"But unfortunately I must inform you that my odometer quit
working again only after about 1000 km after the fix."
You did well - mine lasted exactly 44.6 kms!! I might try again and see if I can find why it slips.

finally had a chance to follow 360 gl's instructions, and what
do you know - it worked! The whole shaft carrying the numbers had slipped out of one side,
and the black drive gear no longer meshed on the worm screw which turned them. Lined it up,
pushed it back in and bingo! Now I know what my ...

Hi all,
has anyone tried a K&N pod type air filter (or other sports brand) on a 360? A few people
have suggested it to me, but a local volvo guy told me that the stock intake on a 360 is the
same as on a 240 turbo and therefore designed for hi flow. He suggested leaving it as is.
Anyone know if ...

More instrument troubles and I
haven't even attacked my faulty odometer yet! Yesterday my Speedo began to modulate at
around 60km/h - the needle wavers badly and indicates a speed somewhere between about
50 & 70 km/h! Unfortunately the police often check the lovely winding road to my house,
so ...

Thanks for that. I have had the instrument panel out before
chasing an intermittant fault in the dash lights (loose multiplug connector). I'll look and see if it
is just the mis-located gear (when I find some time!)
And BTW, you are right about the speedo cable bayonet connector breaking easily ...

Odometer (kilometre meter, in case it
doesn't translate well) on my 360 is broken, but the speedo still works. I found a site from the
US telling how to fix this problem on a 240 , but am unsure whether to speedo is the same on
the 360. And I am not keen to pull my dash apart to discover I can't ...

Hi VOLVOTECHCDN,
gas in my A/C system is definately r134a and some extra bits were added when it was
reconditioned, so I assume it has been done correctly. It does work ok usually, last time
though it was 40 degrees celsius outside sm2 and I suspect most systems would have
struggled a little. It ...

Well done Duvel78! And thanks for not forgetting us
non-francophones.
When I have done websearches on Volvo 360's all the good looking tech sites seem to be in
Dutch (?), which as a monolingual Australian leaves me lost.

Thanks everyone. I have managed to source the part from
Volvo Australia, it is being shipped up from Sydney tonight. Hopefully it will fix it, as in Julios'
case, because it sounds exactly the same problem. I will let you know when it is in (and
working?)
I did also manage to get a complete ...

think it was 134a? - the non-ozone depleting one anyways.
not sure whether it is expansion valve or orifice type - it seems to be either on or off, with a
vacuum operated flap on the fan box (?) to allow recirculation. Temp adjust is via the normal
sliding heater controls.
Can't say how good it ...

... I have seen on them air conditionning and I have never seen any 300 on the roads with
such equipment. Anyone has it??
I have airconditioning on my '86 360 GLT - I think it was standard fitment in Australia. The
owners manual has a supplement which shows the controls. The button for on and ...

I would say LHD... Because
I'm right-handed! sm48 sm61 And because I live in Europe... People in the UK or Australia
will probably think differently! :wink:
You're right, people in Australia do think differently! :lol: I had to drive left hand drive cars
when I lived in Canada (where they never ...

Hi all! My first post and I'd like to say -
What a great site! Even down under in Australia we have people who still enjoy Volvo 360's
(we didn't get the 340's here)
Question time - my '86 360 GLT is having troubles with the Renix electronic ignition system. It
failed to start one day, and after ...
