Hi -
I just bought an '88 Volvo 240 DL Wagon. New to the Volvo world. I really like the car, but am starting to worry that I bought a lemon.
My main worry is that sometimes it makes a strange noise. It starts with a sound like when you have a flat tire - sort of a flapping sound. But it has nothing to do with the tires, it just sounds similar. That is followed by a grinding sound, that you can actually feel the vibration through the floor board. Nice, huh? So far it has only happened in the rain - but then I have only had it a few weeks and it has been raining off and on. Also, it seems to happen during acceleration. As a test, in the rain, I pressed the overdive button and it truggered the weirdness.
Any ideas?
Lori
