I came across a great site months ago for Volvo 740 owners who
like to do their own repairs,  which had the procedure for reading out
fault codes. Mine is  an 89 Volvo 740 GL. Remember how to do it, by
moving the jumper wire, but cannot find my printout of the codes. This

I recently replaced the windshield wiper blades on my 2004 XC70 for the
first time.  When I removed the old wipers, I noticed that the drivers
side wiper had an air scoop that the repacement Bosch wiper did not
have.  I assume that it is there to keep the wiper in contact with the

I hear noise from the rear when I drive at 120km/hr. The noise lasts up to 150 km/hr and than disappears.
It is kind of like differential or bearing grinding noise.
What could be the reason. Maybe not enough fluid in the differential, or bearings. Anybody else had this problem?
The ...

I bought a S40 back in May... and I already put a bad gash into the door
well area. Basically my seat belt hit the paint and it chipped badly.
My 2001 Honda Accord had extremely durable paint that didn't seem to paint
- but the Volvo seems to chip really easily.

Greetings everyone.
I am buying a 1995 440 2.0 GL with 108 BHP
The car has only driven 128000 kilometors, and looks really nice, does
anyone know what i should be looking for in this model?

The driver's side wiper on my V70 (2002) stops about two inches before
the left edge of the windshield. Can the wiper be adjusted to provide
better coverage?

  It seems to be an ignition power problem. It is the 8-valve
non-turbo engine.  
  Our mechanic just worked on it, to replace the rear main seal
(only). He had problems starting it...and we have had problems

The plating has worn off the side of my 98 S70 ignition key and rust
is forming. What is the best remedy?

The dash in my 1998 S70 squeeks to the point of driving me crazy.  One
guy has looked at it and says the mounting bolt on the passenger side
has pulled out.  He has tried to secure the dash with nylon tie wraps
from inside the glovebox.

My first time in this group so please forgive me if I get things a little
muddled.
I have just taken delivery of a 1992 Volvo 440 Li 1.6 which is in really
good condition for it's age.

The Service light on my car goes on for several minutes when I start
it.  I've had the oil changed, but not at a Volvo dealer.  When I asked
the dealer about it they tried to convince me it needed a $770 periodic
servicing done.  

I was riding in the passenger seat of my 2001 V70 estate, my wife was
driving which makes a change.
The electric window was about half down and I decided to close it, to my
amazement the window went down not up and stayed down.   The window did not

My '01 S60 (51K miles) has a curious hard start problem.  If the engine is
cold (as in overnight cold) or left for less than about 5 min, it'll fire
right up.  If left for more than about 5 min up to all day, it takes 5 to 10
sec of cranking to get it to fire - sometimes longer ...

I have a '98 V70 GLT which started making a howling/fan noise when the
car is started after sitting a while. It doesn't seem to be related to
the engine RPM and it shuts off after 15-45 seconds. I called the
dealer and they said it is a vacuum pump in the braking system which
