What is the definition of amplifier?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you are speaking of the radio amplifier, it takes the low powered signals from the radio and increases them for output to the speakers. Amplifiers usually have some provision or internal programming for splitting the signal so lower frequencies go to subwoofer and midbass speakers while higher frequencies go to tweeters.

What is wrong if the sunroof on your Volvo 960 is not leaking out of the drains but from the inside track?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Hi I just got my 97 960 , sun roof loked at it was leaking on both sides. I watched a guy do it that had years of experience. He is not always sure of were the water gets in . Seems like a lot of trial and error.

He cleaned off the seal around the glass with paper towel (the seal that looking from the top goes over the glass by a 1/2 " } . He had a piece of plastic {like a knife} and got it under the seal and blew any dirt out with compressed air.Then he used a caulking gun with a urathane cartridge in it {buy at the auto store for puting in windshields} and got the urathane under the seal all the way around. For any cleanup he squirted the excess urathane with a soppy water and ran a flat razor blade around the glass .Wipe off excess on per towel as you go. Also to check your drains there is a hole in each corner of the sun roof ,. Blow each hole with compressed air . At the front you should hear air at the bottom corner of each side of the wind shield. I didn't think it would work but it has rained yesterday and no leak !

Secondly when i shut the power sun roof , sometimes you can still hear the air sound so I have to bump the roof toggle switch to get a tight shut off. A Volvo mechanic showed me how to adjust it. There is an adjustment on each side of the sun roof .You can see it from insde the car on the sun roof linkage toward the back. Loosen off the small bolts on each side and push up on the glass.Tighten bolts back up.

Answersun roof has a tube at back of track which allow water to run off . this track if clogged will cause water to back up and run over side of track into car. better to put a vaccum tube on it than to blow thru which may clog it worse. J.R. good luck

In tank fuel pump Volvo 960?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Volvo 960 in the UK is a straight-six 3 litre model. If North American 960's are similar then yes, there is a fuel pump mounted above the fuel tank - it actually fits onto the fuel tank.

There's also another fuel pump located beneath the car, just aft of the front passenger seat (driver side in the States ..) in a bracket along with the fuel filter.

There's an eBay (UK) guide at http://reviews.eBay.co.UK/Volvo-960-Automatic_W0QQugidZ10000000003233806

There's also some photos on my website that may help you (www) glennsmart.btinternet.co.UK and choose 'Volvo 960' from the drop down menu.

Where is the turn signal flasher on a 1996 Volvo 960?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It's part of the mechanism contained in the hazard flasher switch module. It's really not just a hazard switch but a whole multifunction assembly for regulating activity of the turn lights -- L or R from the stalk, as a hazard set, and for alarm-set flashing.

The unit extends back about 6 inches from the little faceplate, so as you gently nudge it forward out of the faceplate (it's just a friction-fit), be prepared for how long it is.

The harness at the back has two plastic retainers, one on each side. See how they have to be bent -- very slightly and very gently! -- for the harness to slide out. BUT -- before taking off the harness, be sure to tie a cord securely around the wires behind it, so it will not slip back out of reach! (There is a lot of tension on it, as you pull out the assembly.)

I just discovered the above this morning, so I could check the continuity of the leads in the wiring harness, to be sure the wires and lights all worked and the switch unit really was the culprit, for my left-signal always on symptom. I'm glad i did check first, because the symptom recurs, when I connect the power (lead #6) and whatever is lead #9 -- so the way-expensive hazard unit seems not to be the problem (and it works fine for flashing all four and flashing right -- just not the left or all when the key is on). I'll have to ask you all about that situation -- but if someone as ignorant as i am the only one to answer the question I just did, I don't have high hopes of someone else answering my followup question!

What type of coolant does a 1996 Volvo 960 use?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is Volvo branded coolant that you can buy from the dealership. But that is only branded from another manufacturer. This coolant is orange/yellow. Some say to stay away from green coolant for Volvo's. Others have had good experience with them. But the most important thing is to NOT mix orange AND green coolant. Also mix with distilled water if not already pre-mixed 50/50.

PVC valve system on Volvo 940?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Volvo 940s do not have PVC valves. They do however have positive crankcase ventilation. Non torbo models have a flame trap that can clog, cause excessive crankcase pressure and blow out the oil seals. The flame trap should be checked every oil change. Change to the new plastic one if you still have the old brass finned one. It clogs faster. It is smaller than a golf ball. It mounts atop a 1/2 inch hose comming up from the oil box on the engine under the intake manifold between #3 & #4 cylinders. It has a small hose out the side and a "Ball Cap" hose on top.

How many gears does Volvo have?

If you have an automatic gearbox, 4. Plus two extra overdrive gears, in 3rd. and 4th. gears. The total will make 6 different gears.

European Volvo 960 with 2.0 liter turbo engines have manual transmissions with 4 gears plus manual overdrive.

The later S90 was also available with 5 gear manual (reverse was synchro!)

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Rechrome plasticYes it can. The process is called vacuum metalizing, it's actually a thin aluminum layer put on in a vacuum chamber.

The companies that do it can be found in auto hobbyist magazines like Hemmings Motor News, or check with your local model/hobby shop. It is common in the model car hobby.

What is the engine oil capacity OF A 1997 volvo 960?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

5.9 Quarts with a new filter. Often it takes slightly more. Check the oil level on the dip stick after it's sat for at least 5 mins. on level ground. It takes a while for the oil to drain back into the sump. Don't over fill. This engine doesn't like that.
