Hello everyone,

I am new to your forum. A friend of mine directed me here is a volvo fanatic.

I am looking to buy a 91 740 automatic wagon. it looks to be in good shape. It has 198k on the sometimes working clock.

But a few problems that I know is were I ask for your help please.

The speedometer some times works,could it be a cable?

I googled a cable for it but it just shows a small sensor that looks like a magnetic pickup and goes in the rear end is this correct? I guess the other thing it could be is in the cluster itself.

Is this a common problem?

The 2nd problem is the AC does not work,was told the system needs flushed and recharged. I was told the clutch on the AC pump works and is not frozen.

I would appreciate and ideas or insight as to what these problems could be .

Any thing else I should look at or be aware of.

Regards
Don
