New to Volvo with a 1993 440 GL

cooyal · Dec 11th, 2012, 21:11

Hi all. This is my first Volvo I've ever owned. It's a 1993 440 GL hatchback with 150,000 kilometres and cost $1,600 AUD. Its a lovely car to drive and is economical. I reckon it has the power of a 6 and economy of a 4. Trouble I am having is it came with no user manual. Could anyone tell me where the inside recirc button for the A/C is. Is it in or out? Been looking for a manual but can't seem to get one. Also support seems limited in oz as they never sold many apparently. So if anybody knows any sites for parts for this model (either in oz or anywhere) and specs I can get it would be appreceated. Looking forward to a few replies and advice when needed. Cheers all...

Welcome, sadly these cars aren't very popular anywhere so there are no specialists places for parts that I've found. The best place I find for bits is ebay.co.uk .

What did you come from to think a 440 is powerful lol

Is the unit you have just a slider for the temperature and a selection of push buttons below? If so and like the 480 it should be the button on the far right saying REC next to the OFF button.

I've used Parts For Volvos in the UK for a lot of parts (http://www.partsforvolvosonline.com/default.php). They will dispatch worldwide, but I don't know what costs would be like outside the UK

They know their stuff too. Mine is number 5 off the 1991 production run and still uses some parts from the 1990 run and these guys get things right when I ask if it's not obvious from the web site
