Worked fine in driveway and on first test drive, then 2nd time went out in 95-degree heat, A/C working great, after ...

Re: 1985 240 Stumbling on acceleration
I think I discovered my problem. The pre-pump (transfer) pump in the tank was completely dead. I would have expected more symptoms than just this occasional hiccup, but I removed it and hooked up direct power and nothing. Most of the time the car was running perfectly, which is pretty amazing. I am ...

Re: 1994 Volvo 960 Flashing Arrow and Mode Selector Lights
I have almost identical problem on my '96 960 Wagon. This is going to sound weird but everytime I park on the grass or off of my gravel driveway, the next time when I come out and start it I get the flashing arrow and E-S-W lights flashing, usually when it has rained or been wet. The car drives fine ...

Re: 1985 240 Stumbling on acceleration
Having a similar problem with my 85 240 and am stumped. You'll be accelerating or just going down the road and it's like you hit a brick wall, all of a sudden nothing, just for a second, and then is fine, like a big hiccup almost. Come to think of it, doesn't usually happen once you are up to ...

1989 240 DL Sleepy Odometer
One of my latest acquistions, in great condition: Odometer wasn't working when I got it (imagine that), so I did the usual gear replacement, quick and easy, fixed it! Worked fine for a couple months. Now when I start out in the mornings it takes 2-5 miles before odometer works. After that, never ...

Re: 1997 Volvo 855 GLT Windshield Replacement recommendation
I don't know about your area but where I live windshields are cheap! I just had one put in my '97 960 Wagon last week, $150 and they came to my house and did it, no extra charge. Same thing last year on my Saab 900, $150 and they came here. Was quoted the same price or more having to go to a glass ...

1996 850 Wagon Rear Shock Replacement
Does anyone have any recommendations? The odometer is broken (imagine that) and I'm sure this wagon has well over 200K or maybe substantially more on it, so I replaced the original Volvo rear shocks with Gabriel Ultras. Every pebble, tiny little bump or pavement imperfection now jars the entire car ...

Re: 1998 S70 Dies All of a Sudden, Then Comes Back
It was the FP relay. After replacing the filter, I still got a couple little hiccups while driving. The next time I went to drive the car, it started and ran for about a minute in the driveway, then died and wouldn't restart. I immediately changed the FP relay and haven't had an issue since. Drove ...

Re: 1998 S70 Dies All of a Sudden, Then Comes Back
Well I just replaced the filter, and OMG, I don't think it's ever been changed, 167K. The reason I say that is the ends of the hoses where they connect to the filter where still wrapped with what looked like masking tape sprayed over black on the outside. The tape had never been disturbed, torn or ...

Re: 1998 S70 Dies All of a Sudden, Then Comes Back
Thanks. I'll keep you posted. I took the relay out and took the cover off. Didn't see any cracks or anything obvious; in fact, it looked spotless, but I'll probably replace it just to be sure. Gonna change the fuel filter too. It's usually the first thing I do when I buy a car used, but it looks ...
