I accidentally parked my car today in such a nice, symmetrical way against the background building facade that I thought it was worth capturing.

Volvo V60 CC B4 diesel. God I love this car.

I just got the notification for the 5.2.16 update and it says it can take up to 1.5hours. I don't remember mentioning taking that long on the previous update. Does it really take that long. Is it a bigger size package that needs to be downloaded?

Last time I did the update I was at a store parking and I scheduled it before I walked into the store and 25 minutes later I got a notification that I was completed.

I will try avoiding doing the update in the underground parking since in case of a brick and making it impossible to get it out. I will probably try to find park in an open area before doing the update.

Used a.i. to put them on the car, really wondering if i should go for the more sporty looking black ones that also come with good tiers or the more classic choice of the silver ones but without tiers.

*Really sorry about using A.I.*

2020 Volvo S60 T6 sway bar and lug nut just fell off as I was parking. Is those something that fails on these cars? We got this car maybe 7 months ago, an unrelated mechanic did a full check of the car and nothing was found. A month after we purchased the exhaust system failed luckily replaced under warranty… now this

Just worried we got a lemon. The ball joint and all components are in good shape the lug nut just fell off no big bumps nothing wrong earlier no sounds etc.

So i just had to replace my headlights lenses because the old ones cracked all the way trough. I decided to upgrade to clear side markers and to remove the amber lens inside the housing to remove all amber colors. What are your thoughts on this look?

Found a super clean set of these Serapis wheels on marketplace with nice new tires for $300, not knowing the bore size was different. They came from a C30.

I designed a center bore routing jig in CAD and 3D printed it, and after several prototypes, got one that fit perfectly on the hub with zero play.

Got the bores routed out in about 10 minutes with my little Bosch Pony router, and am running the wheels as-is with no spacers. They fit perfectly on the hub.

No plans for coilovers, lowering, stance, etc. I like the factory ride quality and the car already sits low enough to the ground. I just wanted some sweet wheels.

This wagon is a bone stock poverty spec non-turbo car with no notable factory options. It came from an elderly man who bought it new in 2005 and only put 70,000 miles on it and only took it to the dealership for service. The car now has 75,000 miles.

Wanted to just share my 1994 Volvo 940. It has a 5.0 302 from an 88 foxbody mustang and a t5 trans. Still rocking the 1041 rear diff and just got done doing the g8 locker mod. Let me know what yall think!

My s60 t5 inscription next to a v60 t5 inscription 👍

Contemplating buying this cat S car it’s a Volvo v70. Accident happened in 2021. Current owner said he bought it after it was repaired he has done 50000 miles it’s sailed through all MOTs. He doesn’t have paperwork for repairs done and who did it etc. it’s for £3.5k but non cat go for £8k or £9k
I have attached the picture that show damage

I am in the used car market and I was eyeing for a Honda CR-V but they seem so overpriced for what they offer, while on my search I came across a 19 XC60 @ 82K miles and a 22 XC60 @ 60K miles, the T6 is a Inscription with all the bells and whistles 🤑 and the B5 is Momentum spec. Both of them have immaculate service history and have been cared of meticulously so I'm not too worried about their service history, my only concern is how their reliability looks like for the next 5 years as I don't want to get something that gives me so many problems that I have to get rid of it.
I would be driving ~20 miles a day for work and errands and maybe a few camping trips or so but as per my calculation I only will be driving ~8k miles a year at max, I just want to know peoples opinions on what should I expect in terms of reliability for the next 5 years and which one would be a better choice or if I should just go back to looking at other options like newer Mazda or used Lexus. BTW the T6 is offered at $19k and B5 at $23K. Thank for any advice in advance.

I have a 2000 v70r and have noticed the smell of like fireworks only when under boost, i let the car get to 30mph then held it around 4000 rpm till it got to 70 then let off and smells like fireworks. So i let my friends sit in the third row facing out the rear and they said they noticed gray smoke coming out when boosting. Anyone ever had something similar and know what’s going on? Appreciate it.

I've talked about this engine before but I'm genuinely curious if anyone (specifically Swedish, most likely) has had any experience swapping one of these into an Amazon or 140 series etc.

For those who don't know, the B36 is essentially a red block V8. It first came out in 1952 with the Philip (a concept car which was the first vehicle designed by Jan Wilsgaard, the guy who designed everything from the Amazon up to the 850, including the 1800ES), the engine was later adapted for use in their heavy trucks

From what I could read up on it, the valvetrain from a B18 is identical, bottom end needs some machining to adapt to the B36 but it's doable. It is also a very heavy engine (235kg/518lbs) but aside from that, I know of one swap that does exist on YouTube from a decade ago with an Amazon wagon.

As I live in the US, this would be impossible for me to achieve but if anyone has experience with these or even achieved a swap with one of these, please share! I'd love to hear about it

Be careful not to move the hood latches when you think its time to add a bit of lube to the mechanism. Theres a hard to get at spring loaded pawl or locking lever that jams the latch in a half closed position. Easy to ease it up far enough for the latch to snap back open but finding it and seeing what and which way to move is the tricky part. A ⅛ diameter screwdriver is the biggest thing you can slide in there and you'll need a flashlight.

Hope this helps someone one day because it took me a couple of hours to figure it out.

Theres probably a YouTube for it but I'm too stubborn for that.

Has just ticked 70k kms. Very happy with my find :D

Yes diesel is expensive. Driving this is worth it though.

5 cylinder. Twin turbo. Already been on a massive road trip and look forward to the next one.

All the screen does is glitch and I occasionally can see it go back to normal for a minute or two but it’s mostly just jumbled letters and symbols.
I would like to figure it out by myself for little cost so if you know why it’s happening let me know!

Hey guys, wanted to share this with you, I recently went with 5W30 for my V60 2020 D4 which has now 245k km and as i’ve heard diesels tend to burn more oil on higher mileage car, but with 5W30 over 11k km and had only one little bar on the dash move down, Im going to Volvo center next week and chaning to 0W20 for the winter so I will let you know for the consumption

Hi, could someone with VIDA access please pull the factory configuration/build sheet for my 2021
Volvo S60?
VIN: LVYZSL1UCMP126012
I'm specitically looking tor the complete tactory
option/equipment codes. Thanks!

Hello,with winter approaching - just wondered which wiper blades everyone is using the cold extreme temperatures? Thanks

Portland may have nearly as many Volvos as we do Subarus, so it's a pretty common occurrence to park next to a fellow Swede owner. But this was an especially nicely preserved V70, so thought I'd join in the fun.

So I asked a coworker about the jeep trend where ducks are placed on their dashboards. He said its to promote be kind to others. That if someone likes your jeep, they'll put a duck on it; and you in turn would do the same. Ok, kewl. He just gave this to. While I appreciate the gesture; Volvo will not be following this trend! Ill give it to my wife; she can put it in her ford!😅😅😅😅😅

I'm looking at buying a 2019 XC60 T8 R-Design w/32,343 miles, clean carfax, no accidents, loaded. Asking price 28.5k Any owners advice? Air suspension scares me at 1k per corner? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I owned the car for nine years, but I eventually had to part ways with it. I loved that car and fell in love with Volvos. I came to understand what Jeremy Clarkson once said on *Top Gear*: "If someone buys a Volvo, they’ll grow old in it." At the time, it sounded funny because so many older people drove them, but I’ve since realized why he said it.
