You can fit my mechanical abilities in a shot glass, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. :wink:

I would be surprised if your engine was otherwise operating without abnormalities with a cracked head or blown head gasket. I did that on an old Fiat in college (caused by a rotten water ...

Thanks. Hopefully that is the case. A general google search (again mostly responding to the same problem with the inner handle) resulted in many opinions that it is in the $400 to $600 range.

I use a local mechanic rather than a volvo dealer. He works on my BMW and is very adept at taking things ...

I did a search and found people complaining about a similar problem with inside door handles, but not sure if it is the same issue.

Wife has an 07 S60 with 35K. Suddenly, the outside front passenger door handle stopped opening the car. The lock works fine and it opens from the inside. The handle ...

Thanks. We are about 19 inches from the Syracuse all-time record (192). Typical winter is about 120.

I have an independent guy I go to for my bmw and he works on volvos as well. He yells at me to change oil more than I do. I have 185K on the bimmer and its still running well. I definitely believe ...

Sixty day update:

Have put almost 4K miles on it in two months and the only issue so far has been one tail light bulb. 170 inches of snow and counting here. Another dozen inches last night and that car is so solid - like a tank barreling through the unplowed roads this morning. Very sure-footed ...

Thanks. This is a great winter here in Syracuse to have the AWD. Over 125 inches so far (we had 71 inches by Christmas) and more snow expected every day this week. This car just barrels through the slop. I'm a little nervous reading the comments on this forum about volvo awd, but hopefully that ...

We just bought an '07 s60 for my wife, off lease. AWD, with performance and sport packages. Only 13,000 miles on it and it looks and drives like a brand new car, at a great price - $21K.

This is a first volvo for us and so far, we love it. My wife doesn't get as excited about cars as I do but she ...
