I've seen a recent post about the economy guage that ties into the manifold system. Short of trying to get one from the dealer, even if they are still available, does anyone know where I might obtain one? I don't recall ever seeing one for sale.

Thanks.....

    Ebay or boneyards if your lucky. I have one lying around for the 700 Series (NOS in factory box) but I would love to trade it for a 200 series gauge. I just talked to my Volvo Dealer and the gauge can no longer be ordered but he did give me the Volvo part # 1128861 , if your lucky maybe another dealer has one hanging around. Good Luck!!!

    Sincerely,

      Well if you really want one for your 260, I have one I'd be willing to trade. It's hardly NOS, but it's in okay shape. If you're interested e-mail me, and I'll see if I can get some pictures scanned in.

    They show up on ebay now and then and people go nuts bidding.check with Volvo only auto dismantlers,www.sawvolo.com or www.strandbergauto.com are ones that come to mind.If you don't need to say Volvo on the gauge then get it at egauges.com It is the same thing.good luck,
    Nelson

      Hope you realize that it's simply a vacuum gauge... really just gives an indication of throttle opening. The misnomer "fuel economy" comes from the assumption that the best fuel economy occurs at the smallest throttle openings, which is not always true.
