I need to replace the alternator belt on a 1994 Volvo 940T, but can't get the A/C belt off so I can remove the alternator belt. Apparently there's an adjustment bolt on the compressor that I can't see.

Hi,
Unscrew the idle pulley first.
Look for a small pulley where the a/c belt passes through. That is the idle pulley, the screw on the bracket of that idle is on the top side where you could adjust to loosen the tension of the belt. Before loosening it, loosen the bolt on the front of idle pulley.
Hope FixYa helps you out!

1994 Volvo 940T Speedometer Works Intermittently

If the speedometer and odometer are not working the problem is usually lack of signal from the transmission speed sensor.
But if the cruise control works and the speedometer does not, my guess would be a problem inside the cluster.

I have 1992 Volvo 940 turbo 4cyl . I need advice on how to change my alternator belt

Underneath the alternator facing forward is a 13 mm nut which locks the alternator in place, slacken this off and the two nuts/bolts where the alternator pivots.From the left side of the car there is a 10 mm bolt which is the tensioner, slacken this untill the alternator can be moved towards the engine sufficiently to remove the belt .Reverse this procedure to replace the belt. (depending on drives to other items you may have to remove their belts as well)

Belt pattern for 1994 850

Hmm, well that would really depend on which belt you got. I would start at the crank, go counter clock wise to the a/c pulley, up to the alternator, then to the idler, next power steering, and back to the crank under the tensioner, there was a longer belt introduced later, and IF you have that belt, same counter clockwise rotation, start at crank, go to a/c compressor, Idler pulley, alternator, power steering, then back to the crank, under the tensioner

Need help wit belt 1194 940 volvo!

It is possible you are looking at the page for the 1994 960 and not the 940. The 960 had one (serpentine) belt. Your 940 has three. Hopefully chiltons has the repair order for the 940s as well.

I know it's not alot, but I hope it helps
