Appreciate it sir :wave: - thinking the simplest solution is to take the worn threaded part to a muffler shop up the street and just have them weld it to the hole. :e-shrug:

Hello my friends. So I have a 2001 C70 with OEM lower chassis braces. The front part of the bars are held in place by a bolt that screws into a threaded compression fitting insert - insert goes into a hole on the frame and once the bolt screws into the fitting during initial installation it...

They are intolerable at traffic lights - make my fillings ache. Weird I used them before on the 240 then moved to hawks on the 240 and C70. Hawks were bad hence the upgrade to the PFs which are ten times worse. :e-shrug:

Sorry should have mentioned FWD my bad. I used Hawks for ages and they were only slightly less noised than the Porters Running larger brake upgrade - slotted and drilled on a C70 Thanks for the feedback really appreciated - these pads suck noise wise - though great performance pads

Apologies I am sure this has been covered a million times but search function on here isn't the best. Have to take the Porterfields off they are squeaking horribly and driving me nuts - what are folks using that are a low noise performance (street) pad? Thankns

So I have a 2001 C70 that has a transplanted 2004 C70 Motor (old motor=B5234T3 new=B5234T9). Here's the question: when replacing the Fuel Control Module am I looking for one for the 2001 motor or the 2004 motor? Or does it matter. I guess the core of the question is - does the module vary...

Anyone have preferred power antenna mast replacement for late 90s early 2000 power antennas? I've been using a brand from FCP but have found I need to grind down the bronze base a bit for it to fit. Just started getting a grinding noise out of the replacement I installed (I seem to break the...

GF is looking at a 2012 V50 T5 R - any pitfalls to know about? Thanks :wave:

2001 C70 A bit odd - not infrequently at a cold start the car is getting no fuel, if I give it a few seconds it starts, starts even more quickly if I use the accelerator. Problem started when I did my engine swap, at that point it was just a brief hesitation and it seems to have gotten...

My new side-kick drives a 2011 C30 R. Check engine light came on and her motor is showing "lean codes". Her mechanic says they would need to do 4 hours of diagnostics at $125 an hour to figure out the problem. Any of you Volvo sages familiar with common causes of that code that might help...

Any ideas? Fuse is good and I can hear the relay click when I push the button, just nothing happens. :e-shrug: Thanks

Are there color codes available for Volvo interior trims? Want to paint some trim pieces and don't want the whole trial and error thing.

Anyone have a preferred battery terminal connector for 2003 V70? Thanks

So my ignition lock cylinder needs to be replaced. Dealer wants $500 just for the part and over $1000 for complete installation. So I can have my local guy do the install on a cylinder that's not an issue - but is there a more cost effective way to get a new cylinder. I think they have to...

Looking for a cost effective yet adequate car cover for outdoors for my P1800 Suggestions? Thanks
