For downloadable copies of Volvo owner's manuals, visit the following Volvo Car websites: US: Other Sites: and select your country. There is no substitute for the paper Green Books. You can buy a bootleg disk on EBay for around $30 but be aware that information for early 700/900 cars may be scanty. The Volvo VADIS DVD disks have integrated parts diagrams. See the links above and below for some pirated online scanned copies. You will need to find a local library to view and print these via a fiche printer. Another helpful tool is the parts microfiche set: five or six microfiche parts diagrams.
NOTE: a recent tour of the Volvo site (late 2010) showed many of these manuals 'no longer available'.
The one manual you should always have is the wiring diagram book appropriate for your model and year: these are invaluable. Each book, priced between $20 and $50, covers a specific car system (e.g., 'front suspension', 'climate control', etc.) so a whole set is quite expensive. The VCNA website also has a direct link to the Technical Literature ordering site: at which you can purchase the superb Green Books and parts microfiche.
