this volvo belongs to a friend that wants to dispose of it.it's a freebe and i have to move it 150 miles.with the mechanical problems,i know to have it towed.sitting for two years,what other maintenance should be done(autotrans,etc,)? the car has a great body and the leather interior is pretty good.any help would be greatly appreciated,because i have no knowledge of these cars and i'm an occasional weekend mechanic.
Thanks so much1990,740 Volvo,not run in 2 years.Heavy oil smoke,quiet turbo,boost gage operating,seals?Worth fixing?Bodygood
I had a 740 '86 which run 600,000km. Great cars and hard to kill. Give it a try, if the smoke is heavy at the start only than it's rubber sealing around the valves. Just add oil and enjoy.1990,740 Volvo,not run in 2 years.Heavy oil smoke,quiet turbo,boost gage operating,seals?Worth fixing?Bodygood
You should for sure drop the gas tank adn clean it. Probably need to replace the fuel pump, and for certain the filter. Don't start it too much with the old gas in there. I say it would be wirth it. Shoot, if you don't want it, let me know where it is and I'll go get it. I love to work on cars, and my sis really needs one. I would also replace the seals as they tend to dry rot. Inspect the tires closely, as they are probably dry rotted too.
