Hey guys...

I noticed which changing my oil on my V50, I noticed the little 6" rod that is hooked from the suspension to be hanging.

I know I have the same on my XC70.

The top part of the...

Super, thanks Art! I knew the XC guys would come to the rescue!

Hi guys...

First of all, I apologize for posting in the XC70 forum. I previously posted in the 'other cars' forum, but I'm not getting any responses. Incidentaly, I posted on 2 other V50...

Hi guys...

I've got a right side front wheel bearing on my other Volvo that has started making some noise and I would like to have it replaced.

I can get the part no problem, but would anyone...

Hmmmm...good point. Although the circumstances were such that the car was out at -11C all day, we went out to dinner and then came back to the car without any sunlight, so no chance to heat building...

I don't know...I will check next time.

Noticed something strange this evening...

The temp was -11C tonight, so pretty chilly. When we got into the car after having a bite to eat, my daughter in the rear seat said that she was cold. ...

Well...finished sawping out that rad last week.

The job went well I guess. I mean, it's pretty tight in there, but doable. Turns out I dropped the rad and the intercooler from the bottom. ...

Is there a bleeder or procedure when filling the cooling system back up?

Anyone know the coolant capacity off hand? I can probably find this out in the owner's manual or somewhere though, but if...

Got my rad out last night. A bit of a pain. The intercooler and the rad came out both from below. I thought I could get it from the top, but the plastic brackets on the side of the rad, where the...

Awesome Dave. I'm going to send them a note right now.

Thanks!!

Shoot...looks like I need a supplier for my rad now. My guy shut down his operation.

Any thoughts on suppliers? I'm located in New Brunswick, CANADA, but has UPS and a broker so shipping from...

Super, thanks!

I'm going to take everything apart tonight. Then hopefully I'll hear from my local Sweedish parts supplier to see what the price and availability is. They probably have one in...

Ok, some tranny fluid. So is the trans cooler attached or part of the radiator, or are the hoses just in the way? Any recollection how much you used? I don't want to stock 12 quarts if I only need...

So 6 bolts sounds not too bad.

Does it come out from the top or the bottom? Other than the connections on the rad, do you have to remove/disconnect anything else or is it just fishing it out?

Crap. My wife hit a snowbank today as the roads were pretty slick and wasn't able to negotiate a turn in our subdivision. Speed probably wasn't more than 20km/h. The snowbank though was hard as a...

I was able to get there from underneight. Although, on my 04, I think maybe there was only 1 pump for the front headlights and windshield and then one for the rear.

At least, that's what I seem...

Yep...I do. Actually, gotta do an oil change this weekend actually.

Kinda crazy question, but have to ask: Are you running antifreeze in it in the winter?

Low refrigerant charge? You'd need to bring it to a A/C shop and get it checked out. I'm not sure if there is a visual bubble on the line to see if you have enough fluid.

Yep, those bulbs are a pain to change. I just recently 'upgraded' to the following:

They are pretty bright. I also upgraded the rear cargo light and my...

What about a turbo diverter valve failed? Mine was line that on my VW and sounded like a duck call. Or perhaps a vacuum line disconnected or chafed?

I don't think that you have to remove the bumper. At least on my 04 I didn't and I was able to test the pump and swap leads etc. from underneight.
