I too would like more info on this. I have the '95 T5-R, it is black with gray trim on the sides. The gray trim seems to stand out too much to me. Matching the black of the fenders would be nice.

Hopefully this is nothing serious. I have had similar symptoms with a previous (now dead) car -not a Volvo. Unfortunately in that case the intake manifold gasket was leaking. I was getting oil in my coolant, which in turn was super-heating the engine instead of cooling it :shock:-and long story ...
