- TME Sport Springs (Car is lower than factory and looks fantastic)
- Seriously awesome IPD Heavy Duty Aluminum Skid Plate made for the Volvo 240
- IPD adjustable panhard rod
- Thicker 242 GT (performance coupe) front (21mm) and rear (23mm) anti-sway bars for less body lean in the corners

- Optional Volvo headrest pads for all 4 seats
- Volvo rear sunshade
- Volvo heavy duty floor trays
- New map pockets recently
- Hella Fog Lights mounted below the front bumper
- Tinted side and rear glass
- Car includes an alarm system with keyless remotes, but always seemed too sensitive, so we turned off the hidden kill switch. It's new buyer can switch it back on and mess with the sensitivity :)
- Also includes a hard-to-find Thule "rain gutter clamp style" rooftop Bike rack, with front wind break.
- Includes a really cool purple valve cover on the engine. Your mechanic will love it. :)
- We JUST replaced the battery. Texas weather is brutal on batteries. The old one let go last month.
- The driver seat grid and/or lower seat foam is failing. This is actually a VERY common issue on the 240's. The upholstery is fine, but the outside of the lower cushion is "leaning" a little because the cushion foam is dried out. There is a company called Wagonmeister dot com that has an excellent (better than OEM) fix for the cushion and grid issue.
- The A/C was working last summer, but has stopped working recently. All the fans blow, and the switch seems to work, but the compressor clutch doesn't seem to switch on. I'll have our mechanic look at it next week to determine the cause. If it's something stupid like a wire, relay or fuse - I will get it fixed. One of the lines going into the firewall is pinched (it's highlighted in one of the photos), but it was that way last year and still worked fine (abet slightly less than a perfectly working AC).
- The power window switches on the driver's door are working fine, but the driver's side window switch recently "dropped" a little in the array. It still works, but should probably be changed soon. I'm sure it's a cheap fix.
- The factory Volvo cruise control is not currently working, but this sale DOES include the part (new stalk/switches) to get it working again.
- There is a small crack in the dash, where the instrument "cover" meets the flat part of the dash. We've always has a dash cover on it (included) so didn't even notice the small crack until we photographed it for this sale. The rest of the interior is in remarkable condition of any car, much less a 200k survivor!

Volvo specs new 450-hp triple-charged four-cylinder engine
Tue, 07 Oct 2014When Volvo lifted the veil on the new XC90 a little over a month ago, it announced that all versions would be powered by one engine design: a new 2.0-liter four-cylinder to be offered in various states of tune. That would range, Volvo said, all the way up to a high-output version with "around 400 horsepower," but while it wouldn't specify exact output, now it has.
The new High Performance Drive-E Powertrain incorporates two parallel turbochargers fed by a third electric turbo-compressor. Instead of feeding the cylinders directly, that third unit spools up the twin turbochargers, working together with a dual fuel pump pressurized to 250 bar.
The result is an output of 450 horsepower - far more than the existing 320-hp version and even more than expected. That also works out to 225 hp/liter, far more than the 177 hp/liter boasted by Mercedes-AMG's high-output turbo four and the 139 hp/liter in the Alfa Romeo 4C. Short of a rotary engine (whose actual displacement is the subject of great debate), you'd have to go up to something like the Koenigsegg One:1 (268 hp/liter) to find a higher specific output than what Volvo's boasting here.
Volvo and Ericsson to take Spotify on the road
Thu, 27 Dec 2012Volvo is working to bring Spotify to its vehicles. Ericsson has announced it will provide its Connected Vehicle Cloud service to Volvo for future products, and Spotify streaming music is part of that service. Like Toyota Entune and other infotainment services, the Connected Vehicle Cloud will use the driver's smartphone as a modem to stream music and serve as a base for other applications, all of which will be controllable through the vehicle interface. Expect to see the service launch in 2014, though Ericsson stresses later generations will feature an embedded modem with its own SIM card that will piggyback off of the owner's phone data plan.
But that system won't show up in production vehicles until at least 2016. In the interim, Ericsson says it will continue to work with government agencies on its car-to-car communication efforts. That program could eventually help pave the way toward autonomous road trains capable of helping vehicles travel safely together while also reducing traffic congestion. Wired has a full break down of the Connected Vehicle Cloud strategy. You can read it here.
Volvo calls in S60 T5 over oil pressure indicator
Mon, 30 Dec 2013As anyone with a driver's license should be able to tell you, the oil pressure indicator on a car is a vital feature. If you don't have enough oil pressure, your engine could seize up, leaving you stranded and causing catastrophic damage for both your automobile and your wallet. Worryingly, then, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that the oil pressure indicator lamp on certain Volvo S60 models is prone to failure, prompting the manufacturer to issue a recall.
The issue pertains to MY2011-2012 Volvo S60s with turbocharged five-cylinder engines manufactured between June 22, 2010 and May 14, 2012. All told, precisely 30,929 units are affected by the recall campaign. The owners of affected models will be notified by Volvo to bring in their cars to their local dealer for a software update. See the official notice below for details.
