When did the Volvo 240 GLT come out?
Until 1983, vehicle badges reflected the 242, 244, and 245 internal designations, but afterwards Volvo moved to a generalized 240 appellation followed by the lettered trim level (i.e. 240 DL or 240 GLT). The two-door model expired in 1984.

When was the last year the Volvo 260 was made?
The 260 was available until 1982 when it was officially replaced by the Volvo 700 series (although the 265 wagon would linger for a few years after that).

It commonly fails in the open position allowing super heated air to be drawn into the engine, which reduces performance as well as dramatically shortening the life of the expensive air mass meter.
