Hi all i have a 81 604 with a holley carby and electronic ignition for sale if any one is interested regards Peter ..........
I guess there are few if any 604 s on the road now.
A wreckers tip for leaky power steering was
One 'cap' of brake fluid to 'swell' the seals.....worked for me.

Hi
Can anyone tell me if the Volvo fuel injected engine is the same as the fuel injected engine used in the 604. By the same, I mean the same fuel injection, same appearance with regards manifolds etc..

Bye the way do the 604's have a noisy ride???????????

Noise in a 604? Only from the old-fashioned diesel engine which was in my 604, and even that noise barely made it into the cabin!Noise? Not that I recall.
Old fashioned floaty/supple ride......they don’t make ‘em like that anymore.

You'll enjoy the sumptious leather seats, as long as the leather has been kept in reasonable to good condition. Find a good motor trimmer who can help with the stitching. That was the biggest bugbear I had with the seats in my 604. When the leather becomes hard in the hot Australian sun, the stitching can't stretch (is how it was put to me).
Many bits were available when I had my 604 - sold in 2006? - but don't try to find the plastic clips which hold in or help align the headlights. After I had close encounters with one too many a kangaroo, my then insurance company told me that the difficulty of finding certain parts, new or second hand, meant that they would no longer insure me. And they had me do most of the leg work. They and the smash repairer gave up after about 2 days, whilst the car was off the road for some 6 weeks with me chasing the needed parts.
