Volvo

2007-03-29 08:30:04 · 4 answers · asked by Tom D 1

I own a 1986 Volvo 240 GL. When the gasoline tank is full, the car runs great. When the gasoline level hits the halfway mark or below, the car starts acting up. At times when I hit the accelerator it feels like the car is going to run out of gas/loses might/shakes a bit. I have to let go of the accelerator for a second and then press down on it again for the car to run normally.
I was wondering if this problem rings a bell for any mechanics or automobile experts?? Is there a simple solution I can try (i.e. fuel injector cleaner or gas treatment, etc.)?? Any suggestions or helpful comments are appreciated.

Well, I am looking to purchase a Volvo, and came across two vehicles that I like, a 1994 Volvo 850 wagon or a Volvo 940 sedan.

I did drive a 940 sedan and liked it a lot until I was hit by truck on the interstate w/ it...very good car. The one I'm looking at purchasing is fairly worn out interior-wise, has 138,000 miles, and is selling for US$2,900. The 850 wagon is very, very nice looking, has 109,000 miles, and is selling for $3,500. However, I have heard 850's often have big repair issues.

So, fellow question/answer people, which one should I get? Mind you, I have the cash on hand to by either one.

I had to change the battery in my 1994 Volvo 850, and now the radio won't play because it needs the "code" to reset it. However, the owner's manuals are long-gne, and I don't know what the code is. I'm afraid that if I go to the dealer, they will charge me an arm and a leg. Can anyone tell me how to re-set the radio without the code?

Hello. I am driving my companies spare car at the minute. It is a Volvo 740 (1997). I have noticed two warning lights on the dash board. One seems to be a wiper/washer light and the other seems to be something to do with the bulbs.
Car is A-Ok as far as lights wipers etc is concerned.
Does anyone know what these lights may mean?
Cheers.

I am looking at a Volvo that is in great shape and runs good, but has 175,000 miles on it. It is a 1993 850 model. I've heard that Volvos are known to go well into the 200's to 300's. It's $2800. Do you think that it is a good buy?

While going down the road in my 740 Turbo today in 5th gear, it suddenly came out of 5th and went into 4th on its own, yet the "5" light on the dash remained lit. If I engage or disengage 5th gear with the shift button, the light will turn on or off, but the gear never engages.

Any suggestions?

Thanks ;)

I'm thinking about a new car. I have a Volvo S80 from the pre-Ford days and I really love it. It's not going to last me forever, and since I love mine so much I'd like to get another Volvo. But is it going to be as good as the one I've got?
