Re: 91 240 radio (EEE)

EEE is there all the time. I thought perhaps the radio was junk....Hmmmm I don't see any codes anywhere so I guess I'll call a Volvo dealer.....They still provide this service to old Volvos? I'll give it a shot I guess.

Thanks...

91 240 radio (EEE)

When I bought my 240 I can turn the radio on and all that happens is the letter E across the screen. Is this radio garbage or is it some kind of code? It looks too weird to try to replace so I'd rather just either use it or get a another working radio.....I'm tired of using a boom box in the back se...

Re: Timing belt double lines...

Nope. Not the plastic cover. The aluminum cover that holds the seals. To the left of the big "V" in Volvo you will see a line running from the centerline of the crankshaft. Align the keyway groove in the crankshaft with this line. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Your correct.....I found ...

Re: Timing belt double lines...

I think you need to line up the crank sprocket with that long vertical line on the front cover. The other marks look okay to me. I see. So I must install the plastic lower cover and line up the notch in the crank sprocket with the long line in the cover? O.K...I can probably manage that....I've gon...

Timing belt double lines...

Working on my 91 240 with the B230 engine. I can't seem to get the double lines to match up when I rotate the engine by hand and I look at the crank notch...When I removed the old timing belt I had such a time removing the cam and intermediate pulley bolts that I'm sure they moved a little each way....

79 244DL tire size

What tire size should I be looking for on my 1979 244DL?

I would like something that is fairly common but will handle well on the stock rims. Right now they are 185-80-14 but they are hard to find in my area.

Brown 79 240?

Was dark sparkly brown a real Volvo color on a 1979 240? Real pretty actually but I have never seen a dark brown one....I have the option of purchasing a 1979 240 sedan and was wondering if the color was original? I think it is but not sure....It also has the tanish fawn colored interior....quite sh...

P1800S rally stripe?

Would a 1968 P1800S have come from the factory with a dual white rally stripe painted on the hood drivers side edge? I can't tell from the picture I have if it goes the whole length of the car or not. The car is for sale and I was wondering if that was something someone added later or if it came fro...

Re: 85 240 fuel injectors not working

The owner says he has gone through all the fuses....The fuel pressure is what he told me....perhaps I misunderstood but he said he put a pressure gauge on it and verified fuel pressure to the rail...I dunno for sure. So your saying if the engine will fire the hall sensor is still good? Hmmm...what n...

Owner has verified the pumps work and delivering fuel to the rail at 100+ psi. Owner says it will fire and run if you spray s...
