Have you seen the new Subaru Tribeca commercial- at the end there is a
car carrier hauling a load of cars- The semi pulling the carrier
appears to be a Volvo with thw grill modified- the slash of the Volvo

If I wanted to have a diesel engine Volvo is there a better engine
besides the six cylinder VW one that gives much trouble which fits a
Volvo without too much major surgery? Would a Mercedes or Toyota work?

We are moving and I need to tow my 850 to our new home.
Is there anything that would hurt the car by using a dolly for the 2 front
wheels and letting the rear two follow along?
Any tips?

Anybody out there got higher mileage, and it's still a daily driver? Please
reply...
Thanks!

As I mentioned earlier, I picked up my 240 yesterday. It was a 160
mile drive home so I got to give it a good run, in 100 degree weather,

Hi all;
   My mechanic and I have been discussing what is the best way to slow down

Hi guys and gals ;),
My 89 Volvo 740GL now at 140K miles won't start. When you turn the key,
it will behave as if it's in the gear not in the park or neutral. So
not even a starter motor action.

My 2002 Volvo V70XC (Cross Country) cabin fan turns on and runs at high
speed a few minutes after I turn off the vehicle and runs at high speed
for an undetermined length of time (I've never timed to see how long).
This only happens on hot days when I park in my garage after running

I'm looking to buy a new used car and I'm giving the Volvo wagon some
serious thought.
I was hoping someone could give me a list of all the model id's for the
wagons.

screams. after a few miles the disk/roter is almost red hot& at times

on my 1991 125.000 miler volvo 960 3.0 24v i notice that when i am
starting out for the first journey of the day the rev counter has a
tendency to stay on the zero position even though it moves when the

My 2004 XC70 seems to have a slip or hesitation when going from what I
assume is 1st to 2nd gear.  It doesn't happen all the time though.  It quite
often happens when making a turn from a stop sign  .I feel it when the car
approaches 20mph at 2000RPM's.
