If you can, hold out for the right buyer. I should probably give up on waiting for an interestingly colored P2 V70R 6-speed and just buy this. However, I've spent so much restoring my 2000 V70 that I am inclined to keep it for a decade. You'd likely get a good amount selling it on Cars And Bids. It'...

Sold. . The seller saw the car on which listing website? It really sold itself once it reach the right audience. Price aside whether higher or lower it was pretty special. . It was never posted anywhere else. A connection was made through one of our finest moderators and it landed in the hands of a...

Here is how a 1999 OBD talks to the ECU IT first goes into the driver instrumentation module or DIM, see yellow lines The green lines follow it out into the ECU , module 4/46 by number.

Much better picture on the engine management side…

Seems to be the case with much of Volvo's electronics where you have to buy and new part to replace a broken one. Can't use a used one as the programming is a one shot use. It was the same with the DIM on my 00 R. Had to buy one to fix it but fortunately the original one was just suffering a loose c...

Is the immobilizer unit the small box on the LHS of the steering column or the larger one above the LHS footwell? https://www.volvovancouverparts.ca/a/Volvo_1999_S70-25l-5-cylinder/_51513_5702581/Electronic-starter-inhibitor-immobilizer/GR-70680.html Is this #2 on the drawing above? Neil. Yes it is...

I've been there multiple times. Absolutely beautiful country! My first time camping with a bunch of friends on the coast outside Gothenburg when I was 20. We actually drove by the Volvo factory and had no clue. At that time I didn't know much about Volvos although I already liked them. Go if you ca...

What a wonderful find! Glad to see they still turn up every once in a while. It would be hard to let that go unless it is just too nice to use! Neil. Thanks Neil, I took a look around this evening and discovered fresh oil, a new front oxygen sensor and a brand new AC compressor with new receiver dr...

I've been wanting to restore the bumper covers and trim on Sveedy for some time, but have put it off due to not being able to find a good product in, and here's the key, the right color. The bumpers and trim on 850's are a sort of charcoal gray color, not true black, and like most plastic covers, mi...
