Re: The How "Volvo" is your area? Fun poll

Around here (Marin Co. CA) I think there are more Teslas than Volvos. Almost all of the Volvos I see are XC90's, tho I'm starting to notice a few new V60 wagons.

Do an incremental 'flush and full' as described in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leBtEnEDAtc

My car was showing typical symptoms of 'shift flare' where the 2nd ->3rd shift seemed like it would briefly go into neutral. I don't think the transmission had ever been serviced (111,000 ...

Re: Windshield rubber side weather stip

Revisiting this thread....
I was fortunate to find windshield moldings in good shape for my V70 ( correct color too!). Since I have roof rails they are only about as long as the windshield. And of course,when I removed them from the junker the clips broke.

'Convenience module' programming?

Hello all- Can my '04 V70 remote be programmed to do such things as
- chirp the horn when I lock it via the remote (in addition to flash the lights)
- raise or lower the windows

I had a VW TDI & used an aftermarket/VIDA type connection to do these.

and kinda related- can the radio (HU615?) be set ...

Re: Shift Flare on a 2004 S60

My '04 V70 showed similar symptoms at @100,000 miles. I did a 'full' flush using about 10 liters total until the color changed appreciably, and the problem disappeared completely. So I recommend you start with that- simple & quick.

Bilstein HD front struts- no bump stops??

Howdy- I'm installing HD front struts on my 04 V70. It seems that, since the HD pistons are bigger, the standard bumpstops won't fit with enough room to install the spring seat and mount.
Has anyone installed the HD struts without bump stops? Am I missing something? ( I have both the original and ...
