Odometer and Cruise Control Problem 200 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be chris on  Fri Feb 13 04:31 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Ah, the all-mighty odometer problem.. This seems to be an ideocyncracy in the later 240's.. They go out between 160-180K-miles.. I had mine fixed by a Volvo guy in Gainesville,GA(The European Specialists,, I think).. He was the only one in the region risky enough to pioneer the job. The problem is cuased by a small gear which eventually breaks.. I believe it was made of rubber and the rubber eventually dries up and breaks up too!

My trip-meter also failed the same month the odometer failed.. All together it only cost me $200 for both to be repaired.

I was going to get a used cluster from the bone-yard, but then I discovered that all the clusters in the 240's which matched the one in mine had the exact same problems! So that plan was scratched.
