Matthew you have had the good sense to take the factory oil out???? You know there is lots of metal particles that appear in the first 200 miles and more appear over the next couple hundred miles after that. Every new car I have bought I have had the oil changed at 200 miles and every engine without...

I realize this is a old thread, but I experienced the constant blowing bulbs situation with my P2 car 2004 S80. I went through a rash of bulb failure including headlights. It was really driving me crazy. Years earlier the car wouldn't start at a inopportune time so I called AAA and paid them to inst...

I know most on here are stuck in 850 land, but Volvo has had so many other neater looking cars like the little C70?hatchback or prettier cars like the 2007 C70 convertible or the new V90 Cross Country or for that matter the V70 Cross Country. Altho the 850/V70 wagon original design was gorgeous and ...

As long as the central locking system is unlocked the trunk is unlocked and the button to open the trunk is between the tag lights. So a extra button inside to open the trunk is unnecessary. If the car is locked the button won't work. The valet lock button is so the trunk won't unlock with the centr...

Unsure of the off and on part, but on my 2004 S80 the high beams do the same when the switch is at 0 and work fine in the on position. I leave the switch in the on position at all times since the car is equipped with daytime running lights. My 2002 S80 T6 had HID headlights option and turned off and...

In my case, Position 0 all lights are off ( flash/pass light keeps flashing randomly, it subsides after driving around a while but tends to return if the car is switched off and started again). Position I Just the park lights. Position II Low beam turns on and switching to high beam via the stalk (...

June's brake consumption sounds more in line with what I'd expect and what I've seen on my P2 (and P80) cars. I think every two years is actually the recommended interval for brake fluid but it's a recommendation not a must among the service items. A humid climate will require it more often than a ...

I was reading a thread on here where someone mentioned this sensor may need to be cleaned. Sure enough mine was full of fluffy stuff. Now for years my car only seemed to blow ice cold air out if the vents only on the hottest day like 100°, even set all the way to cold. Yesterday the outside temp rea...

......would you rather put the work into all the above on a 2002 S60, or risk the possible AWD/ETM issues on a V70 that seems to be otherwise running great? * Why is he selling if he's only had it for a year? * His guess is just that....a guess. Verification? Records? I've never owned an AWD anythi...
