2000 S70 - Loud Popping from Windshield

Hello: I have researched the posts and it seems like my Volvo's problem was not specifically addressed. (Please forgive me if it was addressed in a post I did not find.) The periodically pops. It can be when going over bumps, but also it is just when I am driving. It sounds like a piece of rock salt...

My car won't t...

I am looking for a fairly smoot...

Koni vs. Bilstein vs. Sachs

For a shock and strut replacement does anyone have any experience with these brands? My car is squeaky and I think in need of a shock/strut job.

Last week I was in a parking lot of traffic for about 2 hours and my temperature was like 50-60 degrees hotter than outside. Is this something i sho...

Re: Losing Oil

The new seal seems to still be leaking oil. Will this stop the longer the oil heats the o-ring and causes a permanent seal? The PCV valve was fine and the PCV system doesn't seem like it needs replacing. any thoughts?
