Then i used closed cell foam from the type you use t...

Re: Code PO 420

Well , thanks for all the good advice from contributors regarding this post. Ironically a blurb I saw on the internet while researching something called CATACLEAN, one of the reviewers suggested some full throttle drag race starts to redline to blow out the Cat. So I did four starts flooring it till...

Re: 1999 V70 Need louder turn signal clicker

Thanks to all for replying. However this is more than I planned. In a past car I just bought the louder clicker and plugged it in for $10 bucks. Apparently with a Volvo it is not that simple.

1999 V70 bumper paint

Hello, About to repaint the front and rear bumper covers, I understand you have to use plastic bumper paint.
Anyone have experience or recommend a particular brand ?

Heard about SEM but they dont seem to have Volvo colors ?

Re: 1999 V70 Outer door trim

Thanks for the info and video. However, it looks like there are no door plugs to access screws on the 99 V70 so they must be on with adhesive. I assume it will only take a heat gun to get the dented ones off but I don't know the best way to reattach some junk yard ones off a parts care , I guess a c...

1999 V70 Outer door trim

Hello, I am looking to replace the dented outer plastic door protective trim on my V70.

Is the trim strip on with adhesive or clips ? Whats the best way to remove it?

Can I remove a strip from a S70 parts car to fit or do I have to buy new.
