1993 Volvo 940 GLE review from Australia and New Zealand
"Good, solid, easy to maintain car, purchased for A$4000, which I believe makes it good value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Drivers side front seat slightly worn, and the seat belt has worn through seat material.
This car was a one owner low mileage car, which has had only limited use the last few years of the previous ownership. Due to an unknown service record, I have had the cambelt replaced, and also had a new crankcase ventilation kit installed.
Car had a check engine engine light and SRS lights displaced at time of purchase. The oxygen sensor was replaced and the SRS reset by VOLVO specialist, and I have had no further problems.
Front disc rotors on car need replacement, and I have bought replacement rotors (Brembo) at approximately half the quoted price of genuine parts.
General comments?
This car is a very comfortable vehicle on highway. It's not a performance vehicle, but is quite adequate.
I have found it to be reasonably economical; 32MPG at 110kmh on the open road.
