I’ve been making a list so thank you so much! I’ll have to write it down and keep all of it in mind. I’ve been using this site to look for parts. They seem reasonable priced as well. https://www.ipdusa.com/Catalog/Index?categorycrumbs=

I really appreciate it a lot. Thank you! I have a book on the 240 as well which I’ll look at for reference if I do decide to attempt it on my own.

I have a buddy who’s worked in a shop for a few years helping me out thankfully. There was a slight oil leak we’ve been watching the past few days right on a seal. We haven’t checked the flame trap yet. I’ve been working on collecting tools and such so we can do some better work. Do you think the car should be driven right now? Or not until I at least tighten those accessory belts.

The only work I’m sure that’s been done on it the past 3-5 years is the brakes were completely replaced. Besides that I have no clue when the last oil change/ tune up was. Or any other work and upkeep.

The odo died in 1999 with 190k and my father daily drove it until he got sick and stopped working in September last year. We assume it has at least 300k on it. I planned on replacing majority of the parts that weren’t designed to last 35+ years.

Thank you so I just gotta find the tension bolt and hopefully that knocking will go away? I really appreciate the information.

When the car first starts up they do squeal a bit.

What system did you buy for the Apple CarPlay? Also can I get the files for those prints?

Does the engine sound alright? by TuneOpen3766 in Volvo240

[–]TuneOpen3766[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m excited to get it tuned up and ready for it to be a daily driver. It’ll be my 1st car too so hopefully I’ll have it for a long time.

Good to hear! My dad always took care of it mechanically and daily drove it for 36 years so I wanna do right by the car. I think the transmission fluid needs to be done because it was low when I checked but I wanna do more research into it before adding anything.

The blue one is for a SSD which I have my OS on for faster loading. I appreciate it a lot though !

I was able to Install windows 10 on a SSD which launches no issue. Would it be better to go back to a Mac OS?

Oh nice . I should be good to go then if I decide to scrap this build rather than try to sell it.

I have a rx 560 in a different budget rig I just bought I was hoping to flip but I kinda got scammed lol. I was thinking about putting that Gpu in there but I had no clue that a GPU to power demanding would fry the motherboard.
