The problems you are encountering might point to failing door lock actuators. If they have never been replaced, they are due. When they start failing, it's always only on hot days. There is information on this on this site, you will have to search for that. But I would try and diagnose in this direc...

I hope you play some Mandolin Orange while your doing this job

Nice job!!

Wow, that's a fantastic looking R, and it has 3 pedals too!

And yes, it's evaporator time.

For those who have replaced their MTF, did you find that you needed a 3rd bottle to fully top off the 2.1L capacity? Or is the remaining .1L usually made up by fluid that doesn't fully drain? I have 2 bottles of Genuine Volvo 31280771 and am deciding whether to purchase a 3rd before I start the job...

It sounds like a pretty good deal, but there are a few questions you should ask, items you should check. When was the timing belt and water pump replaced, condition of tranny fluid, how old is the brake fluid, what is the status of the ETM, etc. Also, in my experience even well maintained examples d...

I thought it would be fun to hear from people who actually bought a new P80 when they were on the market. Post here if you have fun stories about what you did with them. I'll start with our 99' V70 XC which we bought in September of 1999. We got $5000 of retail because the 2000 models were coming in...

I took off my snow tires (last week? time is meaningless) and found that one of my all-season tires had developed dimples on its sidewall. It’s toast, right? I'm no expert, but here's what the experts say about sidewall indentations: https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=32 Th...

We never camped inside or on top of a Volvo, but here are some photos of our first camping trip as newly weds. We bought a 99' V70XC in late August of that year and also a 96' Dutchman Popup along with new Cannondale bikes. After driving the new Volvo for 3k miles we deemed it sufficiently broken in...

I am using this exact thingy to power my aux. driving lights in the 850 and also in the S70. Works perfect, and the cover still closes fine. There is even an opening under the fuse box where the cable can be routed thru to the underside of the dash. I can take photos tonight of what the install look...
