Greetings a.a.v
This might appear an over-cautious attitude on my part but I thought it
better to ask, just in case ....
The rear windscreen washer nozzle on my 1998 V40 is well and truly

On my 1996 850 TDI station wagon with automatic transmission - is it possible to
empty the ATF completely by draining it from a gearbox bottom screw similar to
the engine oil? Or is there something always remaining inside? Or are there
models without draining screws?

per our '97 volvo 960 wagon, we had the oil changed at a drop-in
mechanic/tire shop chain a few weeks ago and, about three days later, the
engine started idling rough. a mechanic friend of the original owner (he's
out of state) familiar with volvos said that non-volvo guys who ...

I am thinking about having my windscreen on a 1996 850 station wagon changed at
a non-Volvo repair shop. Does changing the screen need any interference with the
airbag systems (SRS)?

I need to decode the VIN number: 2444A1583166.

worn out so I'm confident that it's causing my gas mileage problem.

Today I finally got good weather and had a deep look in the car, I
flushed the radiator. Actually took out, and washed it from the inside
and out, got some dirt out, but not much.

Got a 1990 740 Turbo with an assortment of interesting problems.  When
started, half the time the SRS light stays lit.  When this happens, the
wipers and radio (and lord knows what else) don't work.  The radio is
stock, and hasn't been replaced or messed with as far as I can tell.

I have had my V70 2002 for only one week. bought from very reputable
dealer with flawless service history. Drove it fine this morning then
parked in the driveway. Went to put the car away in the garage and it
will not start. All the dash lights go on (no battery problem) but will

Does this plastic plug ($2.49) insert from the inside or outside. In other

but need to replace the plug which blew out.

Has anyone found a successful way to integrate an ipod into the 2006 XC90?
Since the antenna is in the rear of the vehicle, I suppose a FM
transmission solution doesn't work well.
