Hi. I saw Volvo community mentioned several times here. It is a forum ? I am thinking to own an used Volvo.

I like Volvo since childhood. No clue why.

Greatest vehicle on the road! I have a XC90, XC70, S60, and a Corvette. My favorite car is the XC70! love the turbo 5 cylinder, Comfort and lasting durability. The Haldex is 2nd generation and if you don't go places that use the AWD, the front tires wear out faster. Like you said, the power transfer depends on conditions. Looking at the front tires it's probably a 90/10 distribution... Volvo for Life

Tell me bout it bud

I've owned 5 Volvos since 1978, a 1974 240 for 9 years, 2Vvolvo 940 turbos in the 80's and 90's an s80 i6 for 8 years from 2014 to 2022 and finally a 2020 s60 momentum I just bought. The following is one of my volvo stories. In 1980 I was driving my 1974 Volvo 240, in Vancouver in December of that year on a really cold icy morning. Black ice everywhere and supper slippery. I had a head on collision at low speed, (under 15km) on a slight hill, I was heading down hill. Before hitting the mini cooper I let my foot off the brake so my car would hit the mini with my bumper level and my hood would not get damaged. I pushed the mini cooper about 5 to 10 feet, it was slippery. The damage report? The mini, crumpled front end, undrivable. The 1974 Volvo 240, with that rubber covered bumper. NOT A SCRATCH. The shock absorbers on the bumper took the full force of the crash and all I had to do was pull the bumper off, stretch the shock absorbers for the bumper and put the bumper back on. Great car. It's worth noting that the 1974 240 had a great bullet proof engine, the famous B20 series that had a multi year run through many configurations.

Thank you for the continued education. I have a 2005 V70R 6-speed and it's a blast to drive..... Passion Red! I am sincerely looking forward to the continued tweaks on your V70R. Keep up the good work.

I grew up with Volvos when I lived in Sweden as it still is one of the top selling cars and there's everything from standard cars to sleepers. now I own a 2004 V70 D5. Really great cars and when you outrun like BMW, Merc and Audi drivers with a family car it is absolutely priceless. 😅. Also worth to know is that the 5 cylinder engine started its life as the new 3L straight 6 in 1990 dedicated to the 960 cars and then in 1992 it became a 5 cylinder engine. This engine type was developed with the help of Porsche... So there you go. 👍 Love the fact you all have Volvos as it seem they're understated as performance cars.. possibly due to the sleeper factor and it is used by families. 🤔 Keep up the god work.

As a swede that have grown upp with Volvos i really like your content. The Volvo community is amazing! Next project car? 240/740/940 turbo sleeper?

@The Massive Prophet You are so wrong! Volvo Cars head office, product development, marketing and administration functions are mainly located in Gothenburg, Sweden. Volvo is a international car manufacturer like Mercedes, BMW and so on.... The company's MAIN car production plants are located in Gothenburg (Sweden), Ghent (Belgium), Chengdu and Daqing (China), while engines are manufactured in Skövde (Sweden) and Zhangjiakou (China) and body components in Olofström (Sweden)

As one of the people trash-talking the new Supra in Hanson's video (not the video's fault - Hanson did a good job on the presentation of the car), you aren't wrong. Anything that ain't a crossover sounds good in my book. Even though it isn't anything the Supra should be in my book, at least Toyota tried, and for that we should be grateful. Now all we need is more wagons!

Gawd danngit bro, you made me watch all this to tell me that our comunity is the best?!? Of course we are... We drive volvos... 👍

I love my V50, but I agree with you, the community is what makes it amazing. I went to a Euro meet (mostly Volvos and Saabs though, with a few Porsches/old Maseratis/Fiats/Audis etc.) up at Lime Rock a few months ago and literally not even 30 seconds after I parked the car, a swarm of people came around to look at it (bone stock black on black '05 V50 T5 FWD, stock everything including the curbrashed wheels I bought it with) and started flipping out because they saw that it was a manual. I spent probably two hours just talking to lots great people about a stock Volvo, and gained some pretty valuable knowledge about my car. What's funny is that my dad brought his Cobalt Blue 997 Porsche 911 C2S to the meet as well, and from what we could tell, more people went to look at my old, boring-looking, rusty(ish) Volvo than his sparkly Porsche. You all are a big part of what makes these cars a joy to own.

@@Acrum99 Yeah, but only kind of. Ford isn't the best with engineering sometimes. However, the car is basically a detuned wagon version of the Euro Focus RS (2nd gen I believe. The one with the five pot turbo), with a magnificently understated Volvo wagon body. Plus, it's not all Ford, as the engine, drivetrain, body, and interior were all done in-house by Volvo. As far as I'm aware, Volvo tweaked the platform a bit for safety as well. Mine's a 6 speed T5, so it kind of rips for what it is (lots of fun in corners too), plus it weighs next to nothing for a safe wagon (3300 pounds or so, in T5 manual FWD form, around the same weight as my dad's aforementioned 997 C2S). The car has only 80,000 miles on it, and cost me far less than what a V70 T5 with a manual would have cost in the same shape with similar mileage (A V70R, while I really wanted one, would have been way above my price range, even with a lot of miles in questionable shape. It would have been more affordable with an auto, but for me, stick shift or die). Plus, it weighs far less than that car, tires and brakes cost less, and because of the lighter weight, it will need those items less often, and get better mileage to boot (It will crack 40 MPG on the highway if you drive at 65-70mph in 6th). It's my only car, so it needs to be reliable(ish) and cheap to fix, two things that the VR is not (The V50 isn't really either, but it's better than those cars with the adaptive suspension and Haldex failures). With that said, the particular V50 I bought had been maintained meticulously (oil changes every 2,500 miles, for example), so it's been nothing but smiles for the year and a half I've owned it. Plus, in base form, there isn't a lot of aftermarket support for the V70, while the V50 has a plethora of parts and support in the aftermarket because it shares a platform and drivetrain with the C30. So basically, I bought it because it was cheaper, had been maintained meticulously, and the light weight and aftermarket support meant that I could use the money I saved on buying it over a V70 to make it better than that car in every way. Plus, it would suck less fuel, which was big with my long commute, saving me even more money to improve upon the car.

Even when I'm at work, I will never miss any of your episodes. Hope to see you guys one day in person if you ever come to the Cars and Coffee at the GSP mall!

complete PCV system replacement was my favourite job on my V70... honestly how dreadful it was, it taught me a ton about the whole engine. Don't get me wrong, you will cry multiple times, but it will be worth it. btw I drove without oil for a solid 15 minutes because the cam seal blew out, but after that nothing broke. this proofs the 2.4 is the absolute chad of engines out there.

About a million years ago (ok, 30-ish years ago) I had a 1971 142E - it was the "halo car" of the day - 140HP electronic fuel injected B20 - and it was a great car. Anyway, I had a problem with it that I didn't know what to do with it at the time - I took it in to the dealer, and they gave me a loaner car - a (then) brand new 780 to drive... so I had an over 15 year old Volvo, and they dropped me the keys to a $35k (in 1980s $$) car to drive for the day - and they knew what was up and fixed it in half a day... unreal. I normally do all my own - but knowing how well they take care of folks in general is definitely a thing.

I’ve just got a 2006 V70 to replace my V50. Sadly its not a T5 or R but I absolutely love it! Love the styling of these - its my 4th Volvo wagon. Great video

I still have my 05 volvo xc90 and my awd system doesnt work, i wanna fix it myself. Do you have any ideas where to start? I have been told to just change the sensor under the passenger seat just havent gotten around to it, any ideas what else could be going on with it?

I told ya to check your VIN! 🤣 Can't wait to see the video(s) on the repair procedure for the Haldex 3, it'll definitely help a lot of R, XC70, XC90 guys that have the Haldex 3 opposed to Haldex 4 (much easier from what I understand). Keep the Volvo videos coming! Oh, and the Pegs look fantastic. Can't wait to get mine done too! I'm planning on graphite grey with yellow or blue in the R logos.

Yep, got myself an 88' 740 turbo saloon and it definitely is a great car. Plus it's proving to be quite comfy in the winter.

You're lucky the haldex was what was driving the problem. I had my AWD go out by the angle gear blowing itself open... yeah, good times - but still got us home on fwd... And yes, Volvo folks are really great folks! Lots of friends!

CaptainSeamus Yes my angle box went or to be more exact, an internal cog was stripped. So having watched on utube a specialist welder gained access to the angle box by cutting two holes. The drive was then welded solid. No more trouble, awd back and for relatively little money. My car is a diesel with the Audi D5 engine which is said to be unbreakable

I'm not 100% sure about a Haldex 3, but on a Haldex 4-5 the the car is biased FWD 100% of the time in normal conditions. The driveshaft going to the rear differential is spinning but the rear wheels wont be turning. The Haldex system contains multiple clutches. The Haldex pump pressurizes an accumulator and maintains this pressure keeping the clutches apart, and upon wheel slip where AWD is needed, the accumulator dumps and clutches engage=>AWD.

Help! Super disappointed in MPG. Just replaced the engine in this ‘05 XC70 and the best I’m seeing is 18mpg. I would expect at least 22 with moderate highway speeds. It is back in the shop today (3/7/24)where the engine was swapped out to take care of an issue with the service work done on the Haldex. And I’ve asked for a diagnostic and some exploratory work to see if there is something amiss. I just added a treatment of SeaFoam to clean injectors. Any suggestions?

Great channel! I currently have a 2005 Volvo V70R. (136k miles) It replaced my 1991 MBZ E300 I loved this wagon too. The reason I sold it was it was becoming unreliable and my monthly average cost was not much less than a new car payment. The avg. was &340/month) I then discovered the V70R and wow what a find. I’m a convert to Volvo. So far very dependable. Some routine cost which were mostly under warranty. I had the 7 yr /100k policy) So how about a series on wagons.

I genuinely don't get the dislikes. Are people just blatantly hating on the video because it doesn't feature the people's personal favorite car company, that happens NOT to be Volvo in this case???

I imported my 2013 Volvo XC60 into Jamaica from Canada. The whole shipping process took about 2.5 months. As soon as the vehicle came through the port gate it refused to restart. An auto electrician diagnosed that the fuel pump failed. He agitated the pump and got it working again until a replacement could be imported. Since then I have had tons of electronic issues: - windows won’t power up; - odometer screen goes blank - vehicle shuts down on its own - parking brake partially released symbol comes up - etc Since we do not have a Volvo dealer in Jamaica it’s a bit hard to get these issues resolved . Any chance that this car could be remotely diagnosed? If so, who is authorized to do that?

A short in the electric lines at the radiator caused a fire which torched out my entire engine compartment inside of 5 minutes. Not a darn thing I could do but stand there and watch. There was a small breeze blowing that day which made matters worse. Loved that car.

Technology of XXI century. Drive, suspension, engine, interior, souround. Perfect. Easy to drive,. Problems was start when was broken sensor of stering wheel position. Expensive. Next one was ABS ring. Two different garages tryed exchange, unsuccesfull.The rear wheels drive system HALDEX was need service. After exchange service kit, still not worx. When automatic gearbox get defect, cost exchange valves and filters was cosmos. Enough was, when I done engine service. All components like hydroulic lifters, rockers, timing(full kit), oil, filters was cost my montly income. Then I said enough. Sold it. Now Im happy from cheap and easy for repair German car.

I own a xc90 2006, 3 cilinders broke, 2.5k repair bill. It has 220k kms on it, not sure if rewinded tho. My biggest fear is transmision problems, neighbour had to pay like 7k for new transmision for his xc90 auto, jesus! Subscribed, volvo for life

Get the C30 they are going up in value and at your age youll probably want more than a V50 in terms of size when you get older. As much as i like S40/V50 they don't hold up well in value (not that us Volvo owners care) but a C30 T5 R-Design is becoming a very sought after car, mine went up in value the last two years i owned it. Look for a R-Design T5 C30, make sure you do all the checks (water in the oil being the big one) but it it was looked after well they generally don't have much issues especially facelift models.

Thats the old haldex. S60R Haldex can also send power to etch corner not only front to back. The car read the the steering sensor and send the power to right tier. That’s why in snow ice. You can steer and give throttle. The car knows where you want to go and send power to right tier. Check link kzread.info/dash/bejne/m5iGmJiYhLvVoM4.html

I don’t think that I will be buying another Volvo car again because I brought my VolvoXC60 RDesign from Canada to Jamaica. Unfortunately the fuel pump failed within moments of clearing Customs. A local non-Volvo trained technician was the first available technician and he diagnosed and did what needed to be done in order to get the car moving. Since then, I have have been having terrible electron issues . Volvo technicians have told me that there is likely a slack or ungrounded connection. Some issues are, emergency brake does not work, moon roof is stuck in open, he k engine light is on and can’t clear. Unfortunately the local vendor dealer has closed down operations in Jamaica.

I believe the Haldex system, if anything like the units on VW, should split 90/10 & 50/50 for the old units and 100/0 & 50/50 on the new ones with some torque vectoring implementation...

Come to sweden! If you own an 240, 740 or an 940 you can get an rear diff, transmission, clutch whatever like in under an hour and for cheap. Everything is easy to wrench on and even volvo supply cheap part for these cars. We even have Biltema which has a lot of part just for those cars. Now i own an Bmw 330D 2009 manual, parts are impossible to get, the dealer charge ridiculously much compared to Volvo. You better of ordering parts online and even that is sometimes tricky. There are to many weird part. Just the parking lights are a nightmare to replace and they are "expensive" compared to regular lights. LIKE WHY? Sidenote, love the car! It's reliable and makes a lot of power for being an diesel, it gets so good fuel economy while still hauling.

The V70 is imo a pain to park in tight spaces as I do at truckdriving school everyday, but other then that it's a beauty and a true workhorse, you best believe the BMW and Mercedes owners eyes pop out of their heads when i'm taking them over on the freeway no sweat :)

I have had a 07 s80 02s80 96 850 now 04 awd xc love it

Volvo is one of the best car out there, I have driven practically every brand you can think of honestly nothing like Volvo.

Just got a 1991 740 Turbo 178,000 miles ... Best car I have ever owned.

I have 3 wagons and a harttop c70. Check those factory wastegate settings. All of mine were set with no preload, want it to be more peppy preload those suckers and you’ll kill it off the line with less lag

I, actually my wife owns a 2004 XC70. We purchased it new in 2004. These cars are NOT Hondas. Be prepared for expensive headaches. Ours is now 15 years old with over 140,000 miles on her. What can I say. It’s a love hate relationship (the car not my wife) and for some reason I feel compelled to keep her alive. Maybe it’s because both of my kids grew up safely in the backseat! VOLVO!!!

That company is awesome and cheap. They help me all the time. I love your channel. Thank you.

I got a 2013 s60 t5 . I love it .Fast luxury dependable safe car. Hearing great reviews and awesome eye catcher .Getting the s90 next. In Hampton roads Virginia United states and foreign car owners even turn their heads to a volvo . #VolvoGang4Life#

Why are all my dash lights constantly on and hard cold starts every time but only when it's freezing out and drinks gas like a V12 I don't know much about my Volvo it's a 2000 if anyone can help let me know subbed btw

When are you pulling the engine and resleaving it with some forged internals and a bigger turbo?

Not going to pull it. We’ll be shimming it. Sleeves are WAY out of the budget range and shimming can be done in a day. No forged internals, but bigger turbo for sure. Looking for 400-450 crank and that should do the trick.

@ShiftingLanes Sleeves really aren't that much for a 2.5L block, Darton sleeves (best brand you can get) are only $1000 and you can for sure get that all put together assuming you pull the block yourself for roughly $600 in labor at full price. From my calculations that's about how much your exhaust and tune combined cost. I think you might have an inflated idea of how much it really costs to build an engine. Wiseco piston set for the engine about $600, and you don't need to do con rods really but you can toss em in anyways for just $500 additional. All in all that's re-sleeved, decked, and forged internals in an engine now capable of 800+hp for only $2700+/- a bit.

Anyone wanna send me their extra pressure sensor? Lol just did haldex service and is still not working..

Love Volvo's also was my first car, a 1970 142GT with overdrive. A lot of great memories from that one. Love the styling of this Wagon V70 and would love to own one , however my personal daily budget would not allow for all the possible defects that I hear happens to this version of Volvo. Blown engine risk if experienced would break me. Maybe front wheel drive version engine only would be stronger is my question. All the best.

I did hear on another channel that if you push the R engine, that it does tend to crack the block over time.

I own a 1999 Volvo C70 (200k miles), WHAT A GREAT CAR!!! Durable, a fighter, masculine... Well, I'm at the point where I'm wanting something newer, but find myself not wanting to let 'Brother' (my car) go. So, what is your opinion of my make year and model? Issues? Please advise.

I love my 2004 XC90 T6 and my 2004 XC70. Awesome vehicles

Haldex is 90 front 10 rear but If needed can get 90 rear 10 front ie under heavy acceleration

My 2006 xc70 has 280k miles and counting but I’m nervous without a spare engine/transmission ready

A tip from me is too join Volvosofsweden club on facebook if you got a volvo , its a swedish group but you can ask in english and everybody will understand and the brand is swedish and people here know alot about them if you need to know anything. And yes the V70N (Gen2) got problems with the Crankcase ventilation its caused by bad oil service rutines it clogs up the hoses and oil channels and the oil strainer in the sump and then you loose oil pressure and bam your engine seizes , its preventable by taking down the oilpan and cleaning it , changing the hoses to the ventialtion and then doing some enginge cleaner or filling it with diesel and emtying it , BUT if its to far gone , loosen up particles can get to the oil pump and seize it ,had my 2002 2.4t AWD killed by that cause.

Prancing moose love!

my grandma had a volvo wagon it was TR something but it was FAST as HELL

I have a c30 2008 automatic. I'm getting a hard shift from 2nd to 3rd. Any advice

@@jonathantolbert4176 Nice, just drive it!

What if you don’t have Haldex system? What if you have the older ”Viskokoppling” (viscous coupling) based AWD system like the older X70 (V70 I / V70 p1/ V70 mk1 or a early V70n / V70p2 / V70 mk2 face 1AWD). Then you would not have this problem, but you would barely have a working AWD system at all, the old AWD system was and still is not good at the all wheel driving.

New follower🤓🙌 I just discovered your channel. I own a V70 Classic from 2008 I thought mine was the nicest looking but yours is way nicer🤣

But i does matter, The MK supra's heritage and popularity was based on it being tuned and raced in the mountains of japan which built a racing spirit around it ranking it in with the Skylines and RX-7's - what is this cars legacy going to be? who was it designed for? a tuner who would have no use for all the luxury goods but would love to have functioning air dams and manual transmission. I still enjoy your coverage of the new car, i just think sometimes you have to call a spade a spade.
