*NEED* Driver's Side Door Hinge - 1988 240 -

As the title states, I need a good used driver's side door hinge. Mine is incomplete as it is missing the spring that keeps the door in the open position when the door is open. I can pay with cash, check, money order, or PayPal.

Thanks,
Brian

Okay, after the full tune-up, my NOx levels are:

15mph - 539, max is 791
25mph - 302, max is 730

PASS!!!

All it needed was a tune-up. It runs great and I couldn't be happier. Thanks for all of your help everyone.

When was the last time you had the car checked out or tuned by a mechanic? It very well could need just a tune-up. I too just purchased my 240 and it idle'd rough when it first started up and the accelleration didn't feel quite right. I'm currently in the process of having a standard tuning job done...

Thank you so much for all of your help. I will for sure take it in for a full tune-up and make sure it's running hot when I take it in for smog. I'll let you know how it goes. Hopefully this will help people with the same problem in the future.

Thanks again,
Brian

Chris, I very much appreciate your help. The 240 was taken to my local Smog Pros here in South Pasadena. Here's what the tests say: "Visual Inspection.. (Pass) Functional Check.. (Pass) Emissions Test.. (Fail)" So it looks like the 02 sensor passed and the wiring to sensors and all the oth...

'88 240 DL Won't Pass SMOG

Hey, I'm new here and this is my first Volvo. I recently bought a 1988 240 DL. The car is in showroom condition and has only 76k miles on it, but it wont pass smog. The person I bought it from forgot to get it checked, b/c after all it is the seller's responsibility. Long story short, I took it upon...
