It first depends on what years and models you are looking at. There were some dark days (for almost all manufacturers) from the mid 1990's to the mid 2000's. Since then, Volvo has had very few...

Thanks all for the input. Pirelli turned out to be the brand I could get readily and I asked about the P7 that was mentioned. I was told that the old P7 has been updated and called the Strada. I...
Good to know, thanks.
I searched the threads here and only found one discussion on tires from a couple of years ago where a Continental tire was praised.
It is time to replace the tires on my 2012 XC70 T6. I bought it...
From what you are describing, yes. As far as I know the XC70 pretty much matches almost all of the specs of the MDX. I do know the XC70 towing to be limited to 3500 lbs, I don't know how that...
Hey thanks, I'll look for those. Had a weekend filled with timing belts and water pumps on our 240
I have a 2012 XC70 T6 with the HID / Xenon headlamps. When I turn the car on the headlamps always move up and down as they self adjust, but they seem to settle in aimed way too low. This has just...
Hey, thanks. I read that thread from your link. I've been less concerned lately and just learned to deal with it. The electronic throttle idea makes sense.
I might first inspect the engine and / or trans mounts. That might be the simplest possibility to start.
I always read certain car magazines, on and off line, and I rent A LOT of cars for work (average 100 per year). While I see the Volvo sticker prices escalating, so are everyone else's. I do rent...
That is interesting, where did you find that?
That blue is just about my favorite color. When we were shopping we found a black '12 that has been great so far.
Wow, alright. Thanks again for the info.
I think/thought my car's receiver hitch was the Volvo accessory but it only has the 4 pin flat connector. Sounds like I'll have to investigate that just...
Right, at the base of the wiper arm (the pivot point) there should be a cap that will flip up and that should expose a nut. See if the nut is loose and tighten it
Did the O'Reillys do a load test on the old battery first?
Let us all know in a few days if it's cured for you, please.
Also, how many miles are on your car?
Thanks a lot. Good info. I have saved the link to that hitch.
Did you do anything to the rear suspension on the car to handle the weight?
Did you have any trouble wiring trailer brakes? My...
The biggest difference to me is whether an actual trained tech will do the oil change or just a lube guy. Most new car dealerships have the lowest guys on the list doing the Lube/Oil/Filter (they...
Wow, this post is amazing. I looked through almost every page and didn't see something I wondered about.
What was the full loaded weight of your trailer and did you use any special stabilizing...
It's hard to know your "shudder" but I have had a similar issue a couple of times with cars with glazed rotors. A polish forms on the surface. You can turn the rotors (a little extreme, unless they...
I just ordered one, also. Looking forward to getting it delivered.
"I would do that timing belt ASAP, I think you're overdue. Since you're going to tow, I would go with an auxiliary trans cooler and keep on on making sure your fluid is fresh (Gibbons wrote a great...
One would hope in all averages it would work that way, if it did the 'warranty' company would go out of business. They can't possibly afford to pay out more than half or two-thirds what they take...
In my experience, making a car CPO entails a more thorough inspection in the shop, and the cost of the extended warranty from the manufacturer. I have seen and heard of cases where a red flag in the...
I believe Sachs was the OEM supplier for that component. I have never been very impressed with anything Monroe here, second rate and cheap. Do you have any European specialist parts house near you?...
The filter and included lines to the filter always seems to take close to .5 quart, so at around 8.2 that seems reasonable. I wonder if the dealer wanted a whole extra quart to get the extra little...
