How does Volvo drivetrain maintenance help save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

What are signs my Volvo drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Volvo 244? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Volvo 244 differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

Why is my 244 malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your 244 can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can you clear the 244 check engine light on your own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my 244?

If your 244 has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Does my 244 transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your 244’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your 244 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your 244's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1983 Volvo 244, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Volvo's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
