Re: 2001 AW55-50SN compatibility

Thanks for the quick response! I don't have that, though I've been driving Volvos since 1979!
Should I just look on Amazon? So much junk sold there, I'm a bit skeptical of what I'd get.
Do you know of a reputable source for the software?

2001 AW55-50SN compatibility

Hi, I have a 2001 V70 T-5 automatic that needs a transmission. I pulled one years ago from a parts car that the PO said Volvo had just replaced the transmission on. Same year, same V70 T-5 automatic. So I kept it after hearing all the doom and gloom stories about the AW 55-50SN transmission. I ...

Re: Speed sensitive vs standard steering rack?

Re: 1999 v70 r in a salvage yard

Where's the car? I could use that front bumper cover but probably not worth the shipping if it's too far from CT....

Looking for reliable mechanic vicinity of Lynchburg VA

Hi all,

My daughter is taking her trusty 98 S70 T5 to school in Virginia. It has 255k miles on it and I did just about everything I could think of to get the car ready but it would be a big help if I could get a recommendation for a good Volvo mechanic in the Lynchburg area, just in case! We are ...

Re: 2002 S80 model buying advice?

Actually, I'd consider any S80 in the $1500-$2500 range!
CL is loaded with them and I can't help but wonder why...

1998 headlight wiper motor removal

I've been trying to remove the left side headlight wiper motor from a 98 V70 parts car I just picked up. It seems as if I need to remove the radiator, or at least unbolt the actual crossmember that the radiator is attached to, in order to be able to slide the motor out from between the radiator and ...

front bumper cover removal?

OK, I've searched for a while now & can't seem to find any info on this so...
I recently picked up a 98 V70 GLT for parts, it's the same color as my 99 V70, so I was trying to remove the front bumper cover. I got all of it loose except for the top middle. There seems to be some sort of tabs, or ...
