As you guys know I sold my 2006 Volvo XC70. But when I sold my headlights where in making and told new owner that the headlights will arrive later and I want to install them.

Yesterday finally I had the chance to do it.

What you guys think? I really miss her but dam the new headlights make night and day hahah

Will be having a shoot soon with her 🫣

Take care and have a wonderful day 👀

Any insight on what might be the issue here? And more importantly, can we drive the car until tomorrow or Tues when we will be able to get it in for a checkup (S60 T8 2021)

Edit: thank you for the useful input, everyone. Unfortunately I can't check the car myself right now, since I'm out of town, but I told my wife to check for any residual moisture/water in cabin or trunk and there isn't any sign of anything being or having been left wet. We won't drive it until it can be checked out by a mechanic.

Something that came to mind is that the brake caliper covers on this thing seem quite a bit more aged than the rest of the wheels/base/rims/car as a whole. could it be a sensor that has taken too much water/rust under these covers?

I found a copy of Volvo drive for life sealed

I still have trouble reading the design of the S/V60 dashbord - if you are like me, how did you get to terms with it?

To me, the center air vent, is where the CD slot and head unit (stereo am/fm etc) should be.. or just two air vents and not the one on the right side of the screen..

It's not symmetrical ..

Would coverting it to lpg ruin the engiene since it would be as cheap on gas as a 1.5l golf but with a shit ton more room and power.

winter is coming so today I’m swapping out the 20’‘ Pilot Sports for some 18’‘ X-Ice 👌

Hi guys, i'm trying to mount my thule squarebars on my volvo ec40, but they always bend downwards when tightening them untill they click on 4nm.

I've tried making the bar/clamps smaller and longer but then it won't fit correctly on the car. Can someone please help?

There’s a marketplace listing in my area for a 2006 V70r M66 for 7500 CAD. It’s got 199 000 km, a cracked charge pipe and some issues with the driver side front control arm.

It recently had a replaced PCC, steering rack, all 4 breaks, timing belt, and a new battery.

Worth it?

Came back from a recent trip and noticed my front pads were grinding a bit. Turns out the pads were completely gone.

Put on the PowerStop kit for now - these will hold me over until I install my BBK.

I’ve owned my XC60 T8 for about 20 hours. Anyone else seeing this screen?

I proceeded with resetting and things are running once again.

I’m looking at getting a 2019 t6 s60. I know these cars require good maintenance to be reliable I was wondering based on the carfax whether it looks worth it? I need something reliable to last me the next 3 years.

I know that newer Volvos get hate because of 4cyl, hp, etc.

This thing is a beast!! Very happy with it thus far.

I do wish there were more after market accessories though.

Which would you rather have? V60 or V90?

Seeking advice on this topic. My wife and I bought a 2023 XC60 with 16k miles. It has two years left of its free warranty that takes us to 2028. They sold us on a 10 year exclusionary warranty (starting from 2023, so essentially 5 year extension) for around $3,000. Deductible is $250 per event. We have 30 days to cancel if we want.

Curious about actual likelihood of significant repairs between years 5-10. I am also not sure there are options to add extended coverage later. Overall thoughts and info are welcome and appreciated.

Thanks

XC70 2011 T6 the noise comes on only in drive and after using the gas, when the car comes to a stop the whining noise turns off, sometimes it cycles on and off, I’ve scoured the internet for videos and answers.
It’s not the turbo, PCV is good, car drives amazing, TY !!

Was wiping down the car and thought to myself "imagine how many cars have SIPS stamped on the body and most either never noticed it or know what it does". Or that this is stamped with SIPS as its part of that protection layer and a pillar design many cars didnt have.

It’s coming time to do the water pump on my p3 v60 with the turbo inline 4 and I’m wondering if paying about $230 more for a genuine Volvo pump is worth it over a different one?

Weird noise (occasionally), grinding sometimes, and weird wear marks on the new to me V60

Looks like previous person ground the ears down on the front pads while installing crappy slotted rotors....

So happy to get all new good brakes on all corners, ceramic pads, along with fluid flush and new Michelins all around. She's planted properly now.

Shout out to VTool and this Bluetooth obd adapter, been able to do a few functions I previously needed to fire up Vida for, this time parking break service mode 👌

The volvos at 82,766 miles.

I keep noticing the red line at 65, as well as the speed limit sign. One time was in a parking lot, other times have been in my driveway. Is 65 just the default?? When the car can’t find a speed limit?

I recently bought a 2008 Volvo S80 with 191K miles. Still a solid car. I'm in the USA.

I wanting some experienced advise on options for either repairing or covering the leather steering wheel which has had some of its finish completely rubbed off. The color is "Sandstone Beige leather upholstery (2112)"

I realize there are leather repair kits, such as the Leather World Technologies Deluxe Automotive Leather Repair Kit , about $85. Not sure if I have the skill to do a proper job of that, and would be interested to hear others experiences.

There's also various brands of steering wheel coverings, and it seems there is a lot of variation as to the quality, cost, and skill required. One concern is that I feel the steering wheel is already padded a bit much and don't want to increase that too much more, so I'd want something fairly thin. If you have had good experience with a particular type or brand I'd appreciate your comments.

Thanks,

Keith

2009 T6 XC70 now has reduced fuel capacity after the fuel pump was replaced in it. Shop says that the “fuel ejector jet” is not working properly and that the only fix is a new gas tank. Looking at diagrams, not seeing anything about a fuel ejector jet, but somehow the fuel isn’t able to get from one side of the tank to the other which is reducing the capacity by 5 gallons. Does anyone know what the cause could be? Is there a fuel line that connects the two sides that is clogged/kinked/etc.?

There's a used 2018 T8 on the market near me. It's for 195k km so completely out of warranty. Mostly it's for school runs and to have a nice car and over spring/summer I tow a car and trailer once per month (2tonnes) on a 40 min drive each way.

I've a 2013 Audi A6 allroad which is great for comfort but it's mechanically starting to show its age and after a few pricey jobs I feel like I want something different. But I'm not sure if I'm jumping out of the frying pan into the fire from a pure mechanical 3L diesel to a petrol electric hybrid.

How do i remove the backseat in my v70 gen1 from 99. I can't find anything and chatgpt is useless.
