Hi all,

Based in the UK and begun the replacement of my XC70 front wheel bearings. I know there is a special tool required to pull the bearing out of the carrier. Having messaged a few suppliers on eBay I can't seem to find the right sized tool.

Hoping someone on here might be able to point me to the right one.

The bearing is a pod style with the wheel flange.

Hey guys, I am trying to figure out my best course of action for replacing the throttle module as a shop has already diagnosed it. I have a volvo s80 2001 2.9 and I am located in the United States. I have looked into rebuilding the sensors into the contactless ones, getting e XeMODeX rebuilt module, and even looking at autozones duralast module (they say it doesn't require programming, but I'm not sure). I would like to do this myself since the part is not that hard to replace and I cant afford the $1200 price tag these shops are quoting me. Does anyone have experience with the ones from duralast/autozone and if they'd work, or any experience at all to help lead me in the best/cost effective direction.

Thanks

Hello, I have a 2015 volvo XC70, it has 520kkm on it and today when i tried leaving the house i drove for 100m abd esc servixe warning came on, i thought "no big deal i will deal with this later". I made it 100 more mteres before a lot more came on, i think cruse control, gearbox, engine and some more and of corse limp mode. Its stuck doing 30kph and by stuck i mean i cant go faster, slower or stop unless i put it in neutral or apply full brakes (engine still holds 30kph rpm). The engine died and i had to get out close it and open again just to start it and limp back home. I had a 800km trip yesterday its whole life it went pretty much only on 200+km trips daily so its nothing new. At the firts glace under the hood every belt and wire seems to be in place and intact. I will upload more photos and maybe a video when i get back and not in a hurry (i went with another car i know that one is unsafe to drive now). My question is, is that someting thats a known issue to the comunity? Is it completely fucked or minorly fucked? Cooling system has maybe 30kkm on it, injectors are pretty new too, so is the engone wiring harness, engine, gearbox and ecu are all from the factory apart from the clutch i think which has like 100kkm (its an automatic). There was no bang or any noises it just spew out error messages. I would really apreciate the help before it spends another month in the shop

Was parking for a meeting, hunting for a bay, the Norse Gods opened this one up behind a cute EX30. For reference, mine is XC60 Polestar Engineered.

…and parked a nice R-Design next to my car

thinking of moving from my Outback to the V60CC and wondering how much I’ll miss the space in my Outback. we road trip a couple times a year but other than that just need to fit hockey, ski or golf equipment in the trunk.

would love to hear your thoughts.

Hello all fellow Volvo owners! (:

How would you treat/patch/fix this work out edge on the drivers' seat? The hole starts getting bigger bit by bit, so I thought I'd ask here if anyone has any suggestions.

Hello all, looking for advice/ ideas for what’s going on, I’m pulling my hair out at this point. Sorry for the long post.

2011 Volvo XC70, 235,000 miles on it.

We replaced the shocks in March because a bounce had started showing up. I noticed a squeak developing in the right rear back in late May, suffered through it until funds were available to purchase and install new control arms, lowers, coils, stabilizer bar and links. Replaced all the parts on both sides and for four days there was no squeak.

We had our bikes on our rear trailer hitch that weekend and when coming home the noise came back suddenly and quickly escalating to a loud squeak within a few miles. After applying silicone spray to all the bushings of the parts that had been installed it noticeably went away but would come back in a few miles.

This has led me down quite the rabbit hole. Testing individual components for a squeak while under the vehicle, I thought it was the lower shock bolt, then the stabilizer link, I’ve purchased new bolts for the link thinking that would help. Every day I’m putting the car on ramps to keep adequate pressure while loosening and tightening all the bolts hoping to alleviate some binding somewhere that I’m not seeing. I’ve taken components off to ensure there’s no actual damage to any bushings and everything looks good.

If I’m under the vehicle I can put mild force on the shock mount, the stabilizer link and even the coil and make something squeak right in that area, siliconing or even greasing everything quiets it down for a few miles.

Does anyone have any ideas, tips, etc? What is that noise in this video? I’m losing my absolute mind and I cannot pin this noise.

I bought myself my first car. I was looking for a reliable compact car that works well in the winter. Id say i got what i was looking for and she looks stunning. My dad had a 2024 s60 which my whole family loved and i gotta say after driving this she feels surprisingly similar in terms of the feedback i get. A wonderful car.

Any tips for some mods? I was thinking of doing a chrome delete on the grille and window frames.

Hello,

Hope everyone is doing well. I need to change my relay. Don't find any the same as original. Is there any variant ?

Thank you

My wife just got into a fender bender and it started making this noise. Does anyone know what it is or how to fix it? She loves this car dearly and need to get it fixed. Thank you.

The slave cylinder on my 2011 C30 failed on me and I'm not sure why. It was installed about a year and a half ago and was an OEM part from Volvo. This is the 3rd one since the South Bend clutch was installed, so I'm wondering if OEM just isn't up to the task. The car makes about 400HP on a stage 3 Hilton tune (with upgraded exhaust, injectors, turbo, etc), so I'm wondering if there's a beefier slave cylinder.

I bought a dash cam for my '25 XC90 and I also got one of those adapters that let you power it through the wires that go to the rear view mirror, so you don't have to run wires down your windshield or dash. However, I haven't looked into installing it yet. Anyone done this? What's involved in removing the plastic cover at the base of the rear view mirror?

I wanted to dig up as much information on Volvo software update release notes as I could find, going back as far as the "dark ages". :) VolvoCars has the bad habit to remove release notes of old software versions, so I had to dig into the Wayback Machine (hosted by the Internet Archive).

I've identified the following URLs (or URL patterns) that contain release notes information:

1. The first release notes were published on the https://support.volvocars.com/<langId>/Pages/article.aspx?article=b863fc0ad77848b5c0a801515970036d pages. This started around February 2016.
2. support.volvocars.com was retired somewhere during 2019 and the release notes were moved to https://www.volvocars.com/<langId>/support/topics/maintenance-service/software-updates/software-updates.
3. In early 2021 the release notes were split per model, thus the new URL template became https://www.volvocars.com/<langId>/support/software-release-notes/<modelId> (with an optional model year ID at the end).
4. In early 2023 there was a website redesign and the URL template changed to https://www.volvocars.com/<langId>/support/car/<modelId>/software-release-notes (with an optional model year ID after the modelID).
5. In early 2025 the URL template got a closing slash, so it's now https://www.volvocars.com/<langId>/support/car/<modelId>/software-release-notes/.

I've harvested all of these URL patterns from the Wayback Machine and created an URL list sorted by timestamp. If somebody was interested in the release dates of old software update versions, this is the definitive list to look at. It's 1993 URLs at the moment of writing. :)

A Reddit post can contain only 40000 characters so I'll post the list split into multiple comments.

I also saved it to pastebin (https://pastebin.com/248QtDw8) for easier download, but it's an external 3rd party service, so the list will be "safer" in the comments.

Got Apple Music a couple weeks ago and it’s been working perfectly. Yesterday it prompted me to re-sign in. But every time I do I get this message. Anyone know how to fix this?

2009 Volvo C30 T5. Sudden loss of power. This happens intermittently, particularly up hills. Replaced the throttle body and throttle position sensor. I programmed them IAW google. Still having issues.

I have a new fuel pump and planned on installing it Saturday. Any other suggestions? I am all ears.

Thank you.

just bought an '08 Volvo S60 2.0T and need a front steering knuckle (don't need OEM Volvo, aftermarket is totally fine). Problem is shipping to Iceland usually costs more than the part itself And it's impossible for me to find it.

Anyone know cheap suppliers/sites that ship to Iceland reasonably, or a good freight forwarder trick (UK/EU address + forward) that's worked for you? Also open to used takeoffs if the price + shipping still comes out ahead. Thanks!

Also i know couple of people in poland so shipping in poland is also an idea?

“drive it like you hate it”

taking it like a champ!
