Bill, As allways... thank you for your input! Yes... I do believe you are right on that. Neighbor's car is a 04 s40 My wife had a 98 v70 which we sold months ago. I now recall having the turn signal issue with the v70 intermittanly. My temporary cure for that was to shut the car off and then restart...

Hi, My neighbor has a 2004 s70 and from what she tells me, her car has received regular maintenance. Car brought down to Florida from New Jersey and has 121k Non Turbo That is all I know for now. She has NO turn signals at all Hazards do work though. She said they stopped working one night on her wa...

Cant say it was cheap, however these guys specialize in volvo's and Cooper Minis. Volvo is their primary bread and butter. I...

lindy8_man Hate to say it, but volvo plastic is troublesome. I guess with age (as my 89 245) the plastic in our cars become brittle where if you look at it funny, it will break or crack. I have used epoxy and a strip of plastic on the underside of parts in my car like the "map pockets and the e...

Hi, This is a US car with 260k There is a sensor that threads into the block (right side-passenger side) that is set near the oil filter and alternator. I have a poor contact as my (plug) is non existant and if I were to replace the plug and wire, I may want to replace the sensor as well. Anyone kno...

andys245... I have purchased a set (L&R) from them (One set per year) Does that sound like BS or what? Their tail lamps for the 245 (cand say anything for the sedan) but the tail lamp assembly for our wagons are made in china and are a poor and cheap plastic... The melting of the housing is inev...
