940 2.3Turbo Estate Auto box gone:(

Keebs67 · Jan 16th, 2010, 22:07

Folks, I have a Volvo 940 2.3 turbo Estate for sale. THE AUTO GEARBOX HAS GONE... It has Mot and tax

Good engine pulls well...It also has 3/4 tank of petrol!! (I filled it up to come from Cornwall but ended up coming home via the AA!

Its on an M plate does not have leather and Iv already had the alloys(Replaced wheels with Steelies with not bad tyres).

Its a Maroon/burgandy colour. Great car untill gearbox failed. The car is based in reading and I would prefer it all gone

£300 or a sensible offer...Feel free to call me for more details 07824375693

I might be interested in this for the engine, I've got access to a landy and car trailer but I'll need to see a chap about a place to keep it, watch this space.

Out of curiosity, how many miles has it done and is it LPT or HPT?

Might not be an expensive fix at the right place. My mum had a 240 and had the auto box replaced all in for less than £300, might be worth doing if it's a good car!

BTW it was a Volvo specialist near Blackpool, Jump Leads.

Hi Wooble, its done 136K miles..so just run in!! I had the gearbox services as it was slipping...ie taking along time to get into gear. Unfortunatly that did not cure the problem and I think the cornwall trip killed it...9Lots of small lanes and fully loaded with the family!!
Im not sure what LPT & HPT means! sorry...

i did think about this...alas \I need a car straight away so I ended up with an Espace...Not a patch on the Volvo...

LPT/HPT = low or high pressure turbo. I'm not 100% on engine codes but I think that a an LPT engine has the engine code B230FK on the timing belt cover and an HPT has the code B230FT.

I'm going to see a chap I know about storing it on his farm on monday, so if nobody else has laid claim by them I'll be back with a yea or nay answer.

HPT if its got a turbo guage on the dash, LPT if it doesn't have that

wooble · Jan 19th, 2010, 20:04

Right, I've got storage sorted out - can't get the landy and trailer though, so I'll have to come and see it and then arrange transportation through a company if the car fits my needs, I'll give you a ring tomorrow somethie to set stuff up.

i have an auto box in the 855 is it the same...........????????? sussex

Really I have no idea exactly what box is in the 940, my intention was to use the engine as a base for my upcoming 16v turbo project in my 240 and part out the rest, I'll have a look at the box and see if it can be fixed to turn a quick profit selling it but I'll not know any more till I see it.

Don't think the 850 box would work though due to it being FWD.
