Just joined the Volvo family this year. My daughter has 04 V70 na and I have 06 V70 2.5T. Looking forward to meeting other Volvo owners and learning more about these great cars.

Not sure how to do this but i have a 1963 544 Volvo I would like to sell Have owned it for about 50yrs. Has a b20 engine i installed from out of the crate and it has i would guess less than 50K on it. I will show a couple pics and can answer question if someone is interested I’m asking 6000.00.

Just picked up another P2 S60 after having been away from volvos for 10 years....excited to dig into it again and glad to see iPD has a nice forum.

Welcome to the forum my friend!

Glad to be a YellowCross owner again after whippin round some other brands. hope to catch a lead or two on some unique exterior mods for Bunny's daily. We plan to mod under the bonnet when the factory warrents dissipate.

Hey, Hey, Hey. It is the Dane (Kunstlerbild as well). Oh sadly day. The S70 (99) is nothing but a memory. All the fine (seriously) IPD stuff like sway bars and blue upper and lower mounts and the recent blue inserts for the front subframe did wonderous things like get that stupid clunk out of the rear end when going from D to R. It was gone I tells ya!
Everything was so firmed up that I thought I was a younger man!
Any how, I looked in my side mirror pursuant to a left lane change and upon looking forward OOOOHHH SSSHIITE!!! And CRUNCH!!! Seriously, why does the #1 lane have to come to a stop when somebody in #4 slows down!!!
So, long story shorter-Heh- There are way to many good and near new things to just let the thing go in it's entirety. Oh yeah, did I mention that I had just done a leak down test, you know, after it sat in the cold for four weeks? Well I did, and it was good. Nascar, some years ago stated that an engine rebuild was good only if it had less than 11% leak down on all cylinders. Well, my poor little motor with only 125,000 on it had only an 8-9 % leakdown on all 5. I never did get to test it all warmed up.
So what's my point you ask? Well, I would really like to find a decent body S70 to swap my stuff to or part this little gem out. That would include four new (1000 miles) Yokohama's finest all season radials and much other new and lightly used premium IPD and other vendors stuff. Possibly (with Kens approval) a computer performance flash. Wow, look at the time. I can be texted or talked to 253-279-8533 for commiseration or what not.

PB is good but Sea Foam Spray may be better..... and add some heat with a small propane torch to the hole.

My mother-in-law started bumping into things in her almost perfect 2005 S60 so we are selling it. 46xxx miles. Is this a good place to sell it? I think the car should bring about $7500. Any comments would be helpful.

I installed IPD sway bars on my 1999 S70 GLT AWD some time ago. Wow, talk about flat cornering! This AWD Volvo is heavy but understeer was reduced 55% and the tires, even with my brisk motoring, are wearing perfectly evenly across the entire contact patch!
It used to make me feel guilty regarding my brisk motoring. You know, like budget guilty. Like my wife is very understanding but us guys know how a brisk driving style would make the outside tread wear excessively. Rounding of the shoulders and reducing the shoulder/edge tread to the point that hydroplaning was inevitable. Also as little as 65% tread left in the center of the tire face.
No longer my friends! I have seen an increase of tire mileage and wet traction by a factor of 3. Wohoo!

It is 10/16/2020
There is so little going on that I hope no one has succumbed to CV19!!! As I requested earlier, does anyone have a set of rims to fit an S70? I prefer round spoke type like on my 1994 850. Must be true and have no serious damage!

Is there not already a way to attach a pic and build a profile?

[Kunstlerbild]

How about a review list for shops in members areas. There are a couple that I would like to warn against in Tacoma WA

[Kunstlerbild]

Are you using hydraulic line wrenches?
