Welcome

When you have a problem, read the 700/900 FAQ - it is extensive and many issues are similar or are exactly the same as your car.

For instance, we had a '88 744 GLE and a tech told me that my car had a 240 engine. Also one of my friends had a 240 that had the same instrument panel as our 744.

Volvo often used new items in some of their current models to test them out. Also, I suspect that they used older parts that they had to get rid of, or did not have new parts fully tested. Sort of like the Albacore and Nautilus experimental submarines, the Albicore had a new hull but an older engine, the Nautilus had an old hull and a nuclear engine - this allowed them to test the new hull and engine with a legitimate comparison.

You should scan through the 700/900 FAQ to see just how extensive it is.

Example - under fuel injector there is a discussion about cold start injector and its symptoms.

Good luck, and I hope you have as much fun as our 4 drivers have had with our 5 740s, 3 850, and a 240. Currently 2 XC70s, a 544 and a 1800.
