Installation instructions for Volvo 300 parts

Post by Duvel78 » 10 Oct 2004 08:14 pm

I have a project in my mind: a big database with installation instructions. I'm talking about the "magical" sheets into the blue Volvo boxes. If you have documents like that, please contact me so i can put that on the website, it can be very useful for everyone! Thanks!! (someone has that for the driving computer...)

Here's what i have for example:

Absolutely - that'd mean I could lower my car, but still pump it up when I want to put some weight in the back!

Chesh and myself have just been debating how to make it work with the injection engine...and we've figured it, although it means he wants to keep it now :(

Hi, you dont have a econometer in your 360??? I thought its something....normal:-) My volvo is really "uneconomical:-))", or we have expensive fuel:-) It takes 10l/100km . I think ill buy a gass drive(or how its in english).

The econometer was never standard (apart from on the 'blueline' special edition 340), but they were fairly commonly added as options.

The fuel computer is very very rare indeed!

James, any chance you can put a photocopy of the econo meter one in the box? or even better post it here for Duvel? I better make sure I cut the right hose before I put it in!
