Just in case any of you guys are interested. The tranny didn't really get much better after the first ATF change with Volvo 1611521 ATF. After the 3rd change about a week ago she started to slip and shudder when crawling in heavy traffic and when climbing slowly up hills. Desperate, I scoured the ne...

Mine's a 98 too but it's a V70 T5, a heavier car than your sedan and I get about 22 - 24mpg in gentle city driving (I mostly drive alone and not pushing her past 2,500rpm in all gears).

Cheers,

Get a Cassette Adaptor for MP3 players made by Belkin (available at most computer/IT/software centres, I should think). It features a magnetic head 'transmitter' that contacts the...

Hello there, I'm new here and like many others before me I must say this is a really great site (thanks Matthew!).
