Purchasing '85 Volvo 740 GLE 2.4TD
I will receive my '85 740 2.4TD in February and just want to get educated on the site prior to its arrival.
I'm VERY familiar with the 1.6TD in my '85 Jetta. I love that era's IDI engine and despite some criticism in other forums I feel if they are properly maintained (oil change, injector nozzle replacement every 100,000, valve adj., injection pump leak fixing, etc.) they would go 1,000,000 miles. My 740 has 203,000 miles on it, drives very good right now, appears to have had the head rebuilt recently, no leaks on the injection pump and overall looks very clean. I will post photos in February once I receive the vehicle. Until then I'll keep studying this site. I'm glad it exists! One question to get started, what is the exact name of the service manual for this vehicle? It's referred to as the "green book" in the site, but what's it exactly, and where do I get one (or them)? J.D.
