Please read all of the description than submit any questions....its amazing how many questions i get when the answer is in the paragraphs below. Okay so here's the deal with this car.... I bought this car locally and the guy i bought it from said it had a "stuck" brake caliper. After taking it for a test drive and seeing that the car was indeed in need of some brake work i purchased it and trailered it home. I loaded onto my lift and found out it also had a need for exhaust work as well. I replaced the exhaust system from the cat converter all the way back to tailpipe...SO THE CAR HAS ALL NEW EXHAUST.... I then proceeded to fix the "stuck" caliper only to find out that both front rotors and calipers were shot and needed replacing as well as the brake pads. So i did just that. replaced everything down there including the rubber brake lines. SO THE CAR HAS ALL NEW PADS, ROTORS, CALIPERS, AND RUBBER BRAKE LINES. Put everything back together and proceeded to bleed the brakes...and then i did it again,,,and again...and again..no brakes. HMMMM???? Master cylinder is bad i guess....went through two of those and still nothing. Even took it to tire kingdom to get it power bled. (by the way what a bunch ignorant as***** ) still nothing. SO THE CAR HAS A NEW BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER. I went a step further shelled out another 85 bucks and bought a brand new Brake Booster because i could here a slight hissing sound as i stepped on the brake. Installed that and still got nothing. Discouraged i parked the car and didn't touch it for six month except to go start it and drive it up and down the road once a week to keep the fluids moving around. Parking brake works good. Yesterday I went out determined to finally beat this car at its game....battery was dead...okay jumped it and charged it....shut the car off and tried to start it again....nothing but a clicking sound under the glove box...(relay... coming from the big white one under there. I believe its ignition relay?) Anyway.... I'm Stumped about the brakes... This car DOES have ABS and a was only hoping it was not related. (by the way before i hear any suggestion or questions...yes i did check the ABS fuse under the front passenger seat. It is fine) If you look at the car you would say "why is he putting so much time and money into this piece of crap?" But if your looking or know anything about Volvo 240's you know that the money and time is a small price to pay for these 300K mile car. THEY ARE FREAKING AWESOME!!!!! and so safe. The mileage is correct just under 114K.... Nothing..... this thing is still a baby. Clear SC Title It has body rust issues (see pics)...nothing that i couldn't fix especially cause there is no frame rust. It has a small oil leak that i just discovered the other day. maybe real main seal i dont know The driver door is crinkled, tree side swiped maybe?....got a good white one out of a junk yard that will come with the sale of the car. Now, the engine runs GREAT...sixty seventy miles an hour down the highway no prob. and the car shifts fine and has plenty of power. And with the new exhaust it is quieter than my wife's new mini van. Interior is awesome, dirty but in great shape. blue leather....not my favorite but it is in fantastic shape... the dash (which is usually the first thing to go) is still black as ever and only has one small crack in it. (see Pics) The seats are GREAT.. the driver seat is cracked but that is it...When I purchased the car the map pockets on the doors where pristine condition until the mechanic at tire Kingdom was kind enough to push my door open with his clumsy fat size 13 boot and broke the driver side map pocket...I have all the pieces after scrounging around for them on his garage floor (he said they it was broken when he started working on the car...BS that is why all the pieces where all over his garage floor....idiot...can't reason with stupid....anyways it can be repaired with a little fiberglass backing... I've done it before on previous 240's that I've owned. I am selling this car on eBay because i tried to sell it locally but the local demographic apparently don't appreciate the gas saving and general economical aspects of these cars. I'm from New England and every other car up there is a 240. But down here they just want to crush cars. And this car will not be crushed for F****ing scrap metal. I want to make it clear this car is a project car that will need some love. The brakes are probably something simple however i am so frustrated with the time and money that i can't afford mentally and financially to keep the car. If you wanted to fix this car up than awesome but it would also make probably the best parts car in the world though. Help me save one more 240 from the perilous jaws of a car crusher.
