Baffled by steering

[S60-MBS]

For a second I thought I logged back on to "other" Volvo forums.

Yeah, he's a bit of a.....

pmsl badger that is quality

[But is it really a Volvo?]

Some posters need to calm it down a bit.

They just don't seem to realise how undignified their bitching makes them look.

[gazbak1]

can you please let Volvo's Daventry training centre know that the s80 = v70 as when i did my apprenticeship there they told me s60 = v70!!!

plus a honors degree in mechanics!! **** me even Jeramey Clarkson can get one of them and he know **** all about car mechanics.

if you work in the motor trade **** me im leaving it. i would hate to be in the same job type as you

Or amusement...

Or exhaustion... I've just sat down with a sandwich and a brew at work for a bit of a surf around and instead been amused and confused by this monumental thread.

Wow.

Change the drop links.

I reckon.

And it's not even Friday Dave!

[dave stew]

Oh, for what it's worth I have replaced by S80 estate's front suspension with the following components:

Track rods and track rod ends - why? Slight clunk on full lock and a bit of steering play.
Then... wishbone bushes - why? Excessive torque steer and an MOT advisory
Then... Drop links - why? Loud clonking over speed ramps
Then... New dampers all round - why? 145,000 miles and a feeling a bit baggy.

I am a very lucky guy. Volvo built my S80 estate with a five pot T5 engine and manual transmission. Just like quite a few S60s....

Shame on them.

Now now, you're starting to sound like you've got a chip.

Well at least we can agree on something, can't we (me old ££££) ?

I have spent most of the morning arguing with scaffolders and the next door tenants. Joy.

Makes the S80 idiot in this thread look quite knowledgable.

No, Dave.

[dave stew]

Oh yes, a quick thought. I was trying to buy a 4WD S80R with a 2.5litre T5 engine in it.

Couldn't find one.

There is an S60 version though. Spooky.

[dave stew]

No, Dave.

Oh dear.

Back to those scaffolders, can't be arsed with you today.

[But is it really a Volvo?]

Oh dear.

Back to those scaffolders, can't be arsed with you today.

Come back another day.

Why was that ?

[T5ER]

you have been told by a volvo mechanic, a volvo employee that the V70 is not a S80 estate and yet you still think you are right so as i have said ARE VOLVO THEMSELVES WRONG IF SO CONTATC THEM. Jesus give me strength
