Picture Update
Thought it was time to update the orange pic that has been up for months with something that was a little easier on the eyes. Nfjb (talk) 06:10, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
- Nope. This is not a calendar, it's an encyclopædia. As such, we do not change images because they've been "up for months", and we don't change them because you happen not to like a high-quality image. The black-car-on-grey-background image you put in is of lower contrast and poorer quality than the image you removed (which has been reinstated). Moreover, the image you put in shows a non-stock vehicle. The modification is minor, to be sure—the park/turn signal lenses are the European type installed on an American-market car—but in the lead infobox, a completely stock vehicle is most appropriate. Please review the relevant standards and guidelines for images in automotive articles. —Scheinwerfermann T·C00:12, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
Updated North American Specs.
Just added in some new specs on vehicles solid and assembled in Canada. Nfjb (talk) 09:10, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
- Nfjb, you have been asked before—and now I am asking you again—to understand that the standard for inclusion of a piece of information on Wikipedia is not what we know (or think we know, or think we remember hearing, or seem to recall reading, or heard from a friend, or believe), it is what we can prove. The text you added read:
- In Canada, various market specific domestic parts were also added at the Volvo Halifax Assembly. Such parts included standard block heaters, and code specific halogen headlights for vehicles solid in provinces like Ontario, Alberta and New Brunswick (Canadian market only)
- You provided no reliable support for the block heater assertion—Sweden's cold, too; how do you know block heaters weren't factory-installed there on Volvo 200s destined for Canada? And you used the plural, so what other "market specific domestic parts" were added? Also, your claim about "code specific halogen headlights" for various specific provinces is unsupportable; there are no such province-specific headlamp specifications; headlamp specification is done at the Federal level in Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 108 and 108.1. And your "(Canadian market only)" text makes no sense where it was placed. I have cleaned up after you (again), but it would be nicer if you would edit properly in the first place rather than leaving messes for others to clean up. —Scheinwerfermann T·C00:19, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
Volvo Kalmar Assembly
Just added in the link for Volvo Kalmar Assembly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nfjb (talk • contribs) 02:25, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
Adding some citations
Coudln't figure out how to add multiple citations. Sorry for the multiple changes. All is well now. Nfjb (talk) 09:35, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
late malaysian production
i can´t find any evidence at all about malaysia producing the 240 after 93 (actually i´m having a hard time finding any reference to malaysian production at all.) unless someone can come up with some reliable proof that the 240 did continue past 1993 i´m going to change the production date of malaysia accordingly - it´s starting th influence the web when ppl come here and see that the 240 was apparently produced past 93...--Lotsofmagnets (talk) 11:48, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Merge 262C
I don't see why the Volvo 262C needs a standalone article. The 262C doesn't seem notable enough for such a split, therefore I think it should be merged into the 200 series article.--Kevjgav (talk) 11:45, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
M46 Transmission
Currently the M46 transmission has a cross-link to a nonexistent page.
It was a four-speed + external overdrive unit.
The underlying transmission design used a Laycock de Normanville Overdrive, which is/was an electrically triggered (Volvo 240 had a square "OD" button on the top-face of the gearshift lever), hydraulic actuated cone-clutch + planetary gear-set. -- http://www.spannerhead.com/2011/10/29/technical-curiositiesthe-laycock-de-normanville-overdrive/ including subsequent comments on that page.
