Looking into 2.5d or 200tdi in my series

"Do not urinate into the urea tank!". I'm dead-serious! Hahaha!!!!

I wonder if there was a translation expert on hand when they came up with that warning.

It was no wonder why the Nova had poor sales in Latin America. This being the other end of the translation fails in the automotive world.

hey man i can't believe the guy swapped out the tranny too. I agree about the 4cyl petrol engines lasting forever, the p1800 had pet. I had a '82 240 turbo. it was the only engine i have ever seen that is as easy to work on as a 2.25. Do you have any clue how the guy hooked up the transfer case? Not really sure but the old 240gl only had like 120hp and 0 troque. The turbo had 153hp or so. i really doubt i would ever swap a volvo but its a cool thought.

I think it was the M46 transmission he used- I can't remember really but it wasn't a bad choice IMHO. (The gearbox is reportably good for near 220 hp levels with a torque load of 220-295 ft.lb (300-400 Nm). The tranny ratios are pretty good for a LR too.

I had a 1983 Volvo 240 that went for well over 300,000 miles with nothing done to it other than timing belt changes, one could do far worse for a nice little 4 cylinder gasoline engine swap.

I might have the fellow's email somewhere if anyone wants it- I'd have to dig a bit for it though. He used to post on here IIRC- it might have been on the old RN forum though.
