I would consider swapping your old engine for a used one because of the price. For around $200 you can pull the engine yourself, and if it doesn't work you could take it back for store credit and get another one. Can't beat the price. There are plenty of '95 850s to chose from. http://www.picknpull....

I have had a good experience with an older (1987) 740 at Dallas Elect Auto in Richardson TX. http://dallaselectautocenter.com/ But, I would suggest trying to find the problem yourself first because most mechanics are very expensive. 93Regina has suggested what seems to be the most common problem, wo...

If you keep the accelerator pedal depressed, does the car run fine? If so, the problem might be related to the idle air control valve near the throttle body on the intake manifold. Also try looking at this: http://volvoforums.com/forum/volvo-240-740-940-12/idle-air-control-valve-symptoms-24535/ Mayb...

Possibly similar to the 16 valve 940. http://www.2carpros.com/diagrams/volvo/940/1995 Looks like 3 accessory belts. Volvo club UK says there are only two belts.https://www.volvoclub.org.uk/faq/B234Ftimingbelts.htm See section A 3, gaining access to timing belts. Either way, your mechanic is right: y...

In my 740, the flasher problems went away when I replaced the bulbs. Look for worn out contacts, or move bulbs from one side to another before replacing controls in the cabin.

Do you see any part numbers on the hubs, or any brand markings? Maybe it has markings on the hubs or calipers that would tell us what kind of car it came off of. Then you could buy rotors for that car.

Lesjofors part numbers 45 958 00 to 45 958 44 are for volvos, but their catalog doesn't show which model. Based on the eBay information, I think these will fit your 240 just fine.

I finally bought and installed a used overdrive, and overdrive now works using the same old solenoid. Unfortunately, the overdrive stops working after the first 10 miles of use. I guess it is worn out too.

http://www.volvotips.com/service-manual/volvo-960/Volvo-960-S90-V90-maintenance-information-service-repair-manual.html Looks like s90's have two or three relay/fuse boxes, one under the hood and the others in the center and driverside door portion of the dash. The headlight relay appears to be seper...

I took the overdrive apart a second time and tried to run the pump by hand with trans fluid in the pan on the overdrive. The fluid does not build up enough pressure to go out the release valve. instead it leaks out the top of the pump cylinder. Are there any seals in the pump, or do i need to have a...
