Customer Review: In response to "A reader from San Diego, California"s review
Actually, reader, there is no such thing as a "240 proper." This may be the source of your trouble. The cover of the book lists 242s, 244s, and 245s. Think you don't have one of these? Try counting the doors on your 240. If you have two doors, that's a 242, four doors is a 244 and a 5 door wagon is a 245. Volvo named all of their models by series, cylinder, and number of doors, thus a 262 is a two-hundred series (like the 240) with a six cylinder engine and two doors. I do not own this book so i cannot fairly review it, but it seems like the biggest problem you had with it is due to your own fault.
Customer Review: Total Satisfaction
Gee, I had no idea that "good" condition meant "new" condition. The Volvo Chilton's Manual 1970-89, 1996 edition is very cool. Just opening the cover has proven to be worth the money spent, and I plan to use it to 'tinker' on our project car until it purrs. Yes, even gals enjoy showing their spouse an easier way to fix things - the right way! Click for more car care details ...
