Re: Rust strategy for 1993 240 Sedan.
Thanks for your fast answer, Vova. Got a couple of questions: -Is the Krown application something I could do myself? -I can’t but another one right now. At this point I’m exploring keeping it alive for the next 5 years. -what’s the part you’re mostly worried about regarding the visible rust? Where w...

Rust strategy for 1993 240 Sedan.
Hi friends. Long time no see. We added a new Volvo to the family (1993 240 Sedan) so expect more activity from me as I figure out how to bring it back to its glory. I’d like to start addressing the most critical piece: Rust. I’m not delusional, I don’t expect to restore the car. But I would like to ...

Differences between XC70 10'-14' and 15'-16'
Hi everyone. Apologies for a potentially basic question, but I wasn't able to find literature somewhere else. I'm looking to upgrade my 2006 XC70 to a newer model. I have up to ~21k to spend and have been looking exclusively for 2015~2016 models. However, a friend mentioned that, as long as mileage ...

Re: Leap from 2006 XC70 to XC60 - Advice needed
Thanks!
I test drove one this weekend, and I think we can definitely work with this cargo area! I’m about to pull the trigger on this one: https://www.carvana.com/vehicle/1955090 but was hoping you guys could help me out with the questions on my initial post.

Thanks Matt. I'm actually doing that this upcoming Friday, but wanted to get ahead of the decision curve in case it does look like enough for me.

Leap from 2006 XC70 to XC60 - Advice needed
Hi all. I'm in the market to replace my good ol' 2006 XC70 with a newer car that I can get more peace of mind with (less time available, and less money available for repairs). I'd like to stick to Volvos, but here are some non-negotiables: My budget is limited (~18k Max) I don't want to lose too muc...

Re: 2006 XC70 Red Warning - Coolant Low Stop Engine
Hey guys, circling back on this. I took the car to my Volvo-specialized (non-Stealership) mechanic and they said there was a leak on the Reservoir. I got the part, and they replaced it. I haven't seen the red alert since then, so you guys were right! Thanks everyone.

Re: 2006 XC70 Red Warning - Coolant Low Stop Engine
Thanks Chrism. I got scheduled to bring the car on Tuesday 27 to my mechanic; they'll find a leak if there is one. I'll also ask them to do a full flush. Meanwhile, is "replenishing" the coolant reservoir something I could do myself to avoid creating a problem while driving with the curren...

Re: 2006 XC70 Red Warning - Coolant Low Stop Engine
Isn't the coolant reservoir pressurized? Can I just top it up myself, like I would with the washer fluid? If so, is there a brand/model you reccommend? Also, the Temp level of the car looks ok, at the middle position. That's the reason I didn't panic. Moreover, with the message dissapearing, but I t...

Re: 2006 XC70 - Tail gate Rubber band replacement
Hey! Bumping this to see if anyone can help? I'm guessing any glue would work, but I;d rather take advice from someone who's done something similar in the past. Thanks!
