Which is the most reliable Volvo 240 or 740?
Most reliable Volvo 240 or 740, my vote is for the 1988 year and here is why: 700 1 No Self-Diagnostic system. (OBD-I is included on 1989 and later non-turbo cars, and 1990 and later turbos) 2 No Airbag. 3 No ABS on the 240 or 740 cars (optional on the 760 that year, standard on the 780).
What kind of fuel system does a Volvo 740 have?
1. Spare Main Fuel System Relay (white) that powers the ECU and the fuel pumps. (On the 1988-1990 760 Turbo cars, this relay is Green and not compatible with the standard white relay.) 2. Air Mass Meter (not applicable for the 740 cars with Bendix/Regina/Rex systems) 3. Fuel Pressure Regulator (average life is 100,000 to 150,000 miles).
What kind of ABS does a Volvo 240 have?

How long has the Volvo 240 been out of production?
Even though the 240 has been out of production for almost 17 years, it is still a popular car among Volvo enthusiasts and a favorite among our staff. Over the past 35 years since it was introduced, we have come to know quite a bit about the iconic model.
What kind of engine does a Volvo 240 have?
Improved K-Block engine in most if not all the 1988 and later cars (the first few off the assembly line may have missed it). The original 1985-87 B230 blocks are perfectly capable of long lives (I’m driving one now), but the 1988-1992 K-blocks received a much improved crankshaft with a better thrust bearing, and thicker connecting rods.
How often should I replace my Volvo 240?
Call for details. The 240 goes through engine and transmissions mounts on a regular basis! To prevent serious damage you’ll need to inspect them annually. Be prepared to replace them every 2-3 years depending on how hard you drive the car. The reason for the unusually short lifespan of these parts is due to the safety related design.
