93 940 wagon - floor and firewall heat soak

From what I can tell my exhaust is all stock - I was re-fixing my AC leak (caused by sweat and fixed by putting a little gutter and a tube) BUT i notice when i remove my carpet on the passenger side the upper and lower part of the trans hump and part of the floor are freaking hot. I guess 150-170 de...

Re: 1999 V70R AWD Horrid Rear Suspension/Drivetrain Clunk

Ill jump in as my issue is very similar but there is no loud clunk. 99xc 70 - 120k - all drive train new - everything. here is a high pitched whine while underway - its starts at 10 mph and stays constant. It stops completely at 10 mph. Start and it comes on at 10 mph... Sitting in rear passenger se...

Re: Strong Vibration at 3000 RPM

no real issues with the car - I had the same issue with my old 164 Volvo - for the ac compressor - it had a long length of belt. It would vibrate like hell at a certain rpm - that York compressor was horrible. This is the same thing - its to long - I solved the problem on the 164 with an idler pulle...

Re: Strong Vibration at 3000 RPM

2014 xc90 Would you buy a new one?

Thinking about getting a 2014 - FWD, would you do it? I can buy a 8 year 120k extended warranty for 2200 bucks if I need to. Are these reliable? Test drive was ok - felt heavy and the wife liked it better than the XC60. Will take her to see the new V60 but she will say it is to small. Or, should I j...

Re: Strong Vibration at 3000 RPM

RESOLVED. Re: 1993 940 Hesitation on throttle

Turned out to be the Coil - No error codes - MORAL - symptoms like mine should be approached from the upstream side. Start with the coil first then workd down to the plug wires MAP and FPR - I will say that it does idle very smooth now. - In the south, (texas) we do not get much corrosion that you y...
