Needed new brake pads, gasket went on the engine (where you pour the oil into) AC dosen't work anymore.
The only problem I have with my volvo is that in the damp weather the car hesitates and will stall for the first 10 - 15.
Great Car. This thing is a tank. I got into a accident, somebody pulled a you turn in front of me and I couldn't stop. I hit him dead on. the only damage that I had was I broke my passenger side turning light glass. The bulbs were still intact and working.
This Car just loves to be driven it keeps asking for more.
I also have a 1989 Volvo 240 DL and I have those same problems with mine and I do not know if there has been any recalls on them, but if you know of any please someone let me know.
