Looking for an "extra" set of wheels as dedicated snows for my 2016 P3 XC70 T5. Wheel-size.com states that the OEM wheels are: 7.5Jx17 ET55 7.5Jx18 ET55 8Jx19 ET55 Each has a stated offset range of 53-57mm. So, I think I know what I'm looking for; however another swedespeed member has a set of 7.5Jx17 ET43 from a C70. He's convinced they'll fit/work on the P3 XC70 w/o spacers. I'm just concerned as I've... (Yet another) Offset Question ..read more

I’m pretty new to Volvos. I’ve thought well of them for many years but never owned one. My wife and I are considering buying a 2013 xc60 3.2 premier. It’s got fairly low mileage, but that particular year has some bad reliability ratings. I’d assume the reliability would be about the same as the 2012, but maybe not? Id like to have this next vehicle for 5-10 years. Any thoughts on the reliability of this year? I know maintenance will be a little more expensive on an older car but I do the...

Hello All, I just purchased a CPO (~7k miles) 2023 S60 Recharge (T8 Plus Dark, Black Stone) and extended the warranty for 9 years, so I'm planning to be here for awhile! A couple quick glamour shots, for your enjoyment. I tend to run dedicated winter tires and have a hard time leaving cars stock (see below)... Car came with Pirelli P Zero all seasons, which I will run in warmer months until they need to be replaced, but will be investing in... New to Volvo and PHEV ..read more

how long are the batts generally good for? What might the cost be to replace one? If I bought a CPO 2023, what might I expect 3 years later, when I'd probably sell? I gotta think longevity is both mileage and age based ..read more

Hello, this is my first post. I have a 2018 S90 and I am out of warranty. I just spent $2200 for the starter and backup battery. They wanted to do a fuel injection service and more. I did not do the fuel injection service, so was wondering if anyone did it, if it’s necessary or if there is another option like fuel injection cleaner. I would appreciate any input. Thank you ..read more

I'm looking for a V70 to take a transmission swap from a rusty M56 S60 whose clutch slave failed on me recently. My only hard requirement is that it have a black interior. 2.4NA, slicktop, cloth, and white or red or Mistral or Barents exterior are all bonuses. Probably the ideal candidate is a car starting to show signs of auto transmission weirdness, but still driveable. I will be crossing (by car) from Los Angeles to upstate New York from late this week through early next week and can... WTB black-interior P2 V70 (transmission quirks OK ..read more

I have a 2015.5 XC60 T5 front wheel drive. I squeaked in under the grace period for warranty piston & ring replacement with both vehicle age and mileage. Since then I haven't burned a drop of oil in about 15K miles. Recently I was overwhelmed by the rotten egg catalytic converter smell on one short drive. I show no codes or misfires. It has not happened since but it got me to thinking, how much damage was done to the cat burning all that oil before the piston replacement? I...

I saw others posting that if you contact volvo support they will give you a discount toward the polestar performance upgrade. Do I simply just contact them via their website and ask for the discount point blank? I am getting my v90cc serviced and have a t8 s60.I know this power train is different than my b6 but I am enjoying the power mode. I am coming from a RWD vehicle and think I would enjoy the upgrade. Thanks, G ..read more
