Gidday, Have been planing and talking about doing this for years, have read again the previous correspondence and refreshed my mind. I need to rebuild the...
Hi I am a new member to the forum.I have just upgraded my old 740 to a 850 SE Wagon with a B5254S motor. It is a beautiful car to drive : ) If anybody is...
Hi it is an 85 model 4 speed auto sedan with the B230 E motor. It is silver in colour. I don't have any recent pics but I have some from when I bought it. It...
As with many Volvo situations, the problem may seem complex but the solution is often simple. So the engine would start fine then cut out after a few minutes,...
Got me confused this one A few months ago my '81 244 developed a problem - it simply won't rev when in gear; works fine in Park or Neutral, idles fine and revs...
Johnno You would have thought it could be transmission 'torque convertor' related, fluid not transmitting drive effectively from stop, fluid level? Anthony...
Considered that at first, will double check that again when it warms up a little outside (WA time) but it's the engine that won't rev; put your foot flat to...
Johnno So too much air (+leaks) & not enough fuel to match, OR its an ignition distributor issue (perhaps vacuum advance cannister). I have asked a friend for...
2nd advice from a friend: "sort of bogs down" does not give enough of a clue - does the motor feel as if it is being loaded when in drive?? I suggest it might...
just to confirm, I checked the tranny fluid level, loaded up each gear - level at max for cold transmission, so that appears ok anyhow. can't seem to find any...
quick answer yep, difficult to describe properly; but when in gear it seems to be loading all right, the car moves forward/backward ok, just no 'response' from...
When you say that you replaced the air mass meter, do you mean the fuel distribution unit? AMM is for the electronic fuel injection system, B23E should have...
thanks Steve, yep fuel distibution unit if that is its name, will work through the list over next few days. Thing is once I have some road speed, the whole...
This reminds me of a problem I had with my Kawasaki GPX motorbike. Switch on no problem, revs out beautifully in neutral, nothing amiss there, but as soon as I...
think I may be onto the problem, advance mechanism inside dizzy moves freely enough when turned by hand, so if that seems to be working ok, and all vacuum...
Gidday, Am cosidering fitting a 16" Davis Radiator fan to the GT. It will be superchargered after the engine rebuild so I have an Intercooler to sneak in as...
I have found that it needs to be quite close to the radiator. I also found issues when i was trying to get this working with when to cut in the fan. I found...
hi Les, Get a hold of some 740 turbo or 760 turbo radiator/intercooler mounting brackets. Same style as the 240's just longer to hold both a radiator as well...
Gidday, Thanks for the feed back, will certainly try the Fan directly against the core minus the cowling. Actually I like the nice big cowling, empasises the...
Hello Les, I think I still have a set of brackets & intercooler, oil cooler etc back in Brissy - I will be up there next week if interested. Take care. Shane ...
Hi Les, A hair drier, but only a small one (standard 88 740 turbo TD05-12B). The gt has a b230ft in it so I needed an intercooler so instead of going backwards...
Hi Shane are you the guy who lived down at Logan Village? I bought a fuel flap bracket from you for a 740 a while back. Would you have a coolant reservoir for...
Les, I have a complete set of US-spec 240 turbo radiator and intercooler mounting brackets as well as associated hard plumbing lines. If you’re interested,...
Guys A seriously good parts resource OR place to do your homework on identifying parts is Scantech http://www.scantechsweden.com/ then select Katalog You can...
And here's another one for folks who are after parts to suit early stuff (120, 140, etc). Not as comprehensive but they do have a bunch of interesting bits not...
When repairing spark plug hole threads, turn the motor over until the piston is at the bottom of the block just at the start of the compression stroke. Fill...
Gooday. I am new here - have a 2004 (reg'd 2005) s60R with evolve steel braided lines/slotted and hatted rotors, and an ecu remapped by Bayside Performance...
G'day Peter (?) and welcome. Its obvious that you really miss working on cars so I have a proposition for you which you just won't be able to turn down:...
