Hello all! I just bought a beautiful 1994 940T wagon. It's a non-lockup automatic transmission and has 138K miles on it.
The owners I got it from bought it with 10K miles and always serviced it at the dealer! I have every service record since new and they always changed the oil, trans fluid, coolant, BRAKE FLUID!, etc.
It's got a new volvo exhaust (not sure about the cat though)
the AC has been gone thru and works great
new radiator
new tires
I got this puppy for only $2500!
anyhow it has been running pretty good, but my overall MPG has been in the 17-19MPG range. Is this pretty normal for a turbo wagon with an auto trans? I have not been beating on it, but I have not been driving it like a grandpa either.
The car idles a little rough here and there, so in looking over the records I don't see any record of a new cap & rotor... so they are on the way along with sparkplugs.
not sure of a new O2 sensor ever either?
The air filter is good.
As for power - it's not super slow, but not as punchy as I'd expect. The Turbo gauge will go up to just under 3/4 (or think of it has just under 1/2 thru the white area on the factory turbo gauge)
I also have a set of IPD swaybars on order!
Can I safely turn up the turbo boost a little once I've got the car tuned up fully?
Is there anything else I should look for in getting this thing running the best it can?
Thank you!!
