vredstiens sasanta is probably the grippiest tyre wet or dry ive ever used. I had them on my 300 whp s60 and it didn't spin up much wet or dry. I now have them on a 400+ bhp XKR and they don't spin...

Ive got a 2010 XC90 and im wondering if any of the new face lift parts fits straight on, or any that fit with a bit of fettling.
Cheers
Hi All...... IIIIIMMMMM BBBBAAAACCKKKKK
Like you all say you never stay away from a Volvo for long !
Ok I'm looking at a XC90 probably 3 years old, is there anything I need to be looking out...
Fluid change is one of the best things you can do, it really does make a difference. Does your model still have the gear neutral software ? You might need to check and see when the gerabox last had...
If you have plenty of paint on it then wet sand with 2000 grit, lots of soapy water, VERY light pressure, as Tomcat says be very careful around swage lines corners etc etc, If you have painted it...
A Dyno is a useful tool to compare things with, not car Vs car, but on your own car, so long as you use the same dyno and the same operater. Run the car, make a change run the car again, make a...
Does the turbo spool under mid load, ie are you getting any boost at all at any throttle setting. If no boost Id look at intercooler or turbo pipe work, even a small hole will negate all the boost...
Rufe is a guy on here who owns ( or works in I cant remember ) a Volvo dealers, he does a good deal for members on parts.
Quick safety tip... Aluminium dust is toxic as all hell, wear a dust mask and keep yourself safe.
Steve, Im wondering if maybe when it was set up with the bias valve the pads were new ? Its possible that they have bedded properly now and your fronts are out breaking your rears... just a thought,...
Steve.. I dont doubt that you had it set up correctly, Im not implying that you are an idiot. Just trying to make sure you dont kill yourself on accident !
Did the fronts lock ? Or was it just...
Tut tut tut... racing on a public road !! Save it for the track, next time someone might get killed.
Ok bollocking over.... the lack of ABS or the introduction of ABS half way through a serious...
Front mount Intercooler, MTE stage 2 remap, 100 cell race cat. Thats it, nowt else needs doing. 300WHP loads of torque, fast enough for anyone without any change in the cars drivability. Ive been...
I doubt that you would get that noise level from a damaged pipe. 107 db is pretty loud. Have you ever had the car noise checked before ?
Stuck stat would cause both problems, especially if it isnt stuck fully open or fully closed.
I have one but never fitted it as I was told it wouldnt work very well with the MTE remap. Im guessing that if its allowing the turbo to spool harder at lower RPM then you will use more fuel, power...
1100 quid for a knackered old volvo, I know we like them here, but that a bit pricey ! You could buy a knackered 8v intergrale for that much money, propbably cost the same to make em work.
I know...
Exactly the same problem on my P2 S60, ive had everything checked over on 3 occassions now and they cant find anything wrong at all. It sounds a bit like a spring dislocation / relocation, but there...
Tape hole ??? hehe, what on earth is a tape ?? :-)
The HU850 is a dash mount 6 disk cd unit with dolby pro logic. I think the one T5 has is a weeeee bit older than a HU850.
They are coded to the car, but thats not a problem, fit the unit, take it to a volvo indy, or volvo itself and they will do the software thing for about £25.
As I understand it the unit will not...
I thought wobbles head was already vinyl wrapped ? oh well you live and learn :-)
damn thats a good price !!!
As a rule the HU850 units cant be repaired, its the disk selector arm that breaks, the new ones from volvo are an uprated version, but they are about £800 if i remeber...
True...... :-)
Now now mr wobbles.... did you get out of the wrong side of the bed this morning ?
I dont know about the fly wheel, but yes you can fit a second hand intercooler.. so long as its off the same car...
