Re: 1991 240 spraying gas leak underneath

Problem solved. It's pouring out of the fuel pump or filter that is located below the rear of the drivers seat. Looks like the pump came loose of the carriage it sits in. Probably got jarred around and loosened a hose somewhere.

1991 240 spraying gas leak underneath

My 91' 240 isn't a daily driver. I've been smelling gas for the last couple of weeks so decided to pull it in the garage. When I did I noticed a gas trail, so I looked underneath and the thing was literally spraying gas out from right around the rear passenger seat location and it was hosing down th...

Re: battery dead in morning

one other note, when I have the battery charger on, there is a loud humming noise coming from around the area of the rear drivers side passenger door and when I pull up on the lock the humming changes. I thought these had vacuum ran door locks. The central locking system doesn't work either. EDIT: I...

battery dead in morning

I just picked up a 91' Volvo 240 with 280K miles on it. I'm somewhat familiar with Volvos as I've owned a few in the past. So I drive it from the dealer and let it sit for 6 hours upon purchase. I go to start it and nothing. The battery is new so I'm chalking this up to a slow drain, starter solenoi...

Re: high speed rear end of car bumps around

thanks JRL, Just thought I'd post over here to expand on the possibilities. BTW, apparently it wasn't the heater switch for the seat as it's not getting warm (remember I bought one from you?). I'm taking it in for diagnosis on Tuesday. After they figure out what is wrong I'm gonna have them drop the...

high speed rear end of car bumps around

I've got a 99 v70XC 170K miles and have a jarring/bump going on at high speeds. It's almost like I've hit a bump in the road plus the rear end hops somewhat. It's nothing too violent just feels like a little left to right or right to left action going on. I can't hear any noises with the windows up ...
