About Volvo

Hello There! asked:


My 1999 Volvo S70 threw the code P0420, Catalyst Pressure Below Threshold or something along those lines. I just replaced my catalytic converter last july, and replaced the air filter not long after the code was thrown. The guy at Autozone said this probably means I need to replace the 02 sensor. I was wondering if the front and rear sensors are identical, or if they are two different parts.

I found a Volvo S240 for $700 but the 5th gear synchronizer is messed up and I’m wondering how much it would cost me

I had a mechanic (Volvo specialist) tell me I need a 100,000 mile tune-up (runs a few thousand dollars) on my 99 V70 Cross Country. It includes replacing timing belts and a few other things. Is this tune-up really necessary?

Steve B asked:


I just had a full 120,000 mile tuneup and timing belt replaced about 10 days ago. Two days later I noticed the smell of gas and a day after that I noticed my car was leaking about a half quart of oil per day. I took my car to the nearest Volvo mechanic, which is not the same dealership I did the service at (Bill Kidd’s Volvo in Timonium, MD). The new Volvo mechanic (Scandinavian Auto in Rockville, MD) is claiming I need a new fuel pump and will not be able to see why my oil is leaking until they do this service for safety reasons. When I had the tuneup done at Bill Kidd’s, they had torn the fuel line (I believe) and replaced it. Now I am stuck here as to what I should do. Can someone please help me out? Of course, I believe that Bill Kidd’s must be responsible for the improper installation of some parts for all of this to happen within two days of my getting the car back! This is costing me all kinds of money and a huge headache. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Steve

I understand that I MUST get this problem fixed IMMEDIATELY however I don’t have the money to fix it right now. So in the meantime, i have to keep putting oil every week into the motor. I see different kinds of oil:5w, 10w,etc…What kind does my 93 5 cylinder volvo need?

1990 Volvo 240, with 220,000 miles on it. It won’t shift into park, but rather downshifts into reverse automatically. Automatic transmission, by the by. It’s E-braked and blocked, but that’s only a temporary fix. My suspicions are that it’s either a bent or broken parking pin, thoughts? My budget is limited and I don’t want to spend $1800 fixing my $2000 car. Thank you. Contact if more info is needed.

I’m looking to replace the armrests and a few other interior parts on a 1979 Volvo 242 DL, and was wondering if the armrests and other parts from a newer Volvo 240 (1985-93, somewhere in that range) would fit. They look to be pretty much the same part, but wanted a second opinion before I hop on eBay and start buying. Thanks!

Im about to buy a 2004 Volvo S40. It has 47,000 miles on it and is in VERY good condition. Here’s the downside… It has no warranty.. what are my chances that I won’t have any problems with it for a while, until i can afford to buy to extended warranty?

A friend of mine has an old Volvo 940 that needs them replaced in the front and he would like to have an idea as to what the cost could be. He has the struts already and just needs someone to install them as it’s too big a job for him and it’s too cold out at this time of year for a shade tree mechanic such as he. It’s rear wheel drive and in very good condition.
