Hi all,
I'm sadly selling my Volvo 940 diesel estate.
It runs absolutely perfectly and over the last year has had a full overhaul.
I had the head off while doing the timing belts and water pump, inside was like new and the bottom end seemed to have no wear to the bores at all.
With the way I am I striped the head and serviced it as a matter of course. After reading about the head gaskets on this engine I opted for a L-ring multi layer steel gasket and Victor Reins head bolts. I Also fitted a full set of new injectors and changed all the glow plugs. Needless to say it starts on the button hot or cold with no smoke at all.
New oil in the engine and auto box and all filters replaced.
The car it's self drives lovely however has been my work horse and has a few dents and scratches not bad for a 24 year old volvo though. I am in the U.K
I have spent nearly a £1000 doing the bits and pieces, the injectors were not cheap. I would be happy to get somewhere near that for the whole car. I have enjoyed owning and repairing her however a new project has arrived and it's time for her to go.
