Fixing a volvo 200 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be bosozoku on  Thu Apr 1 07:26 CST 2004 [RELATED]

In my town, there isn't a mechanic that will touch a Volvo.
Their loss, I guess. At least Volvos don't take several hours and
various unpleasant contortions to change their spark plugs. (See
Ford Taurus V-6)


I don't know why mechanics would be so averse to working on older
Volvos. The cars are actually of very similar design to older
American cars. RWD with tranny in front, McPherson strut suspension
with live rear axle, ... really nothing to it. The only difference
is that the engine is an OHC 4 rather than a pushrod V-8, but so
are a lot of other engines these days. Then again, I live in NJ
where most mechanics (will claim to be able to) work on any car.
