Hi,

Novice mechanic here and so apologies in advance for the lack of knowledge.....I am on a massive learning curve!!!!

I have a 1988 Volvo 240 GL with a B200E engine, which has not run for a number of years. I need to source many service parts before I turn it over (not to mention the cambelt!) and have entered my car details onto various site to buy what I need; however, parts that currently need replacing on my car like the cradle bracket to hold the fuel filter are coming up as not compatible when it clearly is the part I need. Also, the recommended drive belts between the alternator/steering and water pumps/crankshaft are different to the ones I currently have on the car (which are 2 of 910x10 and 1 of 935x10).

Has anyone else experienced this problem? I note that the B200E engine is listed for cars from 1985-1986 whereas mine is a 1988 machine, so would these sort of issues just be data glitches on after market websites???

Any guidance or knowledge would be most appreciated!!!

Many thanks.

Charles.
