1995 940t wagon Running poorly the 1st few min. when cold

OK, I have previously posted about having too much oil in my crankcase after a normal oil fill. I thought it might be coolant, but someone posted it may be gasoline. I am starting to think that might be correct. Now with the temps getting down into the 40's in the am, the car runs rough for the firs...

1995 940t wagon how long do head gaskets usually last

The car has 211000 miles on it. I am losing coolant, although I have located leaks at the thermostat housing and top of water pump. Seems to be excess oil in the crank case, but not 100 percent sure of that. I filled to the top of the knotches when I changed the oil, now it seems higher. Oil smells ...

Re: 1995 940t wagon Oil help and coolant question

OK, I contacted the old owner and he used Chevron Delo antifreeze in the car. He said I can mix any kind with it, I don't believe that. Any advise as to what type I can mix with it. This stuff is read, and usually used in heavy duty diesel trucks?!!!! Any suggestions????

Re: 1995 940t wagon Oil help and coolant question

The level is just above the hatch marks. Looks nice and clean and just smells of oil. I'm going to be watching it and see, I suppose it could be dragging a little up the dipstick. My main concern at this point was the 0w40 a poor choice for oil? And did volvo ever make antifreeze that was red? I nee...

1995 940t wagon Oil help and coolant question

I recently bought a 1995 940T wagon. I noticed that when I got it the oil seemed a little over full. I just changed the oil and I swear I have it perfect with the top line, now it seems a little too full again. I am losing antifreeze, but I just noticed that I am leaking from the thermostat housing,...
