequently backing out the tap and cleaning. Good luck.

How to open the 240 sedan trunk if locked and no key

I think this method will work on all years of 240 Volvo sedans. It is based on the method used to open my 1987 244. If your trunk is full of luggage or boxes, you will not be able to access the lock. My trunk would not open and I did not seem to have any key that would fit the trunk. I may never hav...
