    Rwd volvo s40

    Better off finding a V50 T5 AWD at this point in time.

    It's sad to see he's still up to his old shenanigans.

    Where are the pics of chicks with bricks?

    I have ingrown toenails on my big toes. I had surgery for it a couple of decades ago. My doctor says I'm best off having the toenails removed at this point.

    Extended warranty??? Was: Considering a FWD Volvo. How are the V70's? How are the XC70's?

    The 5 Cylinder won't take kindly to being overheated.

    I've come to really that engine from a driving standpoint. It's smooth, torquey, powerful, and doesn't get any worse gas mileage than a 3.2. It gives the car the feel of having a bigger engine under the hood.

    I think it's the opposite. P2 with an I5 would be easier to service. My only experience with P3 is with the turbocharged I6. It is pretty cramped under the hood and the serpentine belt isn't where you'd expect it to be. I think the P3 has a more vault like feel to it. Better quality...

    I've daily driven all of the above. Specific year ranges of each model are slightly better than others. I avoid P2R models after owning one. My V70R was not a comfortable DD. I think the XC70 T6 is faster in a straight line than a S/V70R. I loved my C30 T5 but it wasn't practical to put...

    S/V/C What to look for when buying a 3.2 P3 car?

    When we had a similar experience with our XC90 rear sensors going off for no reason but there was nothing in message center iirc. There was bubbling and corrosion on some of the sensors. The ones I pulled out were marked FoMoCo. The new ones I bought were marked Volvo. Maybe it doesn't...

    S/V/C What to look for when buying a 3.2 P3 car?

    Probably suffered an accident of some sort. New parking sensors is the only answer afaik. Buy OEM replacements for those. Does it have active bending headlights?

    2004, Volvo C70 2.3 HPT.

    I think the common swap is cams from LPT or NA I5.

    850 Miss at idle

    A dad recently passed away. He had a '97 Volvo non-turbo 850 my mom would like to sell. It was running fine but has now developed a miss at idle. The miss only occurs at idle in Park. It seems to improve while idling in D. Initially, there was no CEL and no codes. Since it seemed to be...
