Re: How is your Volvo? Informal Survey 700 92

posted by  someone claiming to be Lawrence on  Tue Oct 9 15:01 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Mark,

I have a 240(106,000), 1990 With the b230. It also has a very slight knocking when it warms up. Its usually only heard in park or neutral. I worried with it. Never could figure out where it is coming from, or what it is.

The good news is that the car doesnt seem to mind. It runs like a banshee. And the knock doesnt seem to be getting worse. Im comitted to "just drive it". If something breaks, or it gets worse, then Ill think about fixing , or replacing the engine. Until then, Vrooooooooom!

I also have a 87-740(150,000). It to has engine noise which I and others have looked at and could never conclude what it was. This car also is a great running car.

Again the noise is only heard at low rpms, and is very slight. Vrooooooooom!

Im not sure I know what you mean by "resonating sound", but it could be the heat sheild. A very minor problem.

Ive owned several volvos. They make noises, and develop quirks, but they keep on rolling.

I hope this helps

Good luck
