I'm with you. Could be I've even suggested the test socket to '93 owners based on my mistaken confidence in the documentation.
What I've learned through some brief exposure to my daughter's daily driver '93 could fill a web page dedicated to '93 uniqueness. This collection would likely never end, and I'm sure I wouldn't be covering everything beginning with the round-tooth cam timing arrangement.
I understand Volvo didn't plan to build 240s for the '93 model year. Popular demand and perhaps a bit of excess inventory of pieces-parts gave us this half-year pleasure ending on May 5. I imagine the 240 build line was close to chaos by then.
There are two (and I've heard unconfirmed rumors of three) electrical harness designs used in the '93. Notice, the gray 8-place connector we use to identify the location of that test socket isn't present either. Two versions of the trusted green book manuals exist for '93, one identified as "late production."
Someone could start a thread on this forum just for the collection of what makes the 1993 a unique 240. I'd contribute what little I've learned, but the '93 is very popular with us as old 240 owners, I'd quickly learn more than I could teach. Everything from the peculiar AC hose thread pitch to the reinforced glove box.
