Hi guys,

I am wondering. I have a start-shudder-stall issue with my XC70 2005. My mechanic told me it is the PEM.
I brought the car back home with the PEM from my 2007 V70. They dont have the...

Here's mine with 18" wheels.

Picture was taken prior to changing the front suspension. It now sits 2" higher than pictured. Not as good looking now... but we were nearly 200k so...

Hi buddy...

Also consider EEuroparts.com
Great prices ! Hard to beat. And they are far more knowledgeable than they might seem, give 'em a call.

Hi guys,

Selling a fully functionnal HU-650, very clean (could say MINT).
What about 60$ US ? Make offer. I can ship anywhere.

Hi guys,

The latest addition to the barn, the XC70 R, still has the original suspension (226,000 KM).
On my previous XC (MY05), shocks/struts were gone @ 185,000 KM.

I do not feel safe with...

I had alot of expectations about Akebono pads but I was disappointed. To the point I had to change them.

The V70 I bought last year came with brand new Centric rotors and Centric Posiquiet pads,...

Hi guys,

Just found a nice used Alpine 4x 55w amp locally.
I will be upgrading my basic setup. Is it safe to disconnect the speakers from the radio and run it w/o speakers load ? I guess the amp...

Had the same issue 3 years ago.
No OBD code or Check Engine, but VIDA provided immediate guidance, it was the RPM (Crankshaft) sensor.

So.. when you put in D, it moves a few meter then slips ? Then you go back to P and then again D and it drives again ?
Can you into Reverse ? Does the car move (as in Neutral) when you're in Park ?...

Failing RPM (crankshaft) sensor also does that.

Thanks. That's what Im afraid.
That looks perfect in the pix, but if it drops by an inch again.. that's too much for me.

JRL, the pic you posted looks great. But I am wondering... you said "before any settling", so is it lower than the picture now ? When that picture was taken ?

I am now in the market for V70 AWD springs. Now, we go camping a few times a year, fully loaded, with a tent trailer. Shoud I expect some tire rubbing ? I dont want this.

Hey bill, thanks for the info, very appreciated!
It has the stock turbo, so its a custom tune (let's say 2 1/2)...

I tell you guys. Forget about those greasy/temporary products.
If you want it BLACK, you have to use either paint or DYE --> Forever BLACK.

I am not affiliated. It simply works.
Clean it with...

Here's what I found :

Volvo OEM part Front coil spring : 8634328
Volvo OEM part Rear coil spring : 8634340

Both for V70 AWD, not XC.

Thank you very much mate.
I searched for V70 AWD and came up with some different ones, but strange thing is they list them same as the XC70 regular springs...

Thanks JRL.
I checked some places. FCP shows the same item for both V70 AWD and XC70...

Do you know the exact part # that I...

Fun, yes!
Next thing is to refresh springs/struts/shocks.

Height is perfect right now, but new XC springs will raise it by a inch or 2 certainly. It will look strange.

Hi guys,

This is our latest addition to the barn...
A 2005 XC, fully customized, R-style and performance.
A gem, truly.

Sapphire Édition
HU-850
Fully equiped (excep Nav)
Park Assist

I am about to do the same here. Just bought another XC w/ 18" wheels. A new suspension is required, the height is now superb but with stock springs, it will look awful.

Swapped this...

For this...

Snabb intake, RICA 2.5 tune, EST 3" downpipe, fresh cat, R dual exhaust, 18" wheels, IPD strut brace... and sapphire edition interior. Simply...

Wow... I'd love to find a spot like that in my area !

Hey all,

As far as Proparts versus Scantech... I got some info : "all they did was buy some old scantech stock which has all...

Yeah, pls do so. Many people start threads for trouble/issues and dont post their results... that's not fair.
