u2slow 04-30-2005, 01:01 PM Anyone have info on 80's Volvo diesels wagons? (thinking 240 or 740 style). My 2wd Suburban is way overkill for commuting. Looking mainly to get into something with a manual transmission and improved MPG while staying RWD. dozerboy 04-30-2005, 04:38 PM PM Mannytranny he had one and there are a few other that did to lookHERE (http://dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31002]HERE) mannytranny 05-01-2005, 11:39 PM hohoho I just got the TB and waterpump fixed on it......The thing has a TB in the front, and one in the back for the IP. Tough stuff to service. Expensive too. They do not have a good service history. Mine seems to be a good one, but they just dont have a good reputation. They are gross polluters, and they arent overly efficient. 30 mpg at best...... Ide say go for a late 90's VW passat wagon. Much better car. u2slow 05-06-2005, 12:11 AM They are gross polluters, and they arent overly efficient. 30 mpg at best...... That sounds super! I get 15mpg at best with my 6.2L Burb. I like RWD, and grew up with a 122S in the family - hence my interest in the Volvo - and the price (vs. Passat). Isn't the Volvo diesel a 6 cyl version of VW's engine? OTOH, a 4dr Golf w/diesel might do also. Just starting to gather information now... the Ford will need a clutch/DMF first.:( | ||
