I usually have my system vacuumed and charged by weight. If I do it early spring it will last until the winter, sometimes longer. I guess it depends on how often I used it. I don 't really know. But what I did do was to install a fill port on the low side hose just above/near the valve cover...

I thought the lines were oriented a bit differently, maybe. ?????

A brake spring tool may be helpful too in stretching the spring.

I have the rod off of the car. Haynes book say to install bushing mark at right angle to rod. My Scan Tech bushing has no mark. Bushing has 2 voids. Install so voids left to right or north and south as they fit in the rods. Thanks

I have a 90 240 with e-codes and wipers. I noticed today that I'm missing one wiper blade. Are the blades available in the US? Or do I need to source this from outside the US? Asking here before I put an ad in the wanted section. Thanks

This a cool and free car event in New Canaan CT. People come from all over just to show their cars, no judging. I was there 2 weeks ago and there were many high dollar cars as well as antiques, 60s, 70s, etc. foreign and domestic. It is free to all, get there early even if you don't show your...

I'll have to redo the paint on my 89 240. This time around I think I'll pull the windshield. I do like the look of the original trim but knowing that the clips are NLA I have to think twice. Question is can the new rubber be purchase and applied to the old glass to have the "92" look?

Is IPD still the go to for exhaust parts? Or Groton? After 32 years the down pipe on my 240 finally gave up. Cat back is fine but the Cat section itself doesn't look like it will survive the surgery. Any ideas?

I can't get my head around this. How exactly does this work? Also on reinstall does the trim just snap back into place?

Trying to find out if this scenario was true. Back in the 80s when Volvo customers were complaining about their V6 cars needing early cam replacement I'm told Volvo issued a TSB (technical service bulletin) on how to "repair" this issue. This was told to me by two different long term Volvo...

Anyone know the inside diameter?
