Daily Driving
 
7 Attachment(s)
Hi everyone. Name is Don and a new owner of a Volvo!

Our family has an XC90 and since I needed another daily driver, I was able to snipe this one locally in Calgary, Alberta, Canada! AKA America's Hat.

Had to get it towed home because registry was closed and I didn't have an extra plate.

Some fun bits:

1991 Volvo 940 Turbo Wagon
Blue
5 seats (6 and 7 are missing)
BOV
RWD

Wagon

Did I mention it was a wagon?

Will I regret buying this land yacht? Maybe. Maybe not.

Who knows? Time to do the basic maintenance and be ski-hill ready.

Let the games begin!

Some things to consider:

- Finding 17s to fit in this beast (Definitely not 850 Turbo wheels)

Maintenance day! Went to my local Auto Value to gather some items:

Oil + oil filter
Headlight bulb
Rear wiper
Spark plugs
Engine degreaser

Following recommended weight as upkeep is what keeps the world go round! Switched the K&N for an OEM Volvo filter, because internet.

Head gasket needs work and the last oil was very thin. No way this was a month old oil.

Degreaser doing wonders.

Fluid top up:

Unplugged the battery and the engine light went away. Yay! Went for a test run and things went well!

Interior work and cleaning, next!

Did some interior work today. Sort of.

Tried to sew a rip, but my needle broke.

So I changed the stereo instead.

Attachment 14921

So there's a leak in the car and while investigating, found a weird tube that didn't belong...

You can see how it's an afterthought, touching hardlines

Where did it lead?!

Some fool rigged a POS catch can/blow-by.

FML.

Not really sure how to fix this...

ATF and brake fluid flush will be next week!
