My friend has just picked up a '93 240 with 182,000 km. I have been really happy with my '87 740 and have convinced him to go Volvo. I am not so familiar with the brakes on the 240 so I wonder if anyone can let me know if there is a rebuild kit available for this master cylinder (with abs). I don't see any with the usual people that I buy from (fcp groton, eeuroparts, ipd) and I'm wondering if they are available anywhere. Also, which year 240's (and 740's) would use the same master cylinder?
I feel kinda bad right now, on his second day driving it the oil cap came off and sprayed oil all over his engine compartment, and all his dash lights came on. He pulled over, poured in new oil, but now is missing coolant. His windshield is cracking and his turn signal will not cancel. His wipers also will not now turn off. All in the last 2 days. He is dropping the car off at my place later today, and I will try to make everything right, but I am having trouble locating the master cylinder kit. I see new master cylinders available, but I am trying to do it on a bit of a budget (damn us, working fathers with young families!)
Thanks all.
