This is the new thread for my project V70XC. A quick backstory: this vehicle was originally sold brand new in Baltimore, shipped to Florida, where it spent the first 8 years and 4 ETM’s of its’ life under the original owner. It had light damage to the front end, but is not noticeable to me….
We’ve had 20” Continentals on a 2021 XC60 and our current 2024 T8. We also had a 2023 that came with 21” Pirellis that we didn’t want but that’s the way it came. Air suspension on all three. I want a quiet car because we routinely do long cross country trips, 2K miles and more….

Hello all! Recently I’ve completed an oil consumption fix for my cousins 2015 V60 T5 with 2.0 Drive-E engine (B4204T11). The fix is also known as TJ 31216.5.0.

Hi. I’m hoping to get some more insight on something odd that has transpired this week. Short story, my 2004 XC90 T6 165K miles is for sale here, and I agreed to a pre-sale inspection. The Volvo “specialist” near me did a compression and leakdown test as part of a “bumper to bumper” 2 hour…

Below is a list of the issues, annoyances and enhancement requests I put together based on my first couple weeks and 500 miles worth of ownership. Given all of the features that are to be delivered “in a future software update” and all of the issues I’ve personally encountered, I feel like I unknowingly signed…

Broinkrist’s 2005 S60 T5 M66 with 4C So I figured it is about time to start my own thread about my first Volvo. I purchased the car in September of 2010. Car was listed for sale here on swedespeed, but i purchased it from Volvo of Princeton, New Jersey. My best friend and his family…
I do not know. The valves will open a little later. Will they close too soon, same or later? Will it mess with the air/fuel mixture? Same on the other end being too tight and open too soon. I know that you want to get this running. No matter what we say it is still…
Am I stepping on any toes @Nerd23 if I take this group buy over? It’s been six months now and this thread is going nowhere. I have Venmo and Apple Pay as a way to accept funds, but not much else digitally. If you want to send a check or cash, that’s fine. The plan…
Bradyohead’s V50 T5 R-Design M66 build thread Now that I’ve done a small bit of work to the car I figured I’d make one of these. I probably won’t include regular maintenance unless it’s significant. The car is a 2010 V50 T5 R-Design with the M66 in Titanium Grey Metallic with the two tone white…
