Re: V70 stalling issue, any ideas
I would agree with "abscate". I have replaced many. Not as cheap as you would expect a relay to be. Go with original equipment Volvo part only. It should be located in the engine compartment fuse/relay center near the base of the windshield on the driver's side. Usually red or green in col...

Re: OEM Suspension Only? Maybe not... WorldPac
I own a small independent repair shop in a Northwest suburb of Chicago, (DesPlaines)
I have great success with World PAC. They provide great O.E. quality parts and many it is the actual O.E. part, just reboxed. For 6 years we have been very pleased

Hey guys, I am new to MVS. I have a '98 V70 T5. I've had the OBX turbo back system for 6 months now. No problems, love the sound , and couldn't beat the price, ($400). The only problem I had was finding someone who actually had it in stock. Apparently mine was on back order for a couple of months. C...
