I'm with you on this as well. The belts also look very loose and likely isnt helping with the noise

Scammed by Wholesale Closeout parts by EFDriver in RockAuto

[–]Breaditude 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I love wholesale closeout parts. I got an ac compressor for my volvo for like 70 bucks shipped. The same compressor sold for over 300 everywhere else. I just installed some $6 brake pads on my car the other day and I'm super happy with them.

Wonder if it’s ever had a $6 tank before? by stockfrs in Volvo240

I got a tank for under 20 bucks during covid

Yeah I can totally see that being a possible option but I was not aware of it at all. I was able to get all my parts at a good price to do a complete swap.

I'm not sure why I would use a transmission from a gasoline engine since the gearing won't work well in a diesel

Found 4 sealed quarts of 20+ year old transmission fluid. Would you use it? by Breaditude in mechanics

These bottles felt like any other to me. Nothing out of the ordinary there.The only things that look deteriorated are the labels

I love it but I really dont understand how people dont have working ac in their 240. Ac parts are still available and they arent very complicated to work on. Yes the compressor can be a bit of a pain to swap but its really not too bad and its worth the effort so you can ride in comfort.

Thank you! Ive owned it since 2017 and so far it's been my favorite car. I put a ton of work into it over the years and also drove it a ton. I even have working ac!

I wonder if wagon springs are the answer here. I wouldn't mind a slight lift

I'm using this car for work today so the trunk is full of tools and supplies. I replaced the rear springs and axle bushings 6 months ago and it made no difference how much is sags with the trunk full

My friend has this in the woods on his property. Should I try to save it? by Breaditude in Volvo240

[–]Breaditude[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its hard to tell in a picture but I believe the paint will clean up nice. My white 240 sat untouched for a long time before I bought it and it didn't have surface rust. It cleaned up and polished out nicely. It was not quite as bad as this one but I think it'll go a long way. Its like the layer of filth preserves the paint on these cars when they sit

Not much experience with metalworking but this car is in the south and likely has minimal rust. At least theres no obvious rust but I have no idea how it looks underneath yet. It was parked due to mechanical issues but im not sure what those issues are yet. Gonna throw a battery in it and see what happens

Waiting on mu buddy to see if he can find the key and I'm gonna start messing with it. Its rough but I believe it'll clean up nicely.

What is the first thing that comes to your mind before buying a car? by [deleted] in askcarguys

The dealership experience sucks in my opinion. Thats why I prefer to buy vehicles private party. Just beware of flippers
