Gasoline Smell

Was wondering why my Car smells so much like Gas

Found out why today

That thing is COOKED

Also little update on my Back axle

Got it painted a nice Blue

Fucked up some Parts when i tried changing the Bushings but nothing a little Money can't fix eh

What's this

Hello fellow Volvo enjoyers

I'm changing all the Bushings of the Back axle right now and I've come across this Spring(second Pic)

Does anyone know if something supposed to be attached to it or was that from a Mod the Previous Owner might have added and removed

Thanks for the Help

Also I'm gonna Paint the Axle in Dark blue

Y'all think that subtle Gold or Bronze highlights will Look Good?

I'm thinking Brake lines / Saddles and MAYBE Screws

(3rd Pic is with Gold Spray paint)

Shifting issue

Ok so tbh this is about a 744 but trans and stuff are pretty much the same

After resealing it doesn't shift into first 3rd and Reverse anymore

Could the reason be that we put the shifting link that I marked in the picture the wrong way or could there be any other reasons?

Thanks for the help

Manual 744 doesn't shift

So we've taken out my Brother's M46 Transmission and did a reseal

Tested all the gears before putting it back in, worked there

Now that we've put the trans back in it does not shift into reverse, first and 3rd

What could we have put together wrong that it doesn't wanna shift

Reverse doesn't do anything at all

When you shift it into first or 3rd and then let of the clutch it just Grinds the gears

Thanks for the help

Volvo 240 Sounds

I'm on a Roadtrip in Sweden right now

I've done 2200km until now and the Car is starting to make some Sounds

When I accelerate Hard it makes a Clunking Noise

I think it's a Bushing that didn't like me Driving 1000km in one day but I'm not Sure

Also when I drive Backwards for like 10-20 Meters and the go Forward the Handbrake also Clunks

When I then Pull it a little while driving it Clunks once and then it's Good again

But I'm more Worried about the Clunking when acceleration happens

Mostly When changing Gears

im guessing ist the ones that Hold the Back axle

Can't really get a good look Right now

To Low because of all the Weight

Would you keep Driving or should I go to a Shop asap

Maybe there are Swedish Ppl here that can Help too :D

Transmission Fill Plug

What's the easiest way to remove the Fill plug from the Transmission

It's already stripped from trying

&#x200B;

We may remove the trans to reseal it but gotta at least fill it back up to move it awhile

So my Cooler started leaking

I don't think it's fixable right?
