A couple of weeks ago I bought a 2005 S40 T5. My first Volvo, and I
love the car, but the rear view mirror is quite small. I'm having a
hard time adjusting to the low visibility compared to my last vehicle,
but have yet to find any replacement mirrors that can be mounted to the

Greetings.  My 1989 760 turbo recently started squealing.  A look under the
hood revealed that the A/C compressor clutch is sometimes "grabbing" on the
compressor body, and throwing off sparks.
Would that mean the clutch is failing, or the compressor itself?  The A/C

I'd like to trade my 94 850 turbo wagon for a 2005 V70R, but I need to
be able to read an interpret any fault code without a trip to the
dealer, like I can with my 94.  
Generic OBD-II scan tools only do emissions-related codes, and don't

It's about time to retire my Passat, and I am considering a V40 ( well
a V70 too, but my questions are on the V40)
What platform is the V40 built on? Is it pure Volvo, or joint venture
with Ford and/or Mazda, and if so, which Ford/Mazda models share it?

Hi All;
I have a 95 960 Saloon and on the drivers (UK) door pillar is a
warning:-
Pyrotechnical tensioners need changing after 10 years.

My 94 850 passenger seat is not responding to the power controls. It
will rise a bit and tilt forward a bit, but no forward or back. Memory
button 1 seems to work. Is there a way to reset the memory? Maybe with
the diagnostic LED system? Or does it require the Volvo OBDII reader?

Hello Volvo experts,
I have a volvo S70 - 1998 Non-turbo model.
Problem: AC is not working all the sudden - It worked couple of weeks
ago.

Well no matter how many times I warned her, my wife continued to spill
coffee on the control panel located just under the cup holders.
Guess what?  The windows do not work quite right any more.  Surprise!!  I
had the sales man and owner of the place where we bought the car tell my

with Gun Gum how ever it keeps blowing it out after a week or so.  Does

Question... I am think of buying a 1991 740 Volvo for my daughter to
drive around town and to school.  I was wondering if the safety
features of this 1991 car are comparable to today cars. Compare to

Hello Volvo experts,

So, I did the following test.

Hello - I just purchased a 1995 850 with only 43k in FL.  This will be
a first car for my 17 yo daughter.  Every thing works great with the
exception of the cruise control which does not engage at all.  I am
driving it to MN next week and it would be nice if the cruise worked.

I got a good deal on a used engine delivered to my house with AW70
attached.  It was described as coming out of a '91 240 wagon, and
having only 100,000 kms on it.  I have a '92 with over 300,000 kms so
