1989 Volvo 244 Oil Pan Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to fit a lifting attachment to the lifting bracket at the thermostat housing and remove the left-hand engine mounting on the Oil Pan on 1989 Volvo 244?

  A: Fit a lifting attachment to the lifting bracket at the thermostat housing and take the weight of the engine without lifting it, then remove the left-hand engine mounting bolts, ensuring to first remove the compressor if the car has air-conditioning. Drain the engine oil, refit the plug after draining, and tighten it to a torque of 45 lb ft (6 kg m). Remove the guard plate under the engine, hoist the engine slightly, and take out the left-hand engine mounting. Next, remove the reinforcing bracket and the sump bolts, release the sump, turn it as shown, and take it out, also removing the gasket. For refitting, follow the reverse of the removal sequence, ensuring the joint faces are clean, always using a new gasket, and remember to refill with the specified engine oil.
