Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?
Hello everyone! It's been awhile but I've something quite cool to share with you guys! The second of July, the biggest and very well-known car magazine of western Europe, AutoWeek, interviewed me and made a video about my S70. The videos/interviews are called "klokje rond", which we call i...

Re: Parts brands - OE Volvo, trusted aftermarket, and bad
I've got a question about ignition parts, specifically the rotor and cap. Here, in the Netherlands, they mainly sell two brands: Bosch and Beru. The price difference between these two brands is a bit... much in my opinion. There are suppliers that ask 108 euros for just the rotor, where as Beru pri...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?
Did some regular maintenance before my roadtrip to Italy/Switserland, fitted four new summer tyres, changed the oil and filter, new brake pads and rotors, new LPG filter, had the alignment checked. Also did the airbox mod. Car drives smooth and is more responsive to the throttle. What I noticed, tho...

Re: Parts brands - OE Volvo, trusted aftermarket, and bad
So, today I received some disappointing news: the ball joints on my eleven month old wish bones have a lot of play. I've driven them for 35000 kilometers and they're from the Febi Bilstein brand. Had somewhat of the same issue with the TRW brand, but the TRW's lasted longer, somewhat of 50.000 kilo...
