A recent serires of drizzly days here in Pennsylvania sent my wife and I to the auto auction (ROAD TRIP!). Having a 90 244dl as a daily driver as well as a 94 850 turbo sedan in the garage as a current project car, I was wise as a husband when I asked my wife, "Do I really want to buy another Volvo?" She said, "Yes!" I had permission from a Fordillac driving wife.
So now I have a 97 "S90" 964 with a 6304 engine and all the bells and whistles. The gravel/splash shield is broken, and the tranny dipstick is broken off, otherwise the car is a complete delight to drive...
Where can I get a decent manual for this beast? Where"s Big Bad Bob Bentley's manual for this girl?
Should I go to synthetic lubes as I am with the 850 (5234FT), e.g. Mobil 1, and what are your recommendations regarding the brake fluid (DOT-4, DOT-3 ? dino or synthetic?)
The power windows are squealing, there's a slight tap in the valvetrain, but the weekend is coming, so I appreciate any advic eand cautions about my new 964. Thanks!
