Can Volvos get engine sludge?

Yes, regular oil changes really ARE important! If you’re driving around with old motor oil, the broken-down fluid (and resulting debris) isn’t protecting your engine parts. In fact, it may even be causing slow damage to your Volvo 244’s engine! Routine oil changes may seem like an insignificant maintenance task, but trust us – your future self will thank you.

Is Volvo's recommended maintenance really that important?

One of your best defenses against paying for repair services is following Volvo's recommended maintenance schedule for 1986 244s. Volvo built your vehicle and can best anticipate when something will need to be serviced or replaced.

What should I tell the technician when I bring my Volvo to the shop?

No one likes having to get repair service on their trusty Volvo 244, but you can help minimize the hassle. As soon as you notice something that doesn’t seem right in your vehicle, make a note of the date and what happens (and write it down so you don’t forget!). Are there new noises coming from the engine? Does something smell funny in your A/C vents? The more information you can give to your technician, the better! We’ll be able to find the root of the problem quickly and address it before it gets any worse.

Volvo 244 Radiator Repair Service

The radiator is an important piece of your vehicle’s cooling system. It ensures that your engine stays within an optimal temperature range while it’s running.

Radiator repair is essential for long-term engine health, and you should replace the coolant/antifreeze in your 1986 Volvo 244 at the intervals recommended by Volvo. Not sure what signs could indicate a faulty radiator? An abnormally high engine temperature, low coolant light on your dashboard, or coolant leaks below your car could all signify that you need radiator repair.
