    Volvo Volvo Advice Volvo 360 Volvo 360 Advice Volvo 360 1984
    I HAVE bought a 1984 Volvo 360 GLT with a 2.0-litre fuel-injected engine and five-speed manual gearbox. It has done 168,000km, the body is in good condition and the engine seems to run well. My only complaint is that it seems a little heavy on petrol. Can you give me some information about this car? I'd also like your advice on which fuel to use with the demise of LRP.

    GENERALLY the 360 is a reliable car that gives little trouble, but fuel consumption can be high. Volvo specialist John Johnson says he's tried just about everything he knows to improve mileage . . . without success. Potential trouble areas are the electrics, and the trim can give niggly problems. Use regular unleaded because the 360's engine has hardened valve seats.
