What do you all think of our camping setup?

This is our 2007 volvo v70 p2 the D5 ran 240 000km (150 000 miles) so far. We use it right now to camp in France and Spain. This is my first car, our old family wagon that I got from my dad. I couldn't be happier with it, no big issues so far and really spacious. The car really shines on those long distance drives, where you need reliability and comfort.

Hello Volvo community, I am at a loss currently with my 2017 S60 T6. I have been tracing a battery drain problem for months, I just put a brand new AGM battery in after the old one died due to excessive drain. At first I thought it was the SiriusXM module, so I took it to the Volvo Store, only to be told the CEM needed an upgrade. The next day, they told me the Driver Power Seat Control Module was causing excessive drain, they said they'd need to replace it, I was not particularly wanting to add $1k to my already high bill, I declined it. I see the module is only $160 new, my usual mechanic says he cannot program it himself. They've disconnected the seat in the meantime to drain. Is the dealer my only option?

Recently I inherited a 2021 subaru forester. It's a fantastic car, i have had some brilliant times with it. It currently only has 30k miles on it.

Most of my life, I have been a volvo wagon owner. I currently have a xc70 project sitting in my garage.

I love my subaru, but it's a little bit too much for me. All the electronics, power everything. It doesn't fit my needs as a mechanic. I feel like if it ever breaks down.It's going to be a pain in the butt to repair, and also expensive.

I'm really thinking about pulling the trigger on selling it. And buying another used volvo as my daily.

In my experience, both of my volvos will probably last twice as long as the subaru.

I need some support chat. Tell me i'm not crazy for wanting to sell a modern day top notch subaru car for a much older volvo.

Hi I have just bought my first volvo, does anybody have any advice with aftermarket stereo setups? I have a cheap and cheerful screen connected atm but would rather something that is actually integrated into the car. Any pictures or advice would be much appreciated :)

Have never had a Volvo and need a a new car under 10k.

Both are about 8k

I am also looking at a 2011 or 12 xc90 130k for about 6k.

Please let me know your thoughts

The EX60 costs less than a comparable EX40 (which has 2/3 the range and 1/2 the charging speed, only a little more than an XC60 and $20,000 less than an EX90. I have to imagine this is due to significantly less manufacturing cost, probably from the mega casting process?

A year ago I did a 10hr round trip from Seattle to Spokane to get my S60, she’s never seen that many miles in a day since 😅

PNW suits her very well 😌

Still loving the AST springs

Here's a pic of my long boi

She ripped around the corners and the AWD made it so much better.

SOLVED

Hi,

We have S80 ( 2008) and we noticed that air intake tube came of and it's somehow too short. If we put one side in, the other is little bit in and it comes out again. Is there any solution except buying a new part?

I just replaced my speedometer cluster in my xc90 as the backlight had gone out. I bought one from a recycle yard for $80 and installed in about 10 minutes

The cluster works as expected but I am now seeing a warning for suspension failure and am wondering if it could be due to the unit being pulled out of a wrecked xc90

I see the suspension warning on the dash and in the system messages and was wondering if anyone had dealt with this before, and if there is a way to clear it

I realize there could be a suspension issue as the car has 150k miles on it, but since I didn’t see the warning before hand, wanted to ask here.

So as per the image I've got the classic park assist cleaning needed fault, all the sensors are clean obviously. A front one looks to have a bit of a stone chip however with various parking positions and having a tight driveway, in the 5-10 seconds before the warning comes on at startup, I have seen every single sensor functioning on the 360 view before the message comes up? I'm booked in for a sensor replacement but...which one is it or is there something else?

Hi Im a younger gentleman from the south thats looking to buy my next car to replace my older car (Chevy cruze) I have a budget of around 4,500-5,000 I am wondering what years/models should I AVOID. I enjoy volvos because theyre the only car around me that seems to make the most wagon models.

Looking at buying a 2015 Volvo XC60 T5 premier (5 cylinder, 2.5L) with 70k on it. I’ve read about oil consumption / piston ring issues on other XC60s of that era, but does anybody have experience with this particular model?

Hello, I currently own a 2016 v40 and I love it but I would like something more spatious. I was looking at a few v60s but I'm a bit skeptical about the hybrid sistem(I tried to look for normal ones but they're almost impossible to find). Any tips, opinions and details would be much appreciated.

Hi folks. 2016 s60 here. I was on a trip this past weekend and after about 200 miles, the ABS/ESC light came on. Next day, get in the car and it flashes up, but then goes away. About 100 miles into the drive home, it comes back on. Next day, when I turned the car on, same thing - the light flashed on and then went away. Now I haven’t seen it come on since because I haven’t driven long distances.

Is this something I should go to the mechanic for now? Wait until the next service?

So im in need of a set of roof bars for my V40 (2017 r-design) and am struggling to find a set that im confident will fit.

Has anyone got a set that fits well and looks half decent? Looking for UK suggestions please :)

The driver side lock quit locking with the rest of the car. If you open it while locked the door opens and the alarm goes off. I’ve used the emergency key blade to reset it a number of times, and it would be good for months after, but now it’s happening every time and needs the manual key every single time. Do I really have to go to the dealer and bang out 80 thousand dollars to have it fixed or is there a simple way to do it myself? Idk if the lock needs changing or if it’s bugged out or what. It’s not letting me post a picture

Which is the proper replacement these seem to have different dimensions in height and width.

Can’t wait to pick it up & join the club like to go camping often and have a tent box so cannot wait to get that bad boy on the motor n head off to Peak District this weekend but I would like to know if there’s any problems these models have that I should be on the look out for?
I know to check for the ISG belt and to make sure the AC & heat works well & to check that the car plugs in and charges but are there any other things I should keep an eye out for?
