Re: What did you do to your Volvo today? (now Sticky!!)

Washed it. Wasted effort this time of year but it looks nice for a couple of minutes at least :-D Used a new to me detailer and gloss schampoo from swedish tershine. Seems to work quite well. It'll be nice to see and do it properly in the spring using concentrated detailer. Today it was diluted as a...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today? (now Sticky!!)

I'm too old to switch now! Besides my Volvo has Jet power under the hood 8) . Isn't Saab out of business? June Saab makes jet fighters, radars and missiles. Among other things. The car maker was, much like Volvo now, just using a name licence but weren't part of the Saab corporation. Missiles! Ohhh...

Re: XC90 snorkel for offroading

I'm guessing the car will stop working with water everywhere before having a snorkel is an issue. It's a slightly higher road cruiser after all. So don't rely on it. But for the looks, sure go for it and make sure you post pictures!

Re: 2006 XC70 - I can hear something rolling around in the back of the car

Re: Check your power steering auxiliary reservoir

New reservoir in place. Old fluid which has only been in there for two and a half years and 60' km was starting to look dark. I did pump it out this time as opposed to sucking it out of the top of the reservoir last time. It's more likely I got the old dirt out this way. The pictured bottle is flat...

Re: Where is the rain sensor? (2004)

Inside the windshield in front of the mirror. It's apparently quite sensitive to improper mounting if the windshield has been replaced. Also if you add windshield treatment to the area it looks at it can become a bit wierd. If you'd rather have a regular interval wiper like on the cars without just ...
