My friend has a 93 240 sedan, & he can't put gas in in the tank from the pump. The pump handle just keeps shutting off. If he pours gas in the filler neck from his lawnmower gas can, it will go in. Problem with venting in the cars filler neck?

Best way to order parts from klracing.se ? Having trouble getting a good full page english translation. Need cam lash caps. Thanks

I put a set of Euro headlights & having trouble adjusting the beams. These are TYC brand made in Taiwan sold by Swedish Car Parts. There are 3 adjusters on each (high beam, low beam,& fogs) but they don't seem to do much. the adjusters move but don't change the height. Anyone else run into this?

Are the Mahle B230f pistons and the B230 ft pistons all made of the same material? Are they all cast? Do all the red blocks all come from Volvo with Mahle pistons? Which would be a better pick for a street turbo motor rebuild if I ever get that far?

I got a set of 940 Euro headlights for Christmas for my 94 Turbo with fog lights. I tried to install them today & realized there are no backing plates/ headlight buckets. The "kit" came from Swedish car parts but the parts say Depo all over them (hope quality isn't too bad). The conversion kit...

A friend has a 93 240 & the front lower control arms are rusting out. Any feedback out there on the aftermarket control arms on the market? Are they a good choice, or is it better to find a pair of OE rust free ones?

84 242 turbo, with the headlights on, every time I step on the brakes the door chimer dings? Probably easiest approach is unplug the chimer but wonder what is causing this?

Just finished conversion, having trouble with idle after a speedy drive. Decided to bypass the idle motor. The lh 2.2 throttle body I picked up doesn't have the bypass hole drilled to use the black knob to adjust idle. Anyone know how big a hole to drill?

down to the last few wires on my LH 2.4 conversion on a 1984 240 Turbo. This car had been already converted to 2.2. I got my lh harness & some components from a 1992 240, it has an 11 pin connector. Just got help from dbarton & sbabbs on a couple of harness questions but still have more...

I have questions regarding the LH 2.4 conversion I am doing on a 1984 242 turbo. I can't find an 84 diagram that shows which fuses are connected to each other to tell where to connect my constant power (red wire), thick red/yellow (fused switched power?), blue wire (switched power to 15R on...

Would an 05 or 06 V50 make a good daily driver? Are there some upgrades for the T5? Suspension upgrades? Only downside I've heard is they are small, both inside & out? What year wheels fit them?

Is an engine wiring harness from a 1992 240 auto. with EGR worth pulling from a local yard? Anything about that make it not usable for a plus turbo?

my 93 240 horn works occasionally, sometimes not at all. 93 horns suck (only come with one horn), so I wired in a second one. When they work they sound fine. Problem seems to be inside, I took airbag off & worked the metal contacts manually & they are flaky working from there. Tried filing the...

Specifically looking for wiring through dash switches to rear defrost, heated mirrors, & a/c. When I tried to google these, the diagrams I found don't match up to the colors of the 93 240 wires? Don't know where to look.

I'm going to replace the C pillar trim on my 93 240 wagon. These are the pieces that go behind the rear doors and to the rear quarter windows. The old ones are broken to shreds, & the ones I'm putting in are nice used ones (but probably brittle from age). I'm nervous about breaking them on...
