Wow, that's a lot of money. I've been trying to research this topic as well because mine is due to be replaced. It was looking like it was easier to replace the axle than the boot, so I was goign to go that route for my problem. www.raxles.com has top quality replacement axles, or local places have ...

Is it my ETM, or something else?

I have a '99 S70 N/A, and quite often the idle will drop to very low, around 500 RPMs, and some times it will pick back up, or sometimes it will stall. This happens when i step on the brake and slow or come to a complete stop. It has a better chance of stalling when I turn because of the power steer...

Axle or CV Boot Replacement

I noticed recently that my left front CV boot is shot. I've been pondering whether to replace the boot, replace the axle, or ride it out for a while. I haven't been able to find any Volvo specific information on how to replace it. I have moderate skills, but I've heard this could be a tricky and mes...

I got the CD player installed, and it looks sweet. No fit kit was required to mount the deck. Only something to fill the bottom void is required, which I will be using a cupholder kit. I can post some pics if anyone is interested.

1999 S70 Aftermarket CD player

I would like to replace the broken cd player as well as install cupholders that are superior to the cheesy ones in the armrest. I have found a possible solution here http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7985853759 Are there better options out there? Would I still need to...

Keyless entry fob '99 S70

I just bought my first Volvo from a used car dealership. I have a keyless entry fob, but it doesn't do anything for the car. I tested it on a piece of equipment, and it is emitting RF signal. I tried the procedure of turning the key 5 times to reset any codes, but that didn't do anything. I looked i...

Thanks for all this great input! Keep it coming. This message board is actually one of the main reasons that I am wanting to purchase a Volvo. I was originally favoring the Nissan Maxima, but I couldn't find near the online support for the car. It appears that the Volvo community rivals the Jeep (my...

Is the turbo worth it?

I am not a Volvo owner yet, but would like to be soon. I really want an 850 Turbo, but the ones in my price range are few and far between. Is it really worth it to get the turbo? Are there any cheap and easy mods for a non turbo car to make it fun to drive? I'm not a racer or anything, but I would l...
