A friend's 940 has been overheating occasionally for quite a while now
requiring the heat to be cranked up in all sorts of weather to keep it
out of the red. He eventually tracked it down to the electric radiator
fan occasionally not starting but I haven't had a chance to ...

While instructing my younger son, who'll soon be licensed, to change
the rear pads on the 93 940 wagon this past Sunday, I found the
passenger side caliper had a piston stuck.  I have him install it
anyway so the car can be back on the road.  The new pads won't go in by

I have a 94 850 non-turbo with an automatic transmission.  About a month ago
I had the transmission fluid drained and replaced twice (the car has 138000
miles on it).  The transmission normally works fine, but lately, as the
weather has turned colder (about 40 degrees overnight) ...

--- I have TERRIBLE reception on all but one powerful AM station.
This is a fairly recent development.  For 2-1/2 years I had no problem at
all.  Then the quality of AM reception began to degrade.  I became aware of
a factory "fix" involving a brass strip Volvo authorized its ...

My 740 non-turbo sedan is completely down/undrivable   (been asking
questions about that one, too!) Thanks for advoce on that one!  I also
have a 92 740 GL turbo wagon that has been loaned to me by a brother.

I frequently run the seats all the way forward and backward when vacuuming
the interior. During the last cleaning, the driver seat was run all the way
back but stopped responding (no sound or movement) in the forward position.
All other directions are working fine. At least it is ...

A friend of mine has an '04 or '05 Volvo convertible that spun out on the
highway hitting the jersey wall. I don't know any details yet regarding the
damage. She said the dealer had to use a special machine to unbend the

All,
I have a 1999 S70 with the 2.4 litre normally aspirated engine. Last
week the check engine light came on and there was noticeable misfire at
most engine speeds. I took the car in to the dealer and the OBDII codes

On a 98 C70.  Right now the car has bigger tires than recommended. There is

You all remember my nightmarish ordeal getting the fill plug out of
the M47 tranny. The plan was to remoive both plugs and replace them,
using synthetic tranny lube. Nowhere in my area sells the Redline
product for the tranny so I bought the Mobil 1 product for this

I have a 95 960 volvo. We have been having a problem with the winter mode
