Here's the FB Marketplace post if anyone was curious. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1471227817907499/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post He's in Union, CT. The first message to him and he offered me $3500. It felt too good to be true, and it just might be. At ...

S60R with issues. Hm?? Run and keep running. If that timing belt was done more than 10 years ago it is well past due. Kind of points to the lack of past servicing records and wrong maintenance priorities like an IPD muffler over timing belt. No cheap Volvos out there, especially 'R' models. Neil. A...

Post away. The devil you know is always better than the devil you don't. That said, sometimes there's a speed itch one needs to scratch, and for that he may trade reliability for handling. It's all in what you value most. There is no right answer. Meditate in the sun and your choice will come to yo...

Down here, we're getting hit by snow and freezing rain over night, 50s Thursday, and back to snow overnight into Friday

I think I'm on the same page as you. I already know what's been done, how well it's been done, and what parts I've used (and where I cut corners ;) ). Curious, is posting Facebook Marketplace links frowned upon under this subsection of the forum? I figure I'd throw it on here in case anyone else is ...

Hello! After 3 months, I've still yet to do major work on the Volvo (thanks, winter), and I'm at the point where I just want to pay to get it done. I'm getting mixed messaging online when it comes to clicking noises. If I turn my wheel, hear clicking, and the axle is bad, is the location of the bad ...

I am stuck. There's this pretty Black on Beige S60R with around 150K miles on it. It's an automatic (which I'm okay with; I've owned a manual) and has a boat load of things done to it. I've attached the entire list from the ad. The price he's asking for is too good to be true (under 5k). He's only o...

Okay, so there is some extra work to be done, but not a ton. Thanks!

GKN can be hit or miss. New GKN is OE quality. Rebuilt GKN can be bad. You can disassemble your tripods and add a shim, so the tripods are rolling on a new untouched surface. Or you can swap your axles to 2.5T XC90, they don't have tripods and last forever. Good to know about the XC90 axles. Are yo...

Hey! Looking at some new CV axles for my own rig and I was wondering how your new ones are fairing after installing them. GKN seems few and far between these days and I don't want to risk my life with RockAuto junk.

Cheers!
