Volvo repair manuals

I'm looking for a good and detailed repair manual for my 1989 Volvo
Turbo 760. Although pretty much any and every device available for
sale these days comes with a digital manual, usually in Adobe Reader
format (PDF) provided online by the manufacturer, Volvo manuals seem
to be conspicuously lacking.

Or am I wrong and just haven't found the right link on the Web yet
where all those Volvo manuals hide? Alternatively a printed manual
would be o.k., if you can recommend one.

Thanks for your help.

P.S.: My above question came up since I have to deal with a repair
issue posted earlier on this list here:

On the contrary, while you can usually find operation manuals online, it's
getting harder and harder to find *service* information for anything these
days. Electronics used to come with schematics but it's been a long time
since I've seen that on a consumer level. I'm not aware of any car makers
that supply free service literature but correct me if I'm wrong.

You can buy the green Volvo shop manuals, not sure if one for a car that old
is still in print but they turn up on ebay occasionally. You could also get
a Haynes manual, they work ok for most things.

Looking at that other post now, if you look at the bottom of the panel, I
believe it screws into the pocket and you can pop it out, the manual seat
cars just have an empty storage pocket there.

 

Look into Ebay to buy a VADIS DVD, which covers a lot of Volvos. Haynes manuals,
as already suggested, also useful.

I popped the switchbox out alright, but then it's connected to the
seat as shown in the photographs of the other post.
So, back to square one, how to take the seats out, for which having a
manual to consult would be helpful.

That's easy, there's four bolts, one at each corner. In the front you have
to remove a screw to take part of the cover trim off, in the rear the bolt
covers just clip on. You remove all four bolts, then there's a pair of
notched pins, as I recall the seat needs to slide forward about 3/4" and
then it just lifts out. There's some electrical connectors as well but they
just unplug.
