Saab finally died so looking into Volvo’s. Ive always heard great things and I drive about 400miles/week so figure this should last a while. I was originally looking for something CPO or a wagon(like everyone else) but they’re a little more pricey than what I’m looking to spend right now. Is this a pull the trigger price or are there concerns? I know people really like the T6, but it looks like there’s also more that can go wrong so I’m not sure if I’d be better off looking for a t5 reliability wise.

I have a 2022 XC60 Rdesign with 21” wheels. I’m looking at Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 tires. I’m in Florida. Thoughts?

Which grille do you like better?

Hey all, I’m looking to I put some aftermarket rims on my 2023 V60 CC. I’d like to actually put some larger Volvo OEM wheels on the car. This is my only newer vehicle through with all the modern hoopla and when I called the dealership to ask if anything would need recalibrated after putting on different rims they told me that I cannot change the wheel/tire size on these vehicles without messing up some of the “systems”.

This seems incorrect to me but maybe I’m misunderstanding something. I see plenty of you folks on here with cool aftermarket wheels. So what’s the deal, what do I need to do in order to do this and still have the vehicle work normally?

Just writing this as a sort of goodbye to our beloved 2014 XC90 D5 with 390,000 kms (barely broken in if you ask me /s). Didn't think I could be so sentimental over a machine but this one has seen and created so many fond memories in our families lives.

From being the car me and my sister learnt to drive in, to bringing home our animals as well as driving them to their final place of rest over the many many years we've owned it. Its even pulled a bull that fell halfway through a concrete septic tank out with ease (alive don't worry). You can see the other Volvo's that I bought which were pretty much lemons, making the XC90 the only consistent car I've driven. It has been an absolute workhorse. Whether its next buyers are backpackers or it's used as a paddock basher, it'll put a smile on anyone's face. Especially because of the orthopaedic seats, omg the seats. Can't even say that about the new Volvo's having sat in them at the dealership. They're unmatched in simply being able to melt into a seat (sorry newer volvo owners)

Anyway, I thought I'd like to share some of the memories made as I get it ready to sell. Thanks for reading!

I really like the look for the 18? V90 CC rims. I’d love to pickup a pair for my 2018 XC90. I’m having trouble finding the compatibility across vehicles (offset?). Looking for any help as to how to check, and if they work, advice on the best way to buy a set. TIA.

Heya! Just purchased a V70, unfortunately it let me down not far from home base. Drove fine for about an hour before the gearbox freaked out. Started losing gears until it eventually lost them all. A message about gearbox service appears on the dash, seems like it went into limp mode? Engine revs in each gear but doesn't go anywhere. After it sits for some time and i turn it back on, the gearbox works fine or only drive or reverse works for a few minutes until it starts slipping again and stops working. I could notice alot of weird sounds while engaging each gear. Could it be that it overheated and caused more extensive damage? Either way im most likely in for a gearbox rebuild or replacement.

Also noticed, it likes to blow a little white smoke under load/boost. Turbos gone?

All this started happening once everything warmed up. While it was cold it seemed to run perfectly.

Wish me luck with this caravan! 😁

Hi there,

I'm divided between radically different cars: a Porsche Macan 4 Petrol (2024), a Defender 110 P380 and an XC60 or an XC90.

I love Volvo's interior and its understated luxury. Nothing flashy, but exciting and stunning interiors.

I love the Defender's presence and interiors, especially the fact that it keeps the buttons that Volvo has removed. However, both Volvo and Porsche win both in safety and dynamism in the road. I love the countryside but I doubt I'll ever use its off road capability. This is however, my dream car. But once I get it, I wonder if I'll regret it.

Then you have the Porsche Macan 4 petrol (2024). The only thing I do not like is the fact that it doesn't have any options for light interiors, where I am from. I do not want a black car, whether inside or outside, ever again. I want light and joy in my life.

I'd love to hear the stories of those of you with a similar taste and cognitive dissonances, who made a choice. How did it work for you?

Thank you for reading and writing!

I got quoted $1500 for Michelin X-Ice + snow with removal and install for my 2018 S90.

Seems pretty high but I need winter tires

I bought a 2005 V70 Ocean Race last weekend and am working my through the multitude of issues. Replacing the broken HU-850 will at least mask the panel rattles for a while longer.

On eBay there’s a couple going for £200-ish which seems a bit crazy to me. I want to keep this original and avoid any double-din stuff, and am having no luck at local breakers either.

Has anyone managed to find replacement clips for the rear pillar vents? I didn't realise until a quick pull away and the vent fell out but I have 1 missing!

See his post.

Anyone know where to locate a replacement for these 2 plugs. There for my ignition system and I cant seem to find US sources and a squirrels chewed my wiring harness. This is for a 2017 volvo s60 polestar

Hi im wondering if a s60 2.5T 209hp 2005 would be a good daily driver as i like the car quite a lot and would rather bave petrol than disel but i wonder how much does it realisticly consume on open roads not highways while driving nicely at around 100kmh in 5th gear or even on highway at 130-140 in 5th

Thanks

Are Evaporator leaks still an issue on 2021+ Volvos. I’m seeing they were a prominent issue from 2016-2020 and that they supposedly redesigned things starting in 2021 to prevent freezing and cracking of the evap lines but has that fixed the issue in 2021+ models?

I bought a CPO 2024 xc60 a little over a year ago. I love the car but one thing that drives me nuts is how dark my back up camera is at night. I literally can’t see anything unless I’m breaking (and that’s bc the red tail lights provide some additional light). I mentioned this to the dealership last year when it was in for routine service and they said they did an ‘update’ that should have helped but it unfortunately didn’t.

Has anyone else run into this issue and know of a fix? For what it’s worth i previously owned a Hyundai and my husband owns a ford, both cameras work/worked just fine in our driveway when dark.

Randomly found this picture on the internet. It doesn’t look edited or AI generated. Do you think Jeffrey actually owned any rwd volvo or he was just spotted walking by?

In my 2012 xc90 I replaced the cabin air filter. Unfortunately as I was putting back the panel cover (the large panel under the glove box), I could not find the T25 screws. Would anyone have any suggestions as to where I could find replacements?

Hi everyone,
I went to inspect a 2012 Volvo V40 T3 1.6 petrol today because I’m considering buying it. Everything seemed to be in great condition, but I noticed an unusual noise coming from the engine, which made me hesitate.
I’ve attached a video so you can hear the noise.
Car details:
Volvo V40 T3 1.6 petrol
Year: 2012
Engine: 1.6 turbo, 150 hp
Mileage: approximately 187,000 km
Manual transmission
Does anyone recognise this sound or have any idea what could be causing it?
Could it be something relatively normal, or could it indicate a mechanical problem that might be expensive to fix?
I’m interested in buying the car, but I don’t want to risk purchasing a vehicle with a potentially serious engine issue.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello! ive never posted here before but i figured if anyone has any knowledge this would be the place to look. I have a 2012 volvo c70 t5 and lately whenever i push the gas it tends to get stuck around 2 rpms and then shoot up to about 4 after a few seconds of pushing the gas harder… along side this its been slowing down lately and rarely whenever i attempt to accellerate quickly the car will lose power in its acceleration for a few seconds and then suddenly regain it and start accelerating quickly which is very inconvinient if you need to speed up to switch lanes etc. if anyone has any ideas what might be wrong with it id greatly appreciate the advice!

On the one hand I really like it visually but don't know how reasonable it actually is for me, as far as reliability and additional costs and all that. And it is fairly old at this point. The particular car I'm considering is listed at roughly 3k USD with 280,000km on the clock. What would you say to a layman? I know a lot depends on the exact car and its issues rather than the model, but in principle.

New to me! Excited to be an owner - Questioning if the ride is lowered vs what it should be as a stock cross country 🤔
