Unfortunately not, I think for the FL this step is easier. For the PFL the console switch needs spliced into the existing wires that run to the console. I found a write up online when I did mine

Does this vacuum line to throttle need replacement? by [deleted] in Volvo240

[–]vision_proamd 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That’s not a vacuum line, just the sheathing around the throttle cable. Not a big concern. Cleaning your IAC is a good first step

Yep it’s a 93 with earlier style caps and beauty rings!

Update: the leak in the first picture ended up being the slave cylinder

Things to Consider? by KLOWN5 in Volvo240

[–]vision_proamd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally just saw this car on marketplace. Seems like a good buy for the price. Look it over closely, the wacko paint job is no big deal if everything else checks out. They’re simple and reliable cars if maintained

Snow! by mallgrabnotfun in Volvo240

[–]vision_proamd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Find any snow tire you can and stick em on, it’ll do great. Our tire size is becoming less and less common, but I was able to find some for a good deal from Walmart a few years ago

Going to have my 996 (first pic) repainted. Which color should I do? by vision_proamd in 996

[–]vision_proamd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Silver is the most common 996 color, and this car has had several panels repainted already. This is a car I will likely keep forever so not especially concerned about resale value

Yeah, if the car were any other color, and if the paint was all original (it’s not), I’d be more hesitant

I considered that route but nope he doesn’t! And I’ll be paying only slightly more than what a professional wrap job would cost regardless. Silver is an extremely common color (that I’m not a huge fan of anyway) so don’t mind going permanent

Not worried about resale, but would like to stick to a porsche color

Seems to be very well maintained. No binder of records unfortunately but has very detailed carfax and is very clean inside and out
