1992 240 wagon
All,
New to this site and new to volvos. with that said I am going to look at a 92 240 wagon that I am thinking of buying. One owner 250000 miles is there anything I should be worried about? Do these cars have any major issues? I know its 24 years old but it seems from what I have read they are a beast! Any info is appreciated! thanks. |

Well I am the proud owner of a 92 240 wagon! It had some personalities but is a really solid car.,timing belt was changed in 11 but it was only driven 2000 miles. They live in the city and just don't need it. All the lights burn/turn signals etc. Speedometer works but the odometer doesn't. It's a cool car!

I figured it out!! Buddy of mine said you can buy a kit and swap out the Volvo engine with a 302 ford.

Man, as is, that is by far the best car EVER built. I put over 400,000 miles on the red block Volvo that I had a while back. Keep the engine as is. If you want more power, you can add a turbo to it and keep right on rolling.

I originally bought this for a family member that was on hard times but they found a car. I think I am going to keep it and play around with it. It drives great. Small electrical issues and the AC Does not work. Did these have R-12 in them? How hard is it to change them to 134?

How can I tell what engine my new toy has in it? From what I have found so far the red block was the better of the three engines??
