1989 Volvo 740 1989 VOLVO 740 Car care pg. 87 Car care Car care includes not only maintaining the appearance of the car, but also protecting the car exterior from the effects of air pollution, rain and mud. The rustproofing compound under the car should be checked regularly and, if necessary, damaged areas should be repaired. The paintwork should also be touched up immediately, if damaged, to prevent rust formation.
1989 Volvo 740 Corrosion will be accelerated in areas of higher relative humidity, especially where temperatures often stay above the freezing point and where the atmosphere is affected by industrial pollution, or where salt is used for de-icing the roads. Where parts of the car are covered with road dirt containing road salt, corrosion will be accelerated at lower relative humidity than if the surface were clean.
1989 Volvo 740 Parts of the car which may need to be touched up and the recommended rustproofing compound are: ● visible welded seams and panel seams-(thin) ● underbody and wheel housings-(thick) ● door hinges-(thin) ● hood hinges and locks-(thin). After completion of all work on the vehicle, remove excess rustproofing compound with a cloth soaked in kerosene. The sheet metal surfaces of the engine compartment are protected by a transparent wax-based rustproofing compound.
1989 Volvo 740 Minor stone chips and scratches Material: ● Primer - can ● Paint - can or touch-up ● Masking tape ● Brush If the stone chip has not penetrated down to the metal and an undamaged layer of paint remains, the touch-up paint can be applied as soon as the spot has been cleaned. If the stone chip has penetrated down to the metal, proceed as follows: 1. Place a strip of masking tape over the damaged surface. Pull the tape off so that any loose flakes of paint adhere to it.
1989 Volvo 740 When the primer surface is dry, the paint can be applied using a brush. Mix the paint thoroughly; apply several thin paint coats and let dry after each application. pg. 91 Paint touch-up 3 If there is a longer scratch, you may want to protect surrounding paint by masking it off.
1989 Volvo 740 WARNING! Spray painting should be done in a well ventilated and dust-free area. When the primer has dried, apply the surface enamel in the same way. Spray on several times and allow the paint to dry a minute or so between each application. ● pg. 92 Washing Washing the car The car should be washed at regular intervals since dirt, dust, insects and tar spots adhere to the paint and may cause damage. When washing the car, do not expose it to direct sunlight.
1989 Volvo 740 Special car washing detergent or household detergent can be used. A suitable mixture is about 2.5 fl. oz. (8.5 cl) of detergent to 2.6 US gal. (10 liters) of warm water. After washing with a detergent the car should be well rinsed with clean water. Bird droppings Remove from paintwork as soon as possible. Otherwise the finish may be permanently damaged.
1989 Volvo 740 Chromed parts Chromium-plated and anodized parts should be washed with clean water as soon as they become dirty. This is particularly important if you drive on gravel roads or on roads where salt is used during the winter. After the car has been washed, apply wax or an anti-rust preparation. Stains on chrome trim can be removed with commercially-available chrome cleaner. Do not use abrasive compounds or steel wool. pg.

1989 Volvo 740 Manual". This maintenance program contains inspections and services necessary for the proper function of your car over the next 5,000 miles (8,000 km). The maintenance inspections contain several checks which require special instruments and tools and therefore must be performed by a qualified technician. To keep your Volvo in top condition, specify time tested and proven Genuine Volvo Parts and Accessories.
1989 Volvo 740 2 Coolant level should be between the expansion tank marks. Mixture 50% anti-freeze and 50% water. 9 Battery-maintenance free type, it is only necessary to check the electrolyte level at each service. 8 Washer fluid reservoir should be filled with water and solvent (wintertime: windshield washer anti-freeze). Important! Change engine oil and oil filter at 5,000 mile (8,000 km) intervals. pg.
1989 Volvo 740 pg. 101 Engine Oil Checking the oil level The oil level should be checked each time you refuel. Be sure the oil level is maintained between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. Low oil level can cause internal damage to the engine and overfilling can result in high oil consumption. The distance between the dipstick marks represents approx. 1 US qt (1 liter) of oil. Draining the oil Drain the oil after driving while it is still hot. WARNING! The oil may be very hot.
1989 Volvo 740 Viscosity (stable ambient temperatures): SAE 15W/40 is recommended for use in driving conditions that raise oil temperature and increase oil consumption i.e., mountain driving, trailer towing. NOTE: SAE 15W/40 must not be used at low ambient temperatures; see viscosity chart. Volvo recommends the use of energy-conserving oils. When using these oils, the Volvo recommended oil-change intervals must be followed.
1989 Volvo 740 Air cleaner Replace the air cleaner cartridge with a new one every 30,000 miles (48,000 km). The cartridge should be replaced more often when driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The filter cannot be cleaned and, therefore, should always be replaced with a new one. Vacuum fittings, hoses and connections Unstable idle, misfiring, or poor emission control is often caused by leaking vacuum hoses or connections.
1989 Volvo 740 Lambda-sond (oxygen sensor) system This is an emission control system designed to reduce emissions and improve fuel economy. An oxygen sensor monitors the composition of the exhaust gases leaving the engine. The exhaust gas analysis is fed into an electronic unit which continually influences the injectors.
1989 Volvo 740 pg. 106 Servicing Evaporative control system The 740 is equipped with a gas-evaporative control system, which prevents gasoline fumes from being released into the atmosphere. The system is comprised of an expansion chamber in the fuel tank, a roll-over valve on the cross member in front of the fuel tank, and a charcoal canister with built-in vacuum valve under the left-front wheel housing.
1989 Volvo 740 The spark plugs should be changed every 30,000 miles (48,000 km). However, city driving or fast highway driving may necessitate changing after 15,000 miles (24,000 km) of driving. When installing new plugs, be sure to fit the right type and use correct torque, see "Specifications". When changing the plugs, check that the suppressor connectors are in good condition. Cracked or damaged connectors should be replaced.
1989 Volvo 740 WARNING! Oil spilled on a hot exhaust pipe constitutes a fire risk. A Cold transmission: oil temperature +105°F (+40°C). This is a normal temperature for the transmission after idling for about 10 minutes. At oil temperature below +105°F (+40°C), the level may be below the MIN mark. B Warm transmission: oil temperature +190°F (+90°C). This temperature is reached after driving for about 30 minutes. At oil temperature above +195°F (+90°C), the level may be above the MAX mark.
1989 Volvo 740 Fill coolant through the expansion tank. The heater controls should be fully open when draining and Filling. Add coolant until the level is up to the MAX mark or slightly above. Start engine and run until hot. Check the cooling system connections for tightness. Also re-check the coolant level. Capacity: See "Specifications" Coolant: Volvo coolant type C (blue green) Caution! The cooling system must always be kept filled to correct level.
1989 Volvo 740 To avoid rattles and unnecessary wear, the body should be lubricated a few times per year. pg. 112 Drive belt Checking the belt tension The belt tension can be checked by depressing the fan belt (engine not running!) at a point midway between the alternator and fan. It should be possible to press down the belt about l/4"-3/8" (5-10 mm). This also applies to other drive belts on the engine. Belt check Check the belts regularly to make sure they are in good condition and are clean.
