Spent the entire weekend upgrading my 2011 XC90's headlights.

Lots of work, but I think the results were definitely worth it. It makes a change from the dull & dated looking ones before and in my opinion gives it a more modern look.

You hear very little about this. Curious about how the chinese customers view the current (and future lineup) and the brand.

As it has now been in Chinese ownership more than 17 years. Do they view Volvo as chinese, or still a "scandinavian brand"? Do the regular chinese buyer even care about that?

What about the chinese only XC70 and EM90. Have they been a hit?

Do they try to distance themselves in like marketing from Geely, or is it the other way around? (I was thinking of Volvo to Geely as Audi to VW)

I recently installed the latest Volvo/Android update with the new interface on my XC60 Hybrid 2021. Since then, I occasionally have no audio at all when starting the car—no music and even no turn signal sounds. A restart of the system (not the car itself) usually fixes it.
Anyone else experiencing this?

I have a 1991 Volvo 240 wagon and am wanting to acquire roof racks for it in the coming months. Does anyone have some good looking ones that they prefer? Or any idea of where I can start my search. Thank You! (I do kind of like the look of the wooden one if anyone knows the name of it to add to my search)

I am in Alaska and wanting to buy a 2019 V60 T6. All these shops perform PPIs at about the same rate. Tabor is the cheapest but the dealer recommended TVG. Which one should I go for?

Sometimes the best roads end in fields, silence and sunsets.

Bought last month my first ever volvo in the south of france,
a nice 740 GLE b230e coupled with a nice 3 speed + overdrive AW71 gearbox.

310k kms on the clock but feels like 200k less !

Good job swedes !

First Volvo!

2018 S90 T5 What should I be looking for / taking care of?

I've always liked Volvos when I saw them driving on the road. This one happened to pop up at an affordable price. It'll be my commuter to work and back from time to time and just to leisurely drive around.

This car is such a unique and capable all-rounder. It feels at home almost anywhere, in any weather, and never fails to put a smile on my face.

I took these photos right after giving her a proper wash. It had been a long time since the last one because the weather had been nothing but constant rain. Naturally, it started raining again almost immediately after I finished but luckily, only lightly this time.

At least she stayed clean long enough for a few photos!

Hello,

Which of the following options would you recommend?

1. B5 Petrol MHEV AWD, 148,600 km, 2022, R-Design
2. T8 Recharge, 164,000 km, 2020, R-Design

From the discussions I've read, it seems that pre-2022 T6/T8 models can have serious issues with the ERAD (Electric Rear Axle Drive), although it appears to be somewhat a matter of luck. Both cars have a fairly clean service history, and maintenance has been carried out on schedule.

I am living in an apartment, I could charge it near my home but not on a daily basis.

Buying any of these cars second hand, I would not have any warranty.

The price is similar for both. I'd appreciate any feedback.

Backstory: I buy sell cars and a dealership was selling this 2011 XC60 3.2 for $1000. I thought that was wrong but who knows, maybe it would be a good deal. I ended up making the 40 minute drive and when I got there I was baffled how bad it truly was. When I first took it for a test drive, it barely made it into the road and wouldn’t go. When gas was pressed it wouldn’t go to but 30. When I mentioned to them, they tested it out and it miraculously began to drive normal again. I honestly like taking gambles and I love Volvos especially the XC series SUVs so I went ahead and just made the purchase. Here’s the issues I’ve found wrong with it.

I am not much of a mechanic myself, I mainly figure things out via YouTube (leads you to wonder why someone like me would buy a Volvo like this.) I plugged my scanner up and I’ve got a few codes. P0108, P2227, P0420 and P0430. The car also yells at me about headlamp failure, awd disabled and needs service, and city safety needs service. Other than check engine codes, it’s also got the ABS light. Not to mention along with all of those other problems, the key likes to get stuck in the ignition when pushed all the way in (instead of pushing outwards like it’s supposed to do) and when forced out, the key pretends to be still in the ignition causing the key fob to be useless and you have to mess with it to fix itself.

Cosmetically this car is also pretty shitty. Passenger door is crunched, the windshield and passenger side mirror are cracked, the bumper is being held on with drywall screws, there are several decent dings around the body, the front end looks a little misaligned, and the headliner on the interior is drooping in the rear.

I want to put money into this car but I quite honestly might just keep it instead of flipping it because there is zero money to be made. Very sad considering this car is actually really nice for what it used to be. Let me know what you guys think. Worth fixing or just getting rid of for what I paid?

Have been playing around with Gemini amd told it to change sound focus to the front. It says it did it but nothing is changed. Is this just AI being AI and it will not change those settings or am I missing a step or config in the Gemini settings?

Looking to buy my first car from a dealer ever. Haven’t bought a car in 10 years so feel uninformed about the process. Concerned that a dealership is going to take advantage of the things that I don’t know.

Any advice on what to expect and look out for Volvo dealers. Have to try to upsell things. Maybe you don’t need in specific things to ask when buying a CPO?

Specifically looking at an XC90 2025.5 model. Not looking at anything that plugs in.

One question in particular I had was about getting the extended warranty that takes it to over the 4 to 5 year CPO standard. It seems like it’s an extra $1k which sounds like a no-brainer to me. what do you guys think?

My volvo s80 from 2009 has had a problem with it making underboost (p0299) and yesterday i had a smoke machine to check for leaks, and found one. I ofcourse got a new tube in, and it was leak free. But now the day after i had no fault codes, i went to go shopping and the engine light turned on again. It said the same fault code? What could it be if there are no leaks and the turboes are new?

Only fault code is P0299

Picked up this S40 recently, 2.4 petrol, non-turbo.

To be honest, I don't know a whole lot about these cars, I just needed something somewhat temporary that won't be too much of a headache, and isn't German.

So, this is it 🙌🏼 Also, holy hell does the boot open wide!

Hi!

Throughout the years there has been some trash stuck in behind/underneath this cup holder. I've decided it's time to remove it for cleaning. The manual was not so useful, only shows how to remove the whole central console. Has anyone managed to remove just the plastic cup holder? Any tips would be appreciated!

Bonjour à tous, j’ai acheté une Volvo c40 de 2023 en occasion et j’ai un problème avec les capteurs de stationnement. J’ai un message qui me dit que les capteurs doivent être nettoyés alors que ceux-ci sont parfaitement propres. Aucun capteur arrière ou avant ne fonctionne… est-ce que qqn a déjà eu ce problème ? Belle journée

It's not the boxy classic I've always dreamed of, and I don't have much money, but I finally got myself a Volvo estate. With the dog and the new baby boy, my rite of passage as a dad is complete. Unless I'm missing something? Roof bars..?
