All around Disc, 13" I believe
If it's missing get one.Sounds like a fuel pump relay is going $40 part.
Not very. I have an 86 240 DL with 285,000 miles. I would guess 0-60 is about 9 seconds. While speed is not one of the 240's virtues, it has many good traits. Mine is reliable, very safe, very cheap to maintain, cost only $1500 and it gets close to 30 mpg (manual trans.). My other car is a 1991 BMW M5, but I pick the Volvo to drive over half the time.
NO!!!.....not unless you changed for old style calipers too.....why would you want to do it?....you would be seriously reducing braking power and safety.....it's not safe or cheap or or clever way to go!!
86 mm x 16
Not stock... I have one with the '64 Dual SU carbs from a 122 =) ... fun
My 86 will average 26 mpg combined city hwy driven normally. When I'm in the high mileage mode (coasting where possible, slow acceleration, low rpm) I can average 28 combined. On a 500 mile road trip (all highway) driving at the speed limit, and drafting big rigs when possible, I averaged 35 mpg.
Most power steering units use the generic power steering fluid available at most auto part stores. However, some import makes are different, sometimes using different fluid types in different years. Your best bet is to check the manual for the correct type. Volvo 240 manual specifies the following: Power steering fluid Capacity: 0.8 US qts = 0.75 liters.Fluid type: ATFReplace: no fluid change required.The dipstick is attached to the cap. Fluid level should be between MIN and MAX marks. Add fluid when the level is at the ADD mark. The ATF in question is Dexron/Mercon, also used in the 240's automatic transmission. You may find it in different types, like II or III. The later type supersedes and replaces the older type. If you have to add fluid more often than once every couple of months, look for leaks. Hoses would be the first place to check, followed by pump and rack.
86 bhp (87 PS/64 kW) is the power of the Volvo 131 1962 engine and its maximum speed is 131 mph.
in many cases, contaminated brake fluid is the problem.
You don't. It uses a small amount of transmission grease similar to the grease in the rear end.
I have that motor in my 89 Volvo penta boat. But also know that it's in 86 to 89 chev gmc trucks.
If you know how to drive stick, then definitely get one! I've heard of more transmission problems with 240 autos than manuals. Plus, it's more fun, can (potentially) raise MPG, and allows you to have more control over the vehicle, particularly useful when towing.
