-------------------------------------------- 1989 VOLVO 740 TURBO CONDITION: EXCELLENT BODY AND INTERIOR. ENGINE STARTS AND RUNS VERY WELL. DOES NOT LEAK, RUNS AT NORMAL TEMP. RECONDITIONED TURBO INSTALLED APPROX 1200 MILES AGO. HAS BEEN A DAILY DRIVER FOR THE PAST YEAR. TOP END ENGINE REBUILD APPROX 1200 MILES AGO. PROS: STRONG AND DRIVES WELL. NEW TIRES 1000 MILES AGO, COMES WITH 4 STUDDED TIRES AS WELL. INTERIOR IS VERY NICE. ALL GAUGES WORK AS THE SHOULD (EXCEPT TURBO- WHICH HAS BEN DISABLED FOR NEW GAUGE) RADIO WORKS WELL POWER DOOR LOCKS AND POWER WINDOWS HEATER WORKS WELL, AC NEEDS CHARGING CLEAR TITLE WONT FIND ANOTHER TURBO FOR THIS PRICE!!! CONS: I THINK THERE MAY BE A VACUUM LEAK SOMEWHERE. WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD ESPECIALLY, WHILE IDLING AND ALSO WHILE DRIVING A BIT WILL SURGE AND THE VACUUM GAUGE PULSES WITH IT. I HAVE REPLACED A FEW HOSES BUT CANT SEEM TO FIND THE LEAK. IT WILL SETTLE ITSELF AND IDLES AND DRIVES VERY NICELY. BUT, WILL SURGE AT TIMES MAKING DRIVING A BIT ANNOYING ESPECIALLY IF YOU REALLY GET ON THE GAS AND TURBO. I WOULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR LONG DISTANCES UNTIL ITS LOOKED AT OR FIXED BUT I AM FAIRLY POSITIVE THAT THE VACUUM LEAK IS THE CULPRIT DUE TO THE PULSING OF THE VACUUM GAUGE ALONG WITH THE ENGINE. OTHER THAN THAT THE ENGINE RUNS STRONG, COOL AND NO LEAKS. EXHAUST- NEEDS MIDDLE SECTION OF EXHAUST. CURRENTLY A FLEX-HOSE IS INSTALLED BETWEEN THE MANIFOLD AND MAIN PIPE. CAT HAS BEEN REMOVED FOR A FREE-FLOW EXHAUST. PASSENGER SIDE REAR TRIANGLE WINDOW IS SPIDERED( DOES NOT AFFECT THE MAIN REAR WINDOW ROLLING DOWN) BUYER RESPONSIBLE FOR SHIPPING COSTS AND ARRANGING SHIPPING CAR IS LOCATED IN COLORADO SPRINGS CO. 80924
