Hello everyone, Does anyone have thoughts or experience in improving the low-beam lighting on your S80's? My 2007 has stock lights and I'm wondering if there is a problem with replacing them with other bulbs that will better illuminate the road ahead; and if not, what bulb(s) you'd recommend. Becaus...

Hi everyone, I have an '10 XC60 and an '07 S80 and am perplexed by the noisy air conditioners in both vehicles. When they are on, they seem to make a lot more noise that most other cars. Is this just a Volvo thing, or is it something that is ominous, foretelling a potential failure? It seems that th...

Thanks for the reply, SimLyons. I ended up buying cable-type chains designed for super-tight clearances (meets SAE Class "S" clearance requirements) and will only put them on if it's a matter of dealing with extremely hazardous conditions. The ones I bought for my 3.2 S80 were the SCC Z-ch...

Hello all,
Can anyone tell me if I can use non-OEM snow cables or chains on my 2007 S80 3.2, and what the problems might be if using them? Called the dealer and he wants to sell me some for over $400.
Thanks!

Hello everyone, I have a 2010 XC60 AWD T6 and need to buy snow chains for it. Is it possible to use conventional chains or cables or must I purchase the very expensive "Centrex" style? My tires are 235/60R18 Continental Crosscontact LX20's and I'm concerned about not having enough clearanc...

Hi,
I read your reply regarding the subject topic and my question is: What part(s) do I need to replace for my '96 850GLT wagon to remedy the same problem I'm having?
Thanks!

Hi!
My '96 850GLT wagon's turn signals are acting up (148,000 miles). The left-turn signal seems to work normally, but the right-turn indicator blinks two to three time faster than it used to. Anyone have any ideas about what's causing this?
Thanks.

Thanks for the info, jreed. I'll see how it functions with the problem and tackle it if and when I need to.

I recently had to have my '96 850 wagon smogged and while it passed the California emission tests with flying colors (all readings were less than the average for passing vehicles and well within the maximum test limits) I had an P0410 OBDII fault code indicating I had a secondary air injection syste...
