Valves; Air Cleaner; Vacuum Fittings, Hoses And Connections; Timing Gear Belt - Volvo 740 GL Owner's Manual

1985 Volvo 740 GL, GLE, Turbo
manifold could alter air/fuel ratio and cause an increase in emissions and/or poor driveability.

Valves

The valve clearance should be checked and, if necessary, adjusted every 30,000 miles (50,000 km).

Air cleaner

Replace the air cleaner cartridge with a new one every 30,000 miles (50,000 km). The cartridge should
be replaced more often when driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The filter cannot be cleaned and,
therefore, should always be replaced with a new one.

Vacuum fittings, hoses and connections

Unstable idle, misfiring, or poor emission control is often caused by leaking vacuum hoses or
connections. Check hoses and connections on distributor vacuum unit, connections on heater control
servo systems and hydraulic brake servo.
Checking and adjusting idle speed
Your Volvo is equipped with an electronically-controlled idle speed system that requires no checking or
adjustment.
Fuel system cap, tank and lines, and connections
The effectiveness of the fuel system to contain hydrocarbons is dependent largely on a leak-free system.
Check for proper sealing of gasoline filler cap which contains "0" ring-type seals. Check all evaporative
hoses in vehicle for tightness. Check fuel lines under vehicle and repair if necessary.
Fuel (line) filter
The fuel filter is located next to the fuel pump. This filter is to be changed every 60,000 miles (100,000
km). The Filter is replaced as one complete unit. Replace more frequently if contaminated fuel is
introduced into the tank (or if there is reason to suspect that this has occurred).

Timing Gear Belt

The timing gear belt should be adjusted at the 600-1200 mile (1000-2000 km) inspection .We
recommend the belt be replaced every 45,000 miles (75,000 km).
