Wanted, 2009-2011 XC90 V8, Tan Interior

Hi, I'm searching for a 2009-2011 XC90 V8 with a tan interior. Ideally this car will be white in color, but not required. I'm located in North Carolina, but not afraid to travel to see/pick up a good example. Not afraid of higher mileage vehicles as long as they have been maintained properly. Please ...

Re: I bought a V70 5 speed manual today

Apparently this has had a new clutch within the past 3K miles.
I appreciate you giving ME an FYI. :roll:

Let's hope whoever did it knew well enough to replace the cylinder; it isn't oft-discussed in the state-side based forums, if at all. I had to find out that it's a failure liability by ...

Re: I bought a V70 5 speed manual today

Very nice! Same options as mine, and your interior is miles nicer than mine. My seams are tearing and the leather is showing cracks/discoloration, even at 80k miles it wasn't nearly as nice as yours. FYI, the slave cylinders in these things are known to fail prematurely. Mine went at 85k miles, and ...

Re: 2003 V70na Pressure Plate failing?

Oh, I just used the small poly bushing and re-installed the larger OEM piece. I inspected it and it looked just fine. The vibrations feel maybe 10% more than they were when I got the car originally, a HUGE improvement from using the large poly bushing.

Re: 2003 V70na Pressure Plate failing?

So it turns out it was the transmission torque mount.

Rubber completely shot. Still there, sort of, but nothing was connected. I ended up replacing the worn-out OEM piece with a poly piece I bought on eBay. IPD had a 15 day back-order and I couldn't ...

Re: Fcp Euro overstock flash sale!

How do we know what's on sale? I entered my year/make/model/trim and then scrolled through the first ten pages of products; past all the most popular items and into the esoteric pieces. Not a single one was on sale. Also, this "flash sale" isn't even mentioned on the home page or anywhere else I ...

2003 V70na Pressure Plate failing?

So I've got a 2003 V70 with the M56 manual transmission. OEM Clutch kit and OEM Slave cylinder were installed 28k and 2 years ago. Now the clutch 'bite' point is getting higher and higher on the pedal. I've called three local independent Volvo shops to ask their advice. Two of the three said it was ...

IPD car on craigslist, Raleigh NC

it's devoid of most necessary details, but a keen eye might be able to discern what model and maybe year(s). Probably some good parts to be had.
