This is my 1984. y Volvo 340 GL 1.4L (4-door saloon).

Hi all, I have measured my power transmission and it really was not in line. But the problem was on the gearbox side. The gearbox shaft missed the clutch output shaft for about 3-4 cm. http://img356.imageshack.us/img356/6704/probvw9.th.jpg To solve this i drilled a new set of holes for the bolts tha...

I want to apologize if I sounded rough. I would never ever intentionally harm my little Volvo. I just bought the cheapest torque-wrench that I could find and measured my hand-tightening technique. And I was not so hard as I thought. It was about 40-41 Nm. And I think the cleavage on the clamps close...

Please excuse my bad English, but I am not sure if I correctly understand "everything is lined up" and "Line out your engine". :oops: Do you mean that my engine is not in line with my gearbox (in terms of a "geometric line")? I have read this thread http://www.volvo300mania.com/forum-uk/viewtopic.ph...

I had also often broken engine mountings. If I remember correctly, It was always in the same time as broken props. Maybe I have a bigger problem somewhere in my car that is responsible for all the broken props. I planed to invest some money in ma car in the near future. Now this makes me thoughtful....

I would definitely check how you are fitting them and that everything is lined up. I know that they are the weaker parts of the driveline but I haven't heard of someone destroying many under normal usage at standard power. I had always used props. Not new ones. I think I do everything correctly. I ...

What part of the props went? The rubber or the splines on the end? Was always the rubber. Had two times problems with loosing some splines (on the clutch output shaft), but that was just after a change of the prop. I think the mechanic did something wrong. I tightened the prop a little and had neve...

Line out your engine @ first...3 or 4 propshafts with normal usage should not be possible... That was in 80tkm and 12 years. She had sometimes to pull weighty trailer. (that was my father). In the near past I towed off some VWs of my friends to the next garage. And many curvy mountain roads here in...

How do you know its dying? cause it would be great to know what to listen out for, cause when mine went it left me stranded in the middle of no where and the AA took ages to find me. lol I saw a ring-formed breaking line on the rubber of the prop (on both sides). I look often for them, and I noted ...

Hi, My fourth (or was it the third one?? I have stopped counting after two) propshaft is actually dying :(. Now I am thinking of trying to build an uprated one. I have a good driveshaft lying around, and I was thinking of converting it to a propshaft. :idea: Is this a stupid idea? Can a driveshaft a...

Kesks roof is not a "genuine" accessory (or at least such a roof was never available in the UK market - in Bosnia, who knows). The origin of the car of which I have the sunroof is actually Austria. It was a 1987 Volvo 340 DL. I don't have more information. From what I saw at demounting the sunroof,...

I have one sunroof from a Volvo 340 that I purchased from a scrapyard, but this one does not look like genuine Volvo accessories. It can't slide, just tilt. Volvo also did glass sunroofs for the 300 http://www.volvo300mania.com/pictures/access89_12.jpg as a dealer-fitted option, maybe yours is an o...

Hi and thank you all, I'm driving the last 4-5 years without the automatic winter/summer regulation. I don't have the air-pipe from the manifold to the air-filter housing, and my carb did never ice. And the RC-9000 is placed directly on the carb, so the air should be heated a tad with the radiator. ...

Hi, I would like to get an optically and sound enhancement (I don't expect a power gain) with a cool rear silencer from Remus or Sebring (I would fit an universal one). But I'm worrying about the back-pressure. Would it be OK if I keep all the other exhaust parts and just replace the rear silencer? ...
