Scratch what I said, I didn't read that this was a 2010 model.

The cabin air filter is near the firewire inside the car. if you remove the lower panel (which is held in place with two T25 torx screws) and snap off the center console side panel (also pull back the carpet too), you will find the cover for the cabin air filter on the passenger side at the VERY ...

Seems like a late response, but I just bought my S80 V8. From what I researched, there isn't any direct way (wiring wise) to make them constantly 12V+, unless you want to run your own wires and do some cutting and tapping. The trunk has a provision for a 12V+ outlet and that one is supposedly ...

Ever since I topped off my AC over a year ago, the system drips a lot on my car. In fact if I park the car and shut it off, a puddle forms. Seems like its too efficient.

Typically if you install the dolby pro logic processor, you cannot have a amplifier behind your radio, because this processor takes its space, and therefore you would have the amplifier under your seat (as the SC-900 and SC-901 do not have a built in amplifier). I upgraded my system to a SC-901 with ...

I personally didn't feel like the car got rougher over bumps when I got my sway bar setup. Over the past year i've replaced the old Bilstein TCs with new Bilstein TCs shocks and struts, kept the stock springs, installed a CJ's (iPd) strut brace, iPd HD endlinks and finally completed everything with ...

I hate to bring up a old thread, but there is a nearly free way to eliminate the bulb out warning for the front headlights. I had to do this because I installed a heavy gauge wiring harness to drive my halogen bulbs (instead of the feeble stock wiring), because the relays on my harness trigger a ...

I first upgraded my Volvo H7 headlights by using a beefier wiring harness (running 14 gauge wiring direct to the battery). This made a very noticible difference in brightness. The next step was to upgrade to the H9 on H7 base bulb, the Osram Rallye 65w H7 bulb. This made a major change in brightness ...

I recently purchased a Bosch 15097 from Amazon.com for less than FCP or any of the usual car sites with free shipping:

Put it in and it works like a charm!

I'm writing this article, because I still believe in squeezing as much out of the stock system for as little as possible, provided you want to DIY. The modification I performed on the stock dash tweeters would apply for the other speakers in the Volvo that have a tweeter with a (electrolytic ...
