Re: 940 poor performance
I'm 99% sure it did not overheat, not that I saw. No smoke from the engine, no meter in the red, etc.

Re: 940 poor performance
Update: finally, while still in France, our car got towed away because it would not start anymore. First, the repairshop replaced the ignition module. Then, they said that the head gasket probably was broken because there was no compression. My insurance company then sent the car back to the Netherl...

940 poor performance
While on holiday in France, my car started performing poorly. I have to pull my caravan/mobile home back home in two weeks, and would really like to have it running better again. It's a 940 2.3 low turbo, '98, petrol and lpg. Problems: bad acceleration, poor driving uphill (have to keep very high rp...

Re: pic of ECT connector needed urgently
I did it! Turned out I had to press a metal clamp from below. Easy if you know what to do.
I'll open a new topic regarding my findings. Thanks for the cooperation!

Re: pic of ECT connector needed urgently
Thanks for the images. It certainly helps altough I cannot easily figure out how I should disconnect it. If I was more certain that it is the ECT, I'd simply cut the cable.
It's a 2.3 liter engine btw. Today I'll try to get a clearer view by using a mirror or maybe my smartphone camera.

pic of ECT connector needed urgently
I am on holiday in France with my my mobile home and 940 (lpt, 1998, petrol and lpg). My car starts bad or not at all and the car has almost no power, especially in lower rpm. French garage could not find anything. I suspect that my ECT is failing, especially because of the too rich fuel mix and eve...

Re: Radio ct 505 with diy aux for mp3 player?
Thanks for your reply. I don't get it, however. Such a bluetooth kit will still need access to the amplifier of the radio, to use the car's speakers, right? How is this possible without any aux?

Radio ct 505 with diy aux for mp3 player?
Hi all, On this forum, I read about soldering an aux cable on the circuit board of a car radio. I would like to do this with my volvo 940 CT 505, because I want to play music from my android telephone. Does anybody have experience with this? From what I understand (but mmaybe I am mistaken), connect...

Re: 940 buying advice: turbo or nonturbo
Last week I bought a Volvo 940 2.3 Nordic (low turbo) running on LPG. Its mileage is 450.000 km, so I hope to use it for at least some 550.000 more. The engine was thoroughly checked by the seller, and he repaired the airco and cruise control. And he runs great, I already drove 1200 km with it witho...
