How do you remove 1986 240 starter?

Asked by Wiki User

You have to lift the car and look from underneath. There are 2 bolts that go thru the bellhousing and connect to the starter. Locate the starter (on Left Hand drive the starter is on the driver side). The 2 bolts are 19mm. The bottom bolt is easier to get out, the top one will require a long extension on the racthet and perhaps an impact gun. Try to loosen with a breaker bar if you have one.

Loosen the Tensioner pulley and push against the spring, and put a nail in the small hole to lock the spring back. Align the Crank pulley, Intermediate shaft, and Cam pulley to TDC, look for the notches for reference. Then put the belt on the gears in that order, and re check. Then pull the nail, and lock the bearing in place to keep correct tension.

You might need to replace the fuel pump relay, as it tends to burn out in the 200 series. You might need to replace the fuel pump relay, as it tends to burn out in the 200 series.

How do you troubleshoot bad instrument cluster lights in a 1993 Volvo 240 with good bulbs and all other dimmed dash bulbs work fine?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Typically the problem lies with the rheostat, the knob you turn to make the dash lights brighter or dimmer. When you turn the knob a little metal finger rubs along a circular spring changing the resistance, thus changing the intensity of illumination. That spring gets corroded. You can clean it, or you can replace it.

How do you adjust the idle on a Volvo?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I'm not sure what year or model of the car but if its somewhat new meaning about 1994. Then the computer does it and there is no adjustment. If you getting a rough or low idle it is probably time for a tune-up. If tune-up doesn't work you may have to replace idle control valve, up to 1989 there was an idle adjustment knob on throtle body for fine tunning.

How do you replace headlight lens cover for Volvo 240 1993?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Unless it is broken or cracked it does not need to be replaced. At Walmart and I'm sure automotive stores there is a product ($20) that restores the lens. It comes in a package...includes two grades of sandpaper, a gritty compound and a sealer. It is amazing. Used it on my son's 1992 Subaru and my daughters 1989 Volvo. They are almost new and you can actually see at night now.
