Volvo 200 Series workshop manuals

Volvo 200 Series at a glance: 9 manuals, covering 1982 to 1993 models, with engines from 2.1 to 2.8 litres.

About the 200 Series

The 240 and 260 were made from 1974 to 1993, developed from the 140 Series with safety ideas from Volvo's VESC experimental safety car. More than 2.8 million were built as saloons, estates and a few convertibles, and they established Volvo's reputation for safety and durability. The 260 ended in 1984, but the 240 continued until 14 May 1993.

What these manuals cover

  • 1982–1984: the 2.1-litre four with or without a turbo, the 2.3-litre four, the 2.4 diesel (a Volkswagen design) and the 260's 2.8-litre V6.
  • 1986–1993: the 2.3-litre B230F four.

Tip: the 2.3-litre B230 four is also used in the 740 and 940.
