1986 Volvo 360 GLTi review from Australia and New Zealand
"Has SERIOUS Potential"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Factory Mags were warped out of shape.
New Timing Belt needed.
New Clutch and Gearbox overhaul needed.
Torque Tube Failure.
Doesn't start first go (even after tune-up)
Injectors always clog open and allow too much fuel into the engine, resulting in shocking fuel economy and bad acceleration.
Speedo erratic between 40 - 55kmp/h.
General comments?
I bought this car with the intention of doing it up and make people see that even Volvo's can be cool. However every week a new problem arises. I'm sticking to my guns though, I'm determined to make this car a hot little number.
The car is very comfortable.
Doesn't have much sting until about 2500rpm.
