Re: New to Volvos, questions about parts compatibility and desirable parts.

It's Good that you both are alright. Really a shame that happened after how much anticipation you had in getting the car and then tearing right into it with the exhaust and all your plans you have with the seats and other items. So am i understanding correctly that in Quebec once a car's srs deploy...

Re: New to Volvos, questions about parts compatibility and desirable parts.

Doesn't look too bad. Dash and airbags are available at junkyards. Get an insurance settlement and go parts shopping. . . Hell -- I can probably outfit you with a steering wheel (no airbag). They are not allowed to sell airbags here. Too bad I guess I will keep the Golf afterall... Unless I find an...

Re: New to Volvos, questions about parts compatibility and desirable parts.

Doesn't look that bad but the ***** actually drove all the way into the side of the car so the whole drivers side is damaged.

Re: New to Volvos, questions about parts compatibility and desirable parts.

Today I finally had the time to clean the car. I couldn't believe what I found. I think the guy didn't vacuum the car in years. Took me like 3 hours to clean the inside and the trunk. Get this. I was shooting the drivers side floor mat with a 2000psi pressure washer and it took me like 10 minutes of...

Re: New to Volvos, questions about parts compatibility and desirable parts.

Short of manually positioning the dampers by removing the dash I don't think you can get your AC into defrost mode easily unless it has manual climate control. That uses cables to move the dampers, not motors I took it out yesterday, I do have the manual one. It doesn't use a cable. It only has ele...

Re: New to Volvos, questions about parts compatibility and desirable parts.

Thank you all for your replies. Volvo's are designed to use the AC system to rapidly defrog the windows, so that will need to be working. I believe that the stereo system is superior to most. It's well designed and balanced. Get a OEM SC-816 and all 8 speaker and you should be very happy. Being a 33...

Re: New to Volvos, questions about parts compatibility and desirable parts.

Well... I just found out that the heater control doesn't change position when I move it. This sucks. Took at least 30 mins to be able to defrost the windshield... Hoping it's not too bad to fix.
