Hey everyone... I'm having one heck of a time with my 1993 960 wagon again... It is having a VERY difficult time changing gears, especially from 2nd to 3rd. (tranny is automatic, not manual) The fluid level is fine, and the fluid itself didn't look very dirty. Could the trans filter being dirty be ...

Hey everyone...thanks for all of the suggestions! I replaced the serpentine belt, and the car definitely seems to have more power. The fluid levels are all good, and I continuously monitor them. I am leaning toward the spark plug wires, their connections and/or the plugs themselves as possibly causi...

For real?? I would be thrilled if that is all that's necessary!! There is a very small ticking sound that relieves itself when I put my foot on the accelerator...should I be worried about that? What do you think would make such an accumulation of oil around that crank case? It is close to the oil fi...

Oh man...I KNOW it's not looking real good for my wagon... :cry: I bought it just a few months ago from a private owner. After I'd driven it for a while, it just didn't start one day. I figured out, after a pretty good look, that a small hose that branched from the air filter hose was disconnected. ...

SERIOUS??!! I DO FEEL SILLY!!

Thank you SO much for explaining this to me...and not giving me a hard time!!! I appreciate it A LOT!!

I may sound silly...so please forgive me in advance! I noticed that on my 1993 960 wagon, the A/C compressor pulley (wheel where the belt is) is spinning on the outside, but the inner wheel is sticking and not always spinning. Is it absolutely necessary to replace the compressor when this happens, o...

This car was accompanied by a record of service that shows the original owner religiously took it in at every scheduled tune up and maintained it, until 100,000+ miles. The car itself is immaculate, and you'd never know it was it's true age. There was one owner in-between the original one and me... ...

So here's the deal...I spoke with a mechanic that believes it is probably the timing... He told me to check the distributor cap... is it located under the battery on the 960 model as well? I'm a single mom with infant twins...and advice would be GREATLY appreciated!! Thanks so much!

Hi there... My Volvo made a loud 'poof' sound when I tried to start it...like a big gust of air being forced out of somewhere...and it wouldn't turn over. I purchased it only 2 months ago!! Prior to the no start, the a/c blowers lost almost all power with acceleration and check engine light was goin...
