I recently purchased an '89 744T. This is my first Volvo ever. I always do all my own work on all of my cars. The PO gave me 2 green Volvo Service Manuals - sections 20-22 ( General, Engine and mounts, lubricating system ) and sections 25,26,27 ( Intake and exhaust, Cooling, and Engine controls ). These manuals seem excellent. The PO also gave me a Chilton's manual which isn't worth the paper it's printed on. He also gave me a "Popular Mechanics" CD for the car which is kind of lame for service, but it contains all the TSBs for this year 740. The TSBs are very nice to have. When I bought the car I thought that Bentley made manuals for it and I planned on buying one. Oops. Bentley doesn't make manuals for the 740 - just the 240, as far as I can tell. I see Haynes makes a 740 U.S. manual for 82-88. Aside from the "K" version of the B230FT differences, I don't know of anything that's different between my '89 and the included '88 year of the U.S. Haynes manual. Am I missing something or should I just go ahead and buy a '82-88 740 U.S. Haynes manual?
Thanks for your advice
