1985 Volvo 244 Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Volvo's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Volvo 244? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your 244’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my 244's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Volvo 244 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Volvo. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Volvo 244? Yes, your Volvo 244 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your 244 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Where can I get my  Volvo 244 transmission fixed? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for 244 transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Is it okay to drive a 244 with a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your 244 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
