Re: 1993 940 Need brighter headlights

I have a 1994 940 Turbo and had a problem with the headlights as well - they weren't bright any longer. In my case the lenses were dull and cloudy, but not yellow. I had some work done on the front car body and while they were in there I had them replace both headlights with new ones from a popular ...

Re: 1988 Volvo 244 Starter Grinding in the Morning

If you need a replacement starter, and it sounds like you do, contact the companies at the top of this page. Personally I called 888-757-8686 to reach Southern Volvo. I bought a replacement starter from them five months ago and haven't had any more problems.

Re: 940 1994: Parking Brake Adjustment

Yes, I found the same things when I adjusted my e-brake. Still, a quick and easy fix to a long-term annoyance.

Re: Southern VoVo is an MVS Sponsor!

I bought a replacement starter for my 1994 940 Turbo Wagon (B230FT) and am very happy with the transaction. I don't know how they did it but I called one morning and bought the part over the phone, and at noon the next day the package showed up at my door! Their price for the starter and for shippin...

Re: 940 buying advice: turbo or nonturbo

I would recommend a turbo 940, but that is only based on my personal experience. My 1994 940 Turbo Wagon just turned over to 273,000 miles today and is on the original engine, turbo, and transmission. Other than regular routine maintenance, the car has mostly been problem-free. If Volvo were to begi...

Re: 1994 940 dies

Hi. I can't address the radiator/fan issues, but on my 1994 940 I had a problem where the engine would die randomly. It turned out to be the speed sensor (located down the rear of the engine at the firewall). The wires between the sensor head and the connector had deteriorated insulation and were oc...

Re: 940 headlight housing replacement

Thank you everyone very much! To summarize, I take off the side marker lights to get to the outside headlight assembly bolts, then remove the grill to get to the inside headlight assembly bolts. I will check it out tomorrow during the daylight.

You guys are great!

Re: 940 headlight housing replacement

OK thank you, that makes sense, I can follow that, as I have replaced the side marker lights before. That would seem to make available the outside bolts for the headlight frame/unit/assembly. Are there bolts on the grill side, and if so how do I get to those?

Thanks in advance.

940 headlight housing replacement

Hi, I have a 1994 940 turbo wagon with the base-style headlights (no integrated fog lamps). My headlights are very opaque and I would like to change them for new units. I know that I can get the new headlight units from the dealer ($$) of from any number of third-party suppliers ($). I don't however...

Re: 940 GLE stalling randomly, starts up again - desperate p

On my 1994 940 Turbo Wagon with similar symptoms the problem was with the fuel relay, located behind the ash tray. It cost around $50 for a new one from the dealer and solved the problem. Maybe try one from a junkyard before paying for the new dealer part?
