Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Finally took 5 minutes to quiet down the rattle-y tailgate on her 855 over the weekend. It always bugged me when I drove it, and I noticed that the striker had very little, to no bushing on it. The Tailgate would lift ever-so-slightly, and thus the rattle. 5 minutes and a short piece of black nylon ...

Re: VS M4.4 tuning dead? Start again here?

Hi! Dear Chuck, can you please send me BIN files for m4.4 from S/V/C70 with a mechanical throttle? Maybe there were earlier discussions about the firmware for these cars that I missed.

Re: Re: Bluetooth Double din unit for P80

We've had BT double-DIN aftermarket head units in our 850s for a while now. BOSS units from Amazon and have served us well.
