Directional Signals Out!

[trmcgeehan]

I have a '93 240 wagon with 223,000 miles on it. Great car! The directional signals recently went out, and I bought a new directional flasher unit from my Volvo dealer, who is 75 miles away. Cost me $35. I took the flasher unit to my local mechanic, but he said I also need an emergency flasher unit, which activates the directionals. So probably I didn't need a directional unit after all?
Another 240 question: My wagon has 2 fuel pumps -- one in the tank, and one under the car, between the tank and engine. One (or both) went out recently. The Volvo dealer said if I was going to keep the car (which I am), I needed to replace both pumps. So I did, and $700 later, my old Volvo runs like new! Even after 233,000 miles, all four cylinders pump 165 pounds. New, I believe it was 175 pounds.
One more thing: if you want to see alot of 240's still running, go to Washington, DC. I was there recently, and there are a ton of 240's still running there. Tom McGeehan, Somerset, KY.
