Re: Hood Latch Stuck

How did you get the headlight out without opening the hood?

Re: 97 960 Won't start with (recent) history

Got a project that has me working ten hour days and gave it to a mechanic- fuel pump! A little more to it- looks like the fuel gauge was not registering, and the pump was running with all the trouble shooting of the other stuff. Ran dry, and killed itself. Too damn humble. This mechanic is good, and...

Re: Volvo 960 & passing state emissions inspection

Tested mine in Jersey in April- had just changed the battery, so no history. They did the tailpipe and flunked me for the gas cap. Replaced the gas cap and that was all they checked on the re-test.

State facility and free. Gotta get in line at 7:00 Saturday or kill the day.

Re: 97 Volvo 960 Alternator replacement

I did this a couple of weeks ago. (160,000 miles and pulled original alternator. Volvo just may not plan on pulling short of overhaul.) All of the preceding posts have bits of it, so read them. The power steering pump, alternator, serpentine belt tensioner and idler pulley are all mounted to the two...
