I bought a URO elbow the other day, mine was torn. It connects a pcv hose assembly to the air box snorkel. Volvo part is $10 unless you get the assembly then it's $50 plus the dipstick o ring and the intake gasket and probably injector o rings depending on how they look. In my case, if I'm taking of...

You are the luckiest man on MVS this week. That fender panel will bolt off, and my guess is the underlying stuff is all good. If you post your colour code, you might be able to find a bolt on junkyard one for cheap and skip paint. If it is her car, then have the taxi company pay the Volvo Body guys ...

It hit me when I was going the opposite direction at 50 mph. It hit me on the driver's door and ran back and pushed the...

Carjackers and auto thieves should be taken to remote wilderness areas, shot twice in the leg and left for dead.

Just hope everyone is okay, car is car, its just metal
