Re: How is your Volvo? Informal Survey 700 92

posted by  someone claiming to be Charles Granberry on  Fri Oct 12 03:48 CST 2001 [RELATED]

1989 740 Turbo Intercooler. B230FT 4 cylinder. 167,000+. Fully optioned. I have owned the car for two years and here is the work I have done on it:

Replaced water pump.

Replaced water pump hose.

Replaced fuel filter.

Replaced radiator. (All replacement radiators at Shucks and NAPA did not have the threads for the sensor cap. Must purchase a Nissens!)

Work that needs to be done:

Sunroof motor replace.

Oil leak traced and repaired.

Replace struts front and rear.(I believe I have the Nivomat suspension-debating conversion.)

I was in a wreck in this car and was T'ed on the driver side rear wheel.$2,500 worth of repair, body work only! The car that hit me was traveling at about 30-40 mph! I drove the car after the wreck! I challenge any domestic car owner to do the same. All the work I have done and that needs to be done is normal wear and tear. I have had the car on a highway up to speeds of 110 mph before it the steering wheel started to shake. In my opinion, best made car in the world.

Minor annoyances:

Rear taillights keeps popping bulbs.
