Re: Duchess The Volvo 340 CVT
Hello all to give you an update, the new gaskets were fitted, the cylinder pressures are 180 to 200 psi, however she is misfiring and running like a bag of nails.... With the help of James, Chris and Mac we have narrowed the issue down to the ignition system. turns out if you remove the vacuum line ...

Re: Restoration parts
evening.
You will be lucky to find a front valence, i sold my NOS one a little while ago.
There is a plan of making fiberglass ones, however it is time for me to get around to doing it (and to learn how to do it)
What wing are you after Mk1,2 or 3?
what else do you need?
Ben

Re: Opening the bonnet from outside
It can be opened by using a flat headed screwdriver and find the bit that sticks out with the spring attached and ouch it upwards.

Re: Duchess The Volvo 340 CVT
Few more bits to work on like the fitting the new roof gutters, if anyone has a good idea on how to fit these and get them to stick please tell me. Just wait until it is 20-25°C, the warmer the better (softens the gutters). I have never used any adhesive to keep them in place, but have instead used...

Re: Duchess The Volvo 340 CVT
I thought you were supposed to get the head skimmed before refitting it - I am mechanically quite ignorant so don't trust my advice, but its what I've heard several times in the past. Good luck anyway! It is good practice, but my head was perfectly smooth and flat, I did test it with a straight edg...

Re: Duchess The Volvo 340 CVT
I think that will be the issue - how clean was the mating surface when you fitted the new head gasket before? If it wasn't seeping out of the side of the gasket also I'd be checking liner height? But from them pics I'd say clean up the mating surface. Could it also be related to the head bolt torqu...

Re: Duchess The Volvo 340 CVT
Bugger! Are you going to use new bolts too just to rule them out? The fact water is in 3 of the cylinders AND down the side of the block and there's nothing wrong with the head gasket suggests a clamping/sealing issue? The head mating surface looks kinda contaminated/dirty? Agreed, the bolts are 10...

Re: Duchess The Volvo 340 CVT
Hello sorry for the quiet time on here, had a few problems to sort. 19/12/17 Had a squealing coming from the distributor so tried a 2nd new arm.... this broke, so found a spare distributor and fitted the whole unit on, new cap and all is great https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4758/25026100497_6818b3ef...

Re: My Volvo 340.
A bit of an update. Bought a new centre pipe as the economical repair didn't work. Ended up sleeving the front pipe to make it all work. No longer likes idling but that issue came suddenly and I believe it's down to the leads as it also loses power under load and the plug lead gave me an almighty j...
