Re: 96 850 - best current sources for reman steering racks and radiators??

Hello Sonic! I’ve moved east of you to Long Island since we last met! I’ve done three Nissens radiators from FCP over the last 10 years with good results. Four if I include the one I did twice , left it hanging without one of the bolts which strained open the side container. Racks , I have used bot...

96 850 - best current sources for reman steering racks and radiators??

Hey ya’ll - well it’s been about 2 1/2 years since I had someone put in a reman-Ed TRW rack and bang, got a slow leak again. Should I try the Lucas stuff or the Valvoline additive as a stopgap? Or both at the same time? Looking over the budget to keep this car on the road - as of late 2024, what is ...

Re: Help! Rear Seat Top install 99 V70 XC P80

Hi did you ever post the video you made? As soon as I finally get my current seats out, I will be reinstalling replacements and I’d like to refer to your video.

So far, I only have experience with getting them out not putting them back in.

Rear seat removal from P80 wagons

Trying to remove the rear seat uppers. I know they are hard to remove, but even after removing the black clips, I’m getting no play on lifting the aluminum brackets up on either side. I’m assuming some kind of galvanic corrosion between the steel post and the aluminum is the culprit here. Thinking I...

P80 audio system upgrade question

Hey all, I have an 850 with a SC815 head unit. It seems like all of the speakers have some kind of issue, when I isolate (using balance and fade) the rear door speakers they seem blown, the fronts aren’t much better when individually isolated. Anyone have a good parts list of replacement speakers fo...

Re: First time purchase tips: 2010 XC90

The CarFax states “3.2L I6 F DOHC 24V All Wheel Drive” - does this mean it’s a turbo or are all of these turbo?

First time purchase tips: 2010 XC90

Hi after nearly 10 years of driving P80 wagons, I’ve been offered a chance to purchase a 2010 XC90. It has 150k miles, and is fully equipped, I believe the highest trim line. I am waiting to get the VIN, but in general, I know it has been well-maintained by a Volvo mechanic and owned by responsible ...
