Wow! It sure does look like a Focus! I spent a month driving a Focus this past summer and I got amazing gas mileage and it was very peppy, no problems whipping out into heavy traffic or merging on...

When I was in Germany, I had a new V50 Turbo Diesel loaner. Going up the long hill from the Spangdahlem area into Belgium, I blew the turbo. It was the A60/E42. The tow truck driver who eventually...

Helped. But someone will jump on here and say something about the MAF getting dirt in it or something. I did not have a problem.

How old is the battery? Some transmission oddities can happen when the battery is aging. CPO might have just stated the battery is adequate, but if it's the original, you might look at changing it...

It's not just the antenna, there is a software download involved as well.

I've had my 2008 3.2 since Dec of 2008 and I get pretty much the same, except for when I had a K&N air filter installed. City/cross town I get 19.5-20 and on the freeway it's hard to tell since if...

Are any of the US spec Volvos equipped with ventilated (Cooled) seats?

Cooled seats still not available in the 2013 XC70? WTH??? :mad::mad:

How big are the kids? Most third rows are for tiny tots and the people I know who were third row enthusiasts have downsized. If you want a usable third row, get a Suburban. If not, get an XC70 and...

And another thing for you newbies who just blew in on the turbo bandwagon: in 2008, the non-turbo 3.2 was the only engine available. So bashing it against your 2012 turbo polestar is ridiculous.

Depending on your radio version, you should have the auxiliary input for the radio. Check the manual for the location on your version. I don't have the high end radio, just the basic one. If you...

So, back to the original question, the naturally aspirated 3.2 performance upgrade. For roughly $1,000 USD, you can get the RICA tuning. By looking at their website, you can see that what you would...

I have an 08 non-turbo with just about 44K miles on it and other than the initial new stuff that needed to be adjusted, I have had ZERO problems. I've just had to get the basic services and change...

I have Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus. LOVE THEM!! Very quiet, great ride, good grip. Like the old Pirelli Scorpions were, not the new version. I don't know how long the tread will last, it is...

Is there any kind of RTJ on this? My AM band went out as well and I have had mine for nearly 3 yrs so I don't think I could get it under warranty unless there is a known problem published like a...

Dang, it sounds like I'll have to go in. It hasn't emptied the tank yet, I used the washer function yesterday a few times and I was waiting for the message to come on that I was out of fluid but it...

OOPS, sorry, didn't see the previous thread on AM radio quitting all of a sudden. I guess I'll have to go to the dealer on this one. However, if anyone has any other info, I'd appreciate it.

I don't have any helpful info but I'm curious to know how you figured it out that the tube was off. I have windshield fluid leaking out of the LHS from the very tip of the bumper fascia. I figured...

No, you're going to actually have to turn the knob. You can put the "Auto" control on so you don't have to be troubled to adjust the fan speed.

I know, probably most of you don't listen to AM radio, but I do. However, I suddenly don't have it. When I push the AM button, the LED display says AM and the station but there is no volume, not...

OH! I forgot, Thule makes the Volvo branded cross bars, etc. So when comparing prices, keep that in mind![thumbup]

I have Thule cross bars and the J-style saddles for our kayaks. These kayaks are the recreational kind that are a bit wider at the beam than open ocean type kayaks and longer than white water...

Plenty of us have the Draw-Tite aftermarket hitch and it works beautifully and involved a lot less cutting of the bumper. I had mine put on in 2009 and as I recall, it was less than $500. It is a...

On the Autobahn outside Cologne I got my US spec 2004 XC up to 119mph. I was "unladen" and standing on it, but it wouldn't go any faster. It cruised at 100mph with ease. Wish I could drive on I-40...

The Yakima Swing Away part that went into the receiver (the draw bar?) was too long for the receiver, the holes would not line up. I would have had to drill more holes closer to the tip of the...
