Saw this lovely brick and had to take a pic

Spent Sunday detailing my new to me car - got a 22 used and it was so well cared for in its lease it may as well be a new car. So excited to be part of the club!

Last one’s a bit obvious but had to include it 😂😂

Bought my first car earlier this year in January, 2018 V60.

I am 28 and just got my license, I live in a city where public transportation served my needs for most of my life but after having a kid a realized I needed a more reliable way to get around.

I ended up doing a bunch of research into vehicle safety and decided that volvo made the safest cars on road. Hope ya'll like it!

After almost 10 years of dreaming and researching on it, glancing at it on the roads (still do), to the day I have the keys to it...never leaving Volvo! #VolvoForLife

Perhaps a bit of a risky first car at 19 but we’ll see how it goes haha

My dad‘s 1959 544. Frankenstein resto from I think four different cars.

This post from r/bigbadstoops from 2022 saved me yesterday. Likes and comments are disabled for this post so I wanted to show appreciation and to put it out there that this still works! It was a bit further down the search.

Door lock / child lock issues on 2021 xc90

 At some point today the door lock for the rear driver side door stopped working while my SO was picking up the kids. When I arrived home I found that the door wouldn’t open from the inside or the outside. I did some reading and found out the issue could occur if a child was pulling on the handle when the doors were unlocked. 
  I found that specifically if they are pulling on the handle while you disengage the child locks this will happen. In order to fix, the steps are as follows. Push the child lock button to engage it(the light will come on), then push the unlock button. The door should be back to normal.
 After doing some initial reading online, I was worried I would have to take it in for service. Lots of stories about door locks needing to be replaced. Hope this helps some folks out.

Just got the rims last week, got a 3 inch downpipe with a high flow cat last night. going to upgrade the exhaust with 3” cat back and hopefully tune it in May once Hilton tuning starts accepting new orders. Add resonators to taste. 240K on the clock. Bought for 2k have replaced alot on this car to keep it chugging reliably. Think I’m ~5k into it so far.

Hi all, first car and first Volvo, just bought myself a C30 R Design 1.6. Two questions, does anyone know whether you can open the boot from the interior and are you able to program the key to open the boot and the doors with the unlock button rather than just the doors? Cheers!

How do I remove this bit of trim from the spoiler of my xc60? Just go at it with some pry tools? I want to do this because I assume it gives me access to the rear window washer nozzle.

In the early 1970s, Sweden sought to establish itself as a neutral mediator and trading partner with countries on both sides of the Cold War divide. As part of this effort, Sweden became one of the first Western countries to open diplomatic relations with North Korea. This diplomatic breakthrough was soon followed by a significant commercial agreement: North Korea agreed to purchase 1,000 Volvo 144 sedans, along with various other industrial goods, including mining equipment and paper pulp, totaling about 600 million SEK (roughly equivalent to 200 million USD today).

The Volvos were delivered to North Korea in 1974. These robust, reliable cars, renowned for their durability, were well-suited to the rugged terrain and limited infrastructure of North Korea. They were intended for use by government officials and in various public services. However, the anticipated payments from North Korea never materialized. Despite numerous reminders and diplomatic efforts, the North Korean government failed to honor its debt. Interestingly, some of these Volvos are still reportedly in use in North Korea, a testament to the cars' durability and the country's resourcefulness in maintaining them over the years. They can occasionally be seen in photographs and videos from Pyongyang, often used by government officials.

just did the upper engine mount and noticed this lol

Hey! Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this but I was just wondering if anyone else had any experience with this.

I recently bought a new XC-40 and when I went to fill it up for the first time last week I had some trouble figuring out how to open the fuel door.

I tried a few scenarios while I was at the pump like locking and unlocking the doors via the buttons on the driver side door, but what ended up working was getting out of the car, locking the doors and then unlocking them again via Passive Entry. The fuel door unlocked when I did that.

The issue for me is I live in NJ where it’s illegal to pump your own gas, so it feels weird if I have to get out of the car to lock the doors and then immediately unlock them and get back in the car just to refuel.

It seems like Volvo used to have a button to unlock the fuel door from inside the car, but they removed it on more recent models.

Has anyone found a better solution (besides moving out of NJ 😛) for opening the fuel door from inside the car? I’m not sure of all current Volvo models operate the same way or if it’s just this model.

So it’s 40s outside and my vehicle thermostat is set to 65 via AC. It’s blowing warm air. Is it blowing warm air because the temperature in the vehicle is below 65? Is it trying to bring the inside temperature to 65 or shouldn’t it be blowing cold air? Taking to shop tomorrow. Just curious

Is your intellisafe cover as loose as mine? I get that this is a “covid” car built in ‘21 but this seems oddly loose. It’s very noisy when going over uneven roads or when the chassis twists as it’s going into a driveway.

My dad upgraded to a new model and gave me his 2019 model, I love her so much.

Hey all, recently my climate control started malfunctioning. Whether it’s the AC or the heat, it works for a few minutes but never gets too strong (the way I want it) and then it turns to a mild temp. Sometimes when I run the AC the engine sputters, especially if I’m idling. A couple times the engine overheated after using the AC for more than 5 minutes. Anybody experienced this? I have a 2008 V50 wagon.

The little silver piece has gone missing. I’ve seen I can buy the entire piece, but, if I don’t have to, I won’t.

I found a 2.4 d v70 from 2008 for 5000 euros. It has 240k kms and the price seems a bit low to me. Im from eastern/central europe. Are there big differences in the 2.4d and d5 or is it just detuned? Thanks for the answers.

So I have a Volvo S40 II (2nd hand) in my possession. Engines runs nicely and all. However I have some body pieces missing which really irk me.

This highlighted piece is missing from my headliner and it's driving me crazy from the lack of resources online. Even videos that explain how to remove this piece skips it.
