He gives all the diagnostic symptoms to help you determine if your ABS in faulty and then step-by-step illustrated instructions on how to remove and replace your module.

The other day I was driving on highway at 70mph and the fourth gear went out, I could hear the car obviously in third, pressed the OD on side of gear, light came on but nothing happened. Let car rest for about 10min. and got back on highway without a problem. Next day things were fine, the car shifted like a champ and my OD was working normal. Next day in town began not shifting into fourth gear, around 40mph. Went to get oil changed and told mechanic about it, he said I need a new transmission, I'm weary about spending a $1000.00 when it could be electrical, since the problem is not consistent at all. He also said the trans. fluid was black. Old volvo mechanic in Denver had to fix a problem with the white box back behind glovebox, something about a slight crack on the pane. %0D%0AAny advice on how to save my baby 240 with only 100,000 miles. %0D%0A http://www.brickboard.com/CLUBS/volvo/1213892/93_240_wagon_fourth_gear_wont_work_problem.html?rss=1 Tue, 4 Sep 2007 22:34 GMT A transmission that goes into 4th gear sometimes and not at other times indicates an electrical problem to me. Things that are broken mechanicially don't fix themselves and then re-break themselves. If it's broken, it stay's broken. I would check the overdrive relay for cold solder joints, and dirty contacts. I have re-soldered virtually every relay board on mine (1985 245 GL) and everything now works as advertised. If this does not correct your problem, take a look at the overdrive solenoid (and the related wiring). You should look at the transmission fluid, and if it's really that dirty, drain and replace the fluid.%0D%0A%0D%0A http://www.brickboard.com/CLUBS/volvo/1215361/93_240_wagon_fourth_gear_wont_work_problem.html?rss=1 Mon, 10 Sep 2007 00:37 GMT hi there!%0D%0A%0D%0Ai live in the U.S.A. and have always loved bmw,audi,volvo etc. i have found what i believe to be, and was told by the owner ...one of three us 1966 volvo 122/ amazon race cars. the previous owner said his uncle bought the car in the late sixties, or early seventies. i have no clue of how to track the history of this car. i was told that the factory/dealership built this car, and stamped a seriel # on the b pillar on the roll cage, and that tag is still there. i was also told that there is no title for the car. there is a tag on the cowl that has multipe #'s, but i have no resources to research said #'s. this car was originally powder blue with dodge rims( which i have) it also is only wired for tail lights, it has a smith tach, in the dash, four wheel disk brakes, and also the entire 3 peice front clip is fiberglass.%0D%0A%0D%0A i guess the question i have, is did i find a piece of volvo racing history, or some guys old toy? i would love to put the car back to the way it came, but again i have no way to know what it looked like,what #,or who the driver was.%0D%0A%0D%0Aany info would be great.%0D%0A %0D%0A %0D%0A %0D%0Agarrett%0D%0A http://www.brickboard.com/CLUBS/volvo/1200666/1966_volvo_122amazon_road_course_car_questions.html?rss=1 Thu, 19 Jul 2007 19:03 GMT The number on the cage is a SCCA ID number like 19-007, the first number is the area the car was raced in,you can check with SCCA and find out what club issued that number,then contact that club, SCCA issued numbers starting in 1971.

The problem began when the alternator belt broke and caused the power steering belt to come off, well the belt is designed to cover the fan and crankshaft and back to the power steering pump. Well I've done all the right steps to loosen the bolts and tension belt, move it forward, but again the belt is too short. The problem I have is the original belt was thrown away, before I could get the sizing. I've been working with a belt that is 11.9x1013, but it's too small. Anyone have this problem with their car? I would send a picture if anyone needs to see the diagram. %0D%0A%0D%0AThanks, Alfonzo http://www.brickboard.com/CLUBS/volvo/1200301/vbelt_size_volvo_740_glenon_turbo_power_streering_belt.html?rss=1 Wed, 18 Jul 2007 18:54 GMT Hey Guys,%0D%0A%0D%0ASorry, I forgot to put this information in the original post.

I wanted to let everyone know that I took as many things into consideration as I could when trying to set up a time and a place for us to meet. I would like for everyone who is willing to meet at Mac's in Charlotte on Saturday July 14th at 6:00pm. For anyone that has never been, this is a really cool restuarant with plenty of outdoor seating, and if we get there early enough we can beat out the motorcycle crowd for the good parking out front so everyone can see our rides!%0D%0A%0D%0AI think this will be a real good time for everyone, plus we have a lot of things to discuss. Part of what I've been checking on during this time is what would be required to start our own VCOA chapter, if we chose to do so. What I found out was that VCOA is looking for someone to take over the NC chapter, currently in Cary, NC. I'm really wanting to do this, and think it would be cool for us to join up and inject a little life into the existing, but sagging group. But, like I said, I would like to discuss that with everyone first. %0D%0A%0D%0AIf you guys have any questions, please feel free to contact me at wostover@bellsouth.net .

They have been around for a long time, but are generally quite expensive. As for their service, I cannot really say good or bad. All I know is They have a minimum service fee for just bringing the car into the shop. I might try Bert and Jacks as they have also been servicing Volvos for ages. As far as Volvo clubs go there is one that exists made up of mostly 240 owners.

Yep, expensive - just like any dealership with the big inventory of parts and special tools and factory trained mechanics. But they've always fixed my problem, fixed it the first time, and fixed it right 'cause I've never had to go back. And that's worth something. Of course, YMMV.%0D%0A%0D%0AI've had pretty good work from Bert and Jack's, but that's on the RWD cars, so I don't know how good they may be on the newer FWD stuff.%0D%0A%0D%0AI too, lived in the US for a while.

I will try Valentine but I am leary. I have dealt with a lot of Volvo dealers over the years (from about 1970 in Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver, Daytona Beach, Denver, Oakland, and Portland. I have owned a number of Volvos and with very few exceptions my experiences with Volvo dealers have been negative. The exceptions were in Waterloo, Ontario and Daytona Beach, FL. They are always very nice to you when you buy and OK while the car is on warranty, but after that they want to rip you off. Their hourly service rates are outrageous and their parts expensive.
