What advice they now provide usually points to something they have for sale.
No longer Richard and sone Robert Gordon's iPd. He soled the company. Richard Gordon passed in 2014.
That culture was there, and I saw a bit of it in 1989-1990 trying to get a job at iPd and Jim Fisher Volvo in Portland. No job either way.
You will also note I do not cite iPd list of 10 problems for 240 for newbie 240 owners anyhoo (video / You Tube video).
Yet the brain trust in the newer 21st century owners of 240, 740, and maybe less so 940 versus the first or second group of used RWD Volvo owners, is not so great also. Cut springs. Giant wheels with spacers. Weld open diffs, break axle or the welded up diff. No root cause analysis to no start, run a wire from the battery to the fuel pump. Hack the wire harness. Have a fire. Dexron fluid in M46 / M47. Put M47 behind a +Turbo (N/A with Turbo and engine control added). Some M47s last yet most do not.
What we may be seeing is sort of the beginning of the end for RWD Volvo enthusiasm. Though I'll guess we can keep on keepin' it on. If we have a garage ...
I continue to find iPd publications, videos, and their website to be informative and useful.
My concern is electrolytic and other capacitors in the LH-Jetronic / EZK or, well, any 240 engine control units. Yet use other resources also.
The Amsoil SuperShift 10W racing fluid does well in my M47s. Maybe a blend of synthetic Type F and a 75W GL-4 with yellow metal additives may be best?
