I am ready to buy a very well serviced V40 / 2.0 / 1997 / 81k km.
Are there any serious issues with this model? What are the points to keep an
eye on?
Thanks and best regards,

Our right side wiper is not moving, while the left behaves just fine.
There are no ominous noises from under the cowl plate.  I want to have
the most likely parts on hand when I open this up.  Any experiences
with this?  

Is there a sub-group concerned with XC90's?

My daughter was on her way to work two weeks ago in her 2000 S80 and
had a "catastrophic failure" of the left front ball joint.  Thank God
no one else was around her and she was going only 40 mph--not yet on
the freeway she was headed to. We have had the car 2 1/2 yrs and it has

Hoping that the combined wisdom herein can help me...I parked my 82 DL
3 years ago, and started and ran it religiously for about 4 months,
then got lazy, and every couple of months went to every six months to
once a year...Anyway, after installing a new battery, the engine turns

My car is leaking oil under the engine. It is dripping from where the
oil pan is and where the square pan is that has a bolt in the middle of
it, which is near the oil pan. I don't think it is leaking from the oil
pan bolt because it has a new brass gasket on it. It looks like it is

Got a 1994 940 Turbo Estate.  More and more regularly now it's cutting
out.  Tacho drops to zero (even if the wheels are still turning the
engine) and Lambda light comes on.  Leave it a minute or so and it will
restart and drive normally - until it happens again.

Anyone know what's going on with Brickboard? It's been off-line for a
few days.

I was having a few problems and suspected the flame trap so I got
great advice on how to locate and clean it on Volvospeed/Bay13.
Good news: the flame trap was pretty clean

Ok, got my voltmeter wired up finally - went to fuse #6 because I
thought that one was on with the ignition only, and it had a free male
connector.  The meter stays on even when the car is off, however.
Anybody know what fuse I can use that IS only on when the ignition is,

There is a "service campaign" for the electronic throttle system (ETS)
and electronic throttle module (ETM) where they actually put in a new
program that ignores errors by the ETM.  If they need to replace the
ETM, it covers that.   It is not techically a recall, but "VSC 155

The past couple of days, our V70 (turbo, AWD) has stalled a couple of
times when idling at intersections.  The car can be restarted, but the
stalling appears to be increasing in frequency as the week has
progressed.

Hi;
I have the sound of a badly adjusted tappet coming from the B6304 3L
engine.
When listened to inside the car it sounds like the old air compressors

I have a 1989 760 turvo with the stereo-cassette combination.  For the past
year the radio will come on sporadically.  It goes off and comes on whenever
it pleases.  The antenna does not function when the radio is not playing.
Any thoughts?

I'm looking to replace the existing interior in my S60 D5. When I
remove the front seats I'll need to disconnect the airbags and then
reconnect with the new seats.
Does anyone know whether I'm likely to get problems with the airbag
