This is gonna be a weird one I assume, just wanted to get some opinions as a lot of parts have been changed in order to get this sound to go away. so I have a weird mechanical sound coming from the front in a very certain situation. This happens when: • After a long…

Hi! I’m now a first time Volvo owner (and generally not yet very knowledgeable on cars) after taking over my late father’s 2002 S60 (Benzine/LPG manual, 2.4NA 140HP).It has seen a fair amount of use considering the mileage has now exceeded 400K KM, though generally runs well and I’ll be scheduling an appointment with a…
Sooooo…..my R journey has not entirely gone to plan. After acquiring the R early in the fall of 2021, I continued to daily drive my S40 T5, while I plotted and schemed as to my upgrade plans. The first half of 2022 was sucked up with my Westfalia/Subaru engine swap which turned out well but…
The HID conversion is always going to be the best solution, but I did not opt for this due to the expensive cost of the conversion kit and also needing to build a SKBOWE kit (they are no longer available for purchase & I’m time poor to build, even though its simple) I already have…

My V90 also only had the “Premium” sound system and I was looking for an upgrade as well. I managed to get the Phoenix Gold Kit for a reasonable price and installed the front (ZDSV1) and rear (ZDSV2) kit today. I´m still on the factory amp, might get the Phoenix Gold ZDAPV1 one too, but…
Try Volvo Diagnostics – Virtual Machines, Installers and More to DL a copy of VIDA. These transmissions had an almost 100% failure rate, especially the T6 XC90. XC90 is 6000#’s compared to S80 at 4000#’s. Supposedly Chevy told Ford that the 4T65 would not hold up to the turbo torque and car weight. The tran…
(Scroll down if you don’t care about the long-winded intro.) Hi all. Time (actually, past time) for suspension on my 2013 at all 4 corners. We’re talking 146k hard New England miles on what MAY be the original shocks and springs (although I feel like that’s almost impossible…) – the car is still technically fine,…

You read that right. P3 and P2 power folding mirrors use the same motorized folding bases, at least for S60/S80/V70/XC70/XC90…so let’s get into it! Obligatory before pics to start – I had folding P2 mirrors w/ satin silver caps. After, w/ Anthracite KPAX covers and sequential/dynamic smoked turn indicators w/ BLIS cameras. Comparison on passenger…

As @Catfriend suggests, range estimate is just that, and can be influenced by software updates. I use range on the IC as an indicator, but especially with a Volvo where we can’t always tell what software level we are on or not, it’s hard to know how real the actual range is over time, unless…
