1988 240 Sedan intermittant loss of acceleration 200 1988

posted by  someone claiming to be patrick on  Sun Feb 16 17:47 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Yes I will Ditto the Converter
lay under the car and knock on it
and see if it makes a rattle noise
even if it does not it still would be bad
I have broken 3 so far
ever 15000 miles I need on on my 86 240
the aftermarkets are just not like the volvo one
mine always break on the back side
so if you just unbolted it on the front flange
you would not be able to tell.

to repair
I had the muffler man weld the flange to a piece of pipe
instead of the converter and just use exhaust clamps to attach it
so now it is a easy change that is if exhaust work it easy

hope this helps

patrick
