In Finland Volvos are supposed to get service after 20000km or every year.
Webasto is burning fuel in order to produce heat and it's very powerful also. Downside is the cost and it might drain your battery if it has been used for too long time.
I don't have one but I've...
www.calix.se says that you can only get this model which could be installed into the cooling water line.
Goto ww.calix.se, choose english and pick Volvo/ S/V 70 2.4T and see product RE480
I...
My sources of information says that 163hp and 185hp versions are mechanically the same , differences are in the ECU which is easy to upgrade http://www.bsrab.se/products/n317/t691/. In Sweden, BSR...
Only few SUVs here in Western Siberia. Most people drive cars like Toyota Corolla, Ford Focus etc. Volvo V70 is quite popular amongst larger cars.
That may occur with manual transmission also. Of course, the smell of hot clutch is a little bit different :(
They have been good on cold weather but I have no experience with them on snow.
Sorry, I wasn't thinking much. Since Nokian is made in Finland, we probably get them earlier.
I have no experience in towing a boat but some of towing a caravan http://www2.polarvagnen.se/index.asp?sida=engvagnar&pdf=Polar_620eng_2006_screen.pdf. Its 3800 lbs and I've been towing it with the...
It's not very good to compare Hakkapeliitta 2 to any modern tire, it has been Hakkapeliitta 4 for 2...3 years already in the market. I've had both and IMO Hakka4 is much better than Hakka2.
I have towed this kind of caravan http://www.polarvagnen.com/eng/620.asp . It's 2,5 meters wide and weights 1650kg. With the speed of 50 mph it has been quite easy to steer. My BSR upgraded power...
My car starts when tranny selector is in P, without foot on the brake. It doesn't go to D/R unless I press the brake pedal.
Volvo representatives are not completely honest when they are denying being aware of the ETM problem. In those articles in newspaper "Goteborgs Posten" I referred in another thread, they already...
I've heard (but not sure if it's true) that in Sweden, warranty IS valid despite of BSR PPC.
My brother has 2wd V70 with 2,4D engine and 380 000 km in the ODO. Something has been repaired allready but nothing too expensive.
pbear95, sorry for our traumatic experience. I did a search in Goteborgs Posten archives and found many articles (in Swedish) about the problem:

I have the BSR PPC sofware in the ECU and I'm using euro98E octane gas as suggested by BSR. I'm not sure though, which US octane is similar. I've heard that mileage should be better with higher...
Same here in Finland too. With the exeption that we can drive lower speed tyres in winter like Hakka4, which is Q. More than half of Finns are using studded tyres in winter (nov...apr).
Its a...
Ride comfort is much better with XC compared to ordinary V70, especially on poor road surface. In my opinion, that is.
My BSR mod did have some influence on fuel economy, it got slightly better :)
Tyre regulations may be different in Germany compared to U.S.A. Before getting a set, it might be wise to check, if U.S all season tyres are approved in German winter (I assume they are).
I have...
I agree with XC70Geo, BSR PPC is great.
About engine warming up
It's very common here in Western Siberia that cars have electric heating element (roughly 500W, 230VAC) in the engine plus cabine heater (1500W). Preheating time is 2hr in...
Is there different types of heated seats for different markets? Mine is heating fast and I have to turn the heat of after 3...5 minutes at 0 celsius ambient temperature.
I installed BSR PPC software to my V70XC'01 with 2,4T and I was quite impressed how much the output was improved. Great mod :)
