I am going to look at a 2004 t6 and 2005 2.5T AWD this weekend, both are up for sale for less than $4,500. Is one model generally better than the other? I like the idea of the extra power with the T6 but it looks like the engine compartment is more cramped and I don't understand why it only came ...

I have owned many volvos over the years (740, 850, v70, c70). I am now in the market for a newer car and came across a 2007 s80 with the naturally aspirated 3.2 6 cylinder motor at our local Volvo dealer. It has plenty of miles (170K) but looks great and has a full set of service records. My main ...

Thanks, we actually took the car to him and received wonderful service. I highly recommend him!

Looking for a recommendation for a reputable independent Volvo mechanic in Chicago. My son borrowed my 2004 V40 and drove it to school in Chicago. He called me this morning to say that the steering is making a lot of noise and the brakes aren't working. If it were closer to home, I would take care ...

I have a set of snow tires in great shape from a Saab that I no longer own. They are 215/55 R16s, which seem really close to the 215/50 R16 tires that are specified in the manual. I am thinking of having them mounted on my 2004 V40, however, I am concerned that they will rub the inner wheel liner ...

I recently purchased a 2004 V40 LSE with 145k miles. I was able to get the dealer to print out the service history. I noticed that there were several times where the prior owner brought the car in for something that is referred to simply as "A-frame". The operation code for this is 61VOZZ. Does ...

I have a 1994 850 sedan with a 5 speed and I have to say it is a blast to drive. I prefer it to my 98 S70 T5 manual. You can give it a little boost by swapping out the throttle plate for a 960 version and advance the intake and exhaust cam 2 degrees. You may have electronic throttle, not familiar ...

Thanks. I am about to park my 2004 C70 T5 for the winter and am looking for a suitable replacement for the winter months. The C70 is great for getting on and off the highway (much faster than my 2002 V70 T5 for some reason). I am not someone who is into performance for the sake of racing but I want ...

Thinking of checking out a local 2000 S70 with a five speed manual transmission as a winter car. Just curious if anyone here has an idea of just how slow this car would be? Couldn't find any info on the internet for 0-60 times for the N/A models.

Thanks!

Thanks for your advice. Just finished putting it all back together and went for a drive. Really wasn't all that difficult. Hardest part was figuring out how to get the serpentine belt back on. The "new" design tensioner with the t55 hole in it is a lot less user friendly than the serpentine ...
