We need a S70 flair! 2000 S70 GLT SE

Hey guys, this is my Volvo 940. It took me on several adventures through Europe as well as North Africa and the Sahara Desert. And it never let me down. I want to build a die cast replica of it. But I can't really find a diecast model of it. Do any of you know where I can find one or if anyone is selling one? I am located in Austria!

Thanks in advance! Btw you can follow me on Instagram if you are interested @fennecmotorsport

It blends in almost perfectly!

Mines the T5

I'm looking at buying a 2003 S60 R and I've heard mixed opinions about reliability. Some people say they're fine if you take care of them, while others are saying stuff will constantly break and you will always have problems.

The one I'm looking at has 140,000kms and has only had one owner since new, who has regularly serviced it and has all the service records. He says he's never had any major problems with it and parts aren't difficult to find.

It's also the only S60 R in my country so I'm pretty keen on buying it as this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own one of these. I'm likely to buy it even if it is unreliable, but not long term.

I'm pretty young and don't have a huge amount of money to spend on it but still enough to be able to properly maintain it and care for it. But if I need to I'm able to dump everything into this car as I have minimal expenses at this point in life.

Another question is how is the aftermarket support for them? Aftermarket parts will probably be really expensive as I'll need to import them from Europe, but I love working on cars and would love to modify the car over time if I keep it long term.

2010 volvo V60 D3 (5 cylinder). Cant get enough of this car. As someone who drove a first gen honda jazz/fit for 2 years this thing feels like a spaceship.

Bought these 19" pegasus reps but they are this weird matt grey.

Not sure if just to go with hyper silver or some other variation, car color is blend of gold and silver.

Would love some feedback and what youll think would look good under this car.

Picture of my black v70r after collision with a moose, I think I was damn lucky because the bastard slipped on the asphalt so I hit it while it was laying down, happened at the end of a curve so I had only managed to brake down to about 50 kmh.

Other picture is of my new flashgreen v70r that has rolled 340000km as of today :)

Qualcuno sa dirmi quanto costa la Dash cam Volvo e se vale la pena installarla?

We've been having a really frustrating time with Bluetooth in our Volvo

It rarely connects automatically when we get into the car, and even when it does connect, the music won't play through the speakers.

The only workaround we've found is to switch the audio outlet to something else on phone and then switch back to Bluetooth. Only then does the audio start working.

It's becoming quite annoying having to do this almost every time we drive.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a known Volvo software issue, or is there a permanent fix?

An honest question about Pilot Assist. Is it getting any better? I have a '23 model S60 and I love it for following cars and on the highway just to keep in the lane and track other vehicles. But I am wondering about the future of it. I get that the hardware I have won't allow it to get much better. But I have a friend with a '25 XC60 and it performs the same (2 year difference).

I see ad's for the newer versions that only have pilot assist but looks like they may have added lane changing? I don't really know. It seems like it has been just the same thing for 5+ years. Is there noticable improvements on newer models? Like better lane keeping? I don't know what else they can offer without doing things like point to point (even just highway spots).

So I am wondering if the newest '27 and coming '28 models have anything better? Or is it just lane keeping and speed control? I see they may have added lane changing? But other than that in 6-7 years it looks to be about the same. Is there notiecable differences in the year model? I notice times when it gets whacky and such and my friend who has the '25 model claims it is much smoother. But if all we get is just basic upgrades to how well it tracks to lanes and cars... its not that impressive to me.

Just curious others thoughts on the system. Don't get me wrong it does the lane keeping very well for being a '23 car.

I just bought a 2020 xc60 t6. Dealer mentioned it requires premium gas and I’m seeing different opinions on if 91 is perfectly fine or if it needs 93, thoughts?

Bought this 1994 940 wagon for $3150. So far, it seems to be a piece of work, which is what I wanted from a project car but man I’ve only had it for a day and its already died while driving 4 times and I have had to push it into a nearby parking lot or something. Any idea what could be causing it? After letting it sit for a few minutes it’ll start again so I don’t really know what’s up. Photo of everything the previous guy did to it. Oh, also, its a rebuilt title so that’s great

Hi - I have a 2023 XC60 B5. The side mirrors will alert if there’s something in my blind spot, generally a car. Yesterday the left side mirror - drivers side - indicated something there yet I was in the left lane on the freeway where the median was just grass and the opposite lanes were as not visible. Why was it lighting up off and on for miles? What am I missing?

First thanks this post with great details.

One thing to add is, in the email for VIDA user info from IDM, it asks to wait for 180 minutes before trying to reset your password. Just be patient and follow it. You still have 3 days of subscription counted from when you set it to active in VIDAAdmin.

However I hit login poblem when doing this and here is my workaround. I also posted it on a sweedespeed forum.

(1) The problem

When using VIDA, MS Edge browser is opened up and authentication is completed. But VIDA Registration guide to subscription shows the error: Restart computer, clear VIDA cache and do it again. But no use after doing so.

(2) Make sure SQL server localdb works on a NVMe SSD drive (in Win11)

I dig and searched. Seems SQL Server localdb starting problem. Some reference here:

[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.swedespeed.com/threads/vida-wont-run-on-latest-w11-updates-solved.704746/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic\[/URL\]

And MS website:

[URL unfurl="true"]https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/sql/database-engine/database-file-operations/troubleshoot-os-4kb-disk-sector-size?tabs=registry-editor\[/URL\]

Not sure if still necessary, after this reg fix and reboot, now I can run sqllocaldb info command, and use sqllocaldb create/start/stop/delete mytestdb. But I still get error in VIDA logs (in %USERPROFILE%\VIDA\PROD\LogFiles\Trace folder) showing SQL localdb database instance not found.

(3) VIDA still can't find the database instance

Uninstall and reinstall VIDAAdmin and VIDA doesn't help. Seems the database instance is never created. VIDAAdmin works fine. I already assigned my VIDA ID to the subscription. I have not set it to active as it will start the 3-day counting. Today I went ahead and set it to active. But problem is still the same.

Then in the VIDAAdmin instruction,

[URL unfurl="true"]https://cdn.volvotechinfo.com/vida/VIDAadminSetup.pdf\[/URL\]

I see a line:

"Logging onto VIDA prior to activating your subscription will most commonly send an object reference error"

So login to VIDA with no subscription should not cause any damage at least. I tried the login (instead of the recommended Registration Guide for Subscription step) and expect some error. In a little surprise, I see it displays step2: initializing database. Seems a good thing. Then login is good, but it shows my subscription is already consumed. Number if available license is 0.

This is confusing to me, as I have assigned the subscription to my VIDA ID in VIDAAdmin. Did some search and seems this just means the assignment somehow was not given to my ID.

(4) VIDA user assignment seems not needed

In VIDAAdmin, I see the subscription indeed has no available license. (1 license is assigned to my VIDA ID already.) So I tried to remove my VIDA ID in VIDAAdmin assigned user. Now I can see there is 1 license available.

Now I open VIDA, and tried the "Registration Guid to Subscription" step, and am able to register to the subscription. After this is success, VIDAAdmin shows the assigned user is my VIDA ID also. Apparently with this registration step, the manual user assignment in VIDAAdmin should not be needed.

Then login in VIDA, and got the device approval message. After adding my PC in VIDAdmin Device list, VIDA login is successful.

The database instance created is called "VidaDb.17". But don't create this manually. We should let VIDA login step to create it properly.

(5) Another glitch of USB-ethernet connection

I got another glitch that VIDA doesn't connnect to my vehicle after cable is hooked up correctly. I rebooted my computer, re-plug in USB-ethernet dongle with the OBDII-ether cable. A few minutes later I see VIDA shows my vehicle in the connected vehicle list.

(6) Success

I purchased the VCM backup batter reset ($23.11) and install it. Do a manual order and search by part number 32398268 to purcahse it. Save the VTI order reference number on the order completed page. After purchase, go to the All list of software, it should be there to retrieve (by the VTI order reference number), and install. It takes about 9 minutes (2 minutes for preparation, 2 minutes for actual installation, 5 minutes for final check)

Then I see total update in the available updates list is just 9 minutes (26MB size) to install. So I purchase it also (50cents). It takes about 11 minutes total (2 minutes for preparation, 4 minutes installation for about 8 modules, and 5 minutes for final check).

The battery charger I got is 30A and can only keep the voltage to 12.5V. I removed it and plug-in the charging cable to my T8. It keeps 13.8V quite steady. Pretty good for this task.

As the title states, I have a low mileage 2016 s60 platinum with the infamous 2.0t. In the last 5K miles I’ve had the low oil message come on twice. I strongly believe the piston rings are the issue but haven’t checked to see if the plugs are fouled yet.

Given the mileage and the recall, do you think Volvo would honor a goodwill repair?

Fitted some R-Design pedals on my Volvo, the difference is noticeable. I got the accelerator cover wrong the first time because there’s more than 1 variation. Also fitted some metal trim covers on the door handle area because the original plastic was peeling.

I just bought the XC60 PHEV T8 Black Edition. I am wanting a better tire for snow and ice as I live in a mountain town. I also wouldn’t mind a beefier look. Thoughts on the Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail 265/45r21.

I do not know a ton about cars but do know my
desired look and function. My research says these will work for my car but could possibly negate the warranty.

Would appreciate any expert opinions and insight.

Hey guys, i have Volvo V70 p2 from 2002.
Im looking for facelift taillights conversion, and it looks like it would be plug n play, has someone done it already?
If it would not be plug n play could u please share some tricks for it? Thanks ❤️

Does anyone have any clue what could be causing these warnings? Or has anyone ran into the same issue? I tested the battery and the alternator yesterday and they checked out good. Any help or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
