Should have said the front part Volvo calls an 'Air-Guide'. IPD lists it made by URO. It is one of the few items that they make that is worth paying for. Interestingly I put in mu 2000 V70R for the under-tray you linked and it says it does not fit it. Not sure why it would not fit an AWD P80 v's a F...

Which of your work items were the most worthwhile? In other words, which gave you the most improvement in gas mileage, ride quality, reliability, etc, perhaps with respect to their cost?

Recently I tried to close the driver side window but as it rose it started tilting at an angle. I thought maybe the window guide must have come loose or broke again. Found out that one of the two brackets attached to the bottom of the glass came loose and dropped to the bottom of the door. The glass...

Yeah, things called synthetic in the USA are abysmal as maybe only 10% truly are by definition synthetic. This turned out 10x longer than I planned. :-) I fully admit that what is labeled as Synthetic isn't what people think it means. However, I don't think what is labeled as Synthetic are "ab...

Cylinder #2 and #3 get the oil from the leaking filler cap seal or a loose or split PCV pipe to the head.
