1992 Volvo 440 Li from UK and Ireland - Comments

Nothing serious, that's what's good about it.

Always starts and always goes but you almost always have a list of little mechanical things that need doing once it gets beyond 5-6 years old. Good for a DIY mechanic. Steering tends to wander, needs new rack once or twice a lifetime. Often a bulb somewhere that needs replacing. Not fast really but surprisingly vigorous if you want it to be - can catch you out if you're lulled into thinking it's sluggish, loads of torque at low revs. Drive it gently and the economy is amazing for a 1.8.

No luxuries on basic Li except heated front seats. Without power steering it's a beast to park, but good exercise!

How is it for parts?

It's a Volvo, they are not cheap.

Is there a warning light on the dash to warn of blown bulbs?

If so where about on the dash, and what does it look like.

Is it possible that you have an owners manual that you could copy for me? If you can I will supply my address.

I own a 440 Li and I think it's a lovely car, but I've got a dashboard light that stays on (no... not the sidelights!) it looks like an orange goldfish bowl with a cross through it.what is it!? thank you.

Hi Guys.

Volvo parts are quite often made in the UK, shipped off to Sweden, put in volvo boxes and\or stickers applied and shipped back. Guess who pays for this?? :)

German and Swedish car parts or Eurocarparts are just as good - and cheaper. (example: New Catalyst box £100 with VAT)
