Just bought a 940 estate turbo. It's an SE and the 165 brake model with a manual box. It's fairly straight but requires a lot of TLC! Only just run in with 216159 miles on the clock lol Think the head gasket is gone though. Temp is sitting fine, doesn't seem to be any build of pressure. Doesn't blow any hot air either. Haven't really had a chance to properly look at it yet and may be jumping the gun. My first Volvo ;) Image Image Image This wee light is on the dash Image Dogs like it :) Image

Thanks for the hello's and welcome. I've managed to get the big lady checked out. Pressure tested and all seems good. Car needs a really good valet. I'll fire a bit of TLC at it. It's never going to be mint but after covering 216159 miles it's still in good order and everything works :) Sierra is mine too, I use it for shows ;)

Welcome to the forum. Good to see another 9 on here. Have you read the codes to see why the light is on?

[QUOTE=classicswede;687148]Welcome to the forum. Good to see another 9 on here. Have you read the codes to see why the light is on?[/QUOTE] Cheers. I'm really starting to get a big soft spot for these volvos :) I haven't had the codes read yet. Thought it might have been a lambda sensor but there seems to be a new one fitted.

Once I get it mot'd I'll start to play around with it a bit. Don't think I'll do much though due to the mileage

Post 687347 by classicswede on 2014-02-05 22:02:45

I suppose with such low millage the engine will still be a little tight. Give it another 100,000 miles and it should be ready for more boost :shockedbi You only need a piece of wire to read the flash codes

I can't wait until I get another 940 estate. I want a lower mileage and better example than this one. Bitten by the Bug :)
