Hey, everyone! I've had a pretty rough issue come up on my 2002 S80 2.9 today. Was taking a usual drive, nothing out of the ordinary, and began experiencing loud exhaust-like noises upon acceleration. The acceleration became slow and unsteady. Some rumble and hum at idle. Also, a slight "jump&q...

I've had an S80 for as long as I could drive (which hasn't really been all that long), and I've come to have the weirdest connection with that car. As for now, I don't have any significant reason to part with her, and I hope it will be a long time until I need to. But, for future reference, I have p...

Help? Anyone?

Goodness. I don't even know how many got, because I don't care how many I got. In the end, I read one and deleted the rest. Whether it's human error or a glitch, I don't really care, either. Thanks for including me, and thanks for all the hard in work keeping this site up and running!

Hahaha, thanks everybody! It's true, there is a huge variety of owners. Unfortunately, I think a lot of Volvo owners here are just plain WEIRD. Like, really weird. I'm still chuckling here because of the op stating that some of the forum members are weird, and I was thinking of some of the response...

Well now, that would've been helpful, wouldnt it? It's the 2.9.

Firstly, YES for S80 as a first car (same for me, a 2002)! Secondly, I always thought I had to pop the trunk with the fob button, but there's actually a little release button under the ledge above the license plate. Thirdly, yeah, the seat not moving is going to likely be an electrical/mechanical is...

Cool, I like these answers! Since my last post, I've scored a "go ahead" at a 4-way stop (it was very, very clearly her turn) and I even got a wave today from a Volvo! Sounds lame, but I'm pretty simple, so it made my day. Especially since I was on my way to get a battery for my dying car....

Hahaha, thanks everybody! It's true, there is a huge variety of owners. Unfortunately, I think a lot of Volvo owners here are just plain WEIRD. Like, really weird. My boyfriend has an Impreza RS (non modded), and constantly gets waved at by other Subies. I wave at other Volvos... nothing. I even dro...
