I thought there would be a way to unlock the trunk without unlocking the doors.I have a 90 240DL.The way I have it set up now is everything opens and closes at the same time.I know the trunk won't "pop" but I thought maybe it could be opened alone.I was just curious if someone had tried this arrangement and how they did it.I can live with the all doors all the time thing.Now to look for a broken wire.I don't like the idea that my central looking system is only working with the fob.It's a bit of a PIA. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1387595&rss=1 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:00 GMT I got tranny cross member from them,the part looked mew! Good prices and fast shipping. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1387589&rss=1 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:50 GMT Art, when you installed the keyless system did you also have it so that you can unlock the trunk seperaely? How?Thanks, Nelson http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1387531&rss=1 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:10 GMT Let us be kind. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1387527&rss=1 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:56 GMT I have that keyless setup system from JCwhitney on my 90 240DL.You will also need a power door lock motor and rod for the drivers side.You can then tap the power wires off the rear left door lock motor.It is pretty straight forward.You can also set it up to unluck just the trunk but I did not do this.Worked great.The only bummer part now is that the central locking control that wraps around the door lock cylinder stopped working.So when I'm in the car and need to lock the doors I have to use the key fob.The doors won't lock using the door knob.Too lazy to change it. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1387432&rss=1 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:36 GMT Bad gas?Low octane?Just a thought. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1387251&rss=1 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:49 GMT The 25 finned Coronas are 14 inch. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1387035&rss=1 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:58 GMT Don't know if the 850s are shade tree friendly as i only know 240s.On the bright side every time I've gone hunting for 240 parts at the yards I only find 850s,and in really good condition,the cars are usually complete.Maybe the people owning these cars don't go looking for parts,they just scrap them when they break.Stand firm,look for a 240! http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1386569&rss=1 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:48 GMT I picked up a 92 240 that had an intermitent shift lock problem.Drove me crazy.While fusssing with it,the yellow plastic thing broke.No more problem!Starts all the time. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1386359&rss=1 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 02:46 GMT I'm working on 2 different 240s right now with the same problem in your pic.On one I used a piece of pipe as a sleeve to shore up the break.Not pretty,minor leak but hey it is more quite and does not hang down,car is not a keeper.For the other car I ordered a new exhaust from FCP.I was thinking about coating the inside of the pipes at the joints with POR or some type of anti-rust paint.Maybe it will help. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1386358&rss=1 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 02:43 GMT nel621@optonline.net http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1386317&rss=1 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 23:52 GMT tried emailing you but did not work. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1386179&rss=1 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 04:42 GMT Good info and pics! http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1386178&rss=1 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 04:36 GMT FCP Groton has the seals,about $80 I think.Clean the drains,replace the seals and you should be good to go.Much cheaper than changing it around. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1385262&rss=1 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:42 GMT Just a thought,but check your rear right caliper.May be binding on one side of the caliper.The last 4 volvos I worked on had a problem with one of the pistons on that caliper. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1385261&rss=1 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:38 GMT For 15 grand I would want better leather surfaces,no paint chips, or dings in the grille,etc.,etc.Nice car maybe $7500 tops. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1385259&rss=1 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:34 GMT Just a thought,but if you found a suitable donor car it may easier to change out the complete rear. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1384209&rss=1 Thu, 5 Nov 2009 01:48 GMT After all is said and done,keep it.Too much work to just give it away.Maybe sell it to your son for a low price.Usually things they spend money on are better taken care of down the road. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1383897&rss=1 Tue, 3 Nov 2009 18:25 GMT Remove voltage regulator.apply a little heat to soften the solder on old the brush.Remove old brush,thread new brush thru hole and resolder.That's it.Worked for me. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1383891&rss=1 Tue, 3 Nov 2009 18:14 GMT Good info,good links,Good luck!Stop ,you're making ME dizzy!Who knew there were so many sealant choices. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1383738&rss=1 Tue, 3 Nov 2009 01:56 GMT Mother Volvo must have been having a bad day when she decided to mess with the 240 crowd.I have had a few volvos and never had a problem with glove box hinges.I curently have 6 volvos and this is the first with the 2 nightmare,need a special screwdriver,hard to reach fastners.I can't see how having these 2 extra screws would help the hinges.I think the hinges break because the plastic becomes brittle.Or if you are in the habit of letting the door fall open on its own instead of supporting it on the way down. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1383729&rss=1 Tue, 3 Nov 2009 01:38 GMT I was toying with the idea to replace the motor on the 92.It has 245k plus and some real loud piston slap on start up.After about 10 min. it is not as loud but still noticeable.I was only thinking about the swap to make the car more saleable.I may just sell it as is. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1383727&rss=1 Tue, 3 Nov 2009 01:24 GMT Thanks that's good info about the manifold! http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1383724&rss=1 Tue, 3 Nov 2009 01:20 GMT I thought that if the 93 used the round tooth belt it was a "different" engine,hence the need for the 93 ECU. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1383522&rss=1 Mon, 2 Nov 2009 01:19 GMT Found a low milage 93 engine L block.I think this is the same motor as my 92 except for the so-called squirters,yes?Aside from the motor will I only need the computer?Will everything else be the same?I think the motor comes with the wire harness,not sure.Just wondering if this is a straight swap or would a 92 motor be better? http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1383502&rss=1 Mon, 2 Nov 2009 00:05 GMT Use the text input below to search brickboard.com query http://www.brickboard.com/FIND/
