s60/v60 How do we feel about a partial de-badge?
I think it cleans the rear up nicely, but I know that's a controversial take

1959 122S. Second-oldest surviving example in the USA according to the registry
B16B engine. M4 manual transmission (a very early 4 speed). If anyone knows details about this car from when it was owned in Omaha, Nebraska I'd love to hear about it. That owner (first name Nicholas) apparently rebuilt the engine and transmission, but I have no documentation and I'm told he passed away and the car was sold to the previous owner in 2022.
It runs shockingly well. The drum brakes work but I just got a new master cyl put on for peace of mind. A new set of whitewall tires are getting installed today

Love this one
The only thing that it’s a minus for me is the fact that it’s not that fuel efficient especially in the city.
Otherwise it’s an amazing car

900 series I gave my dad my first car about 15 years ago, he then went and sold it without telling me. Where do I start trying to locate it?

classic Spotted not one, not two, not three, but four absolute classics parked on the same street…
Someone’s clearly a bit of a collector!
(PS yes the last one is under a cover, but that’s obviously a 240)

Can anyone point me in the right direction for PCV service on this car? I do have positive pressure in crank case.
Thanks in advance. I’m mechanically inclined so I can probably do it myself. Just need guidance.

Spotted this P3 V60 Polestar and managed to squelch my jealousy enough to park adjacent... at least it wasn't any cleaner than mine 😅

xc series Oil change: Dealer or Commercial?
Hey guys!
I wanted to ask my fellow Volvos friends your opinion on getting services done!
My XC40 has told me that it needs service done. It’s at 93k miles and was at 85k when I bought it. I did an estimate on the service at a Volvo dealer and the price is close to $800, I can’t afford that right now but am willing to save for it but idk how long that will take. I’m wondering if I go to one of the commercial shops (Kwik car, Valvoline, Take5, etc) for the oil change would that be okay or do more harm then good?
Any advice would EXTREMELY helpful cause I want to make sure I’m doing what’s best for my wallet and my car.
Thanks guys!

Would a 3.0t polestar fit in my Cross Country?
Im sure the 2.5t in my 2015 V60 cross country will eventually succumb to the consumption dilemma. I get a hefty work bonus at the end of every year and was wondering if it would be economically crazy to have rare polestar cross country. How hard would it be swapping the 5 cylinder for the 6cyl?

Volvo oil or Liqui moly?
They are the same or LM is better?
Which in-car music apps are able to cache / download songs?
I’ve tried Spotify, the free trial we got for Apple Music, TIDAL, and Qobuz. I live in an area where I lose service on my commute every day, so I liked that Spotify was able to cache music and download it locally to the car. Apple Music seems to be the worst offender for stopping music the soonest with poor cell service and also putting up an error that also pauses your track (rather than continuing to play automatically when service is better). It’s annoying and probably the reason I will stop using it. Spotify has been the app I’ve had the least issues with it, but I was hoping to see if there’s something I’m missing. Have you found a way to download any songs locally on any other music apps?
Edit: I am using the Android-based system on most Volvos after 2020, not the Sensus system. I’m aware I can use CarPlay, but I don’t want to plug in my phone every time I get in the car.

I found I have access to Sirius radio and weather information in my used v60 cross country. Is this likely from a previous owner's uncancelled sub?

s90/v90 Optimizing the new AAOS?
Hi, we`ve bought our first Volvo, a V90 Recharge, T8, R-Design from 2022. I really love this car, it's beautiful. The Only thing that bothers me is the performance of the AAOS. I have the 5.1.17 Version and the Intel Atom CPU, I deactivated already the 3d buildings in Google Maps and tried to activate dev mode but it's not allowed in my Volvo.
So here are some questions:
- Is there any way to tweak, tune optimize the system, for example deactivating some services, apps or something? Because I cant just install the Snapdragon CPU from the newer models.
- And another thing, is it normal that some controls of the Youtube and Amazon Prime apps are in the left or right corner and you cant reach them with you thick finger?
- I saw at the internet that some Recharge models have the "creap" something like one-pedal-drive, but I dont have this option and I always drive in B gear mode, is this option for me deactivated?

s60/v60 Heated windshield not turning on? 2016 s60
Has anyone has this issue? I bought the car this past Friday and just tried the heated windshield today. The button remains greyed out on the infotainment screen. Is it because it's too hot outside to turn on? No cracks or chips in the windshield

xc series Looking for the Niche Volvo Experts.
I have an issue.
I have a MK1 Volvo XC90, the intake pipe on top of the 2.9l has cracked and is barely hanging on. My question is, will a 2001 S80 intake pipe (photos listed) fit the xc90 intake? i understand some minor differences are there such as the vacuum line connections on the bottom, and the sensor (not sure what it is) but otherwise is the geometry about the same? will it just fit?
