I am a Volvo tech and I'm selling a dependable 1998 Volvo v70 R AWD rare w/ every option(non smoker) or pet hair, I purchased this silver (always looks clean) wagon from a customer of mine recently, he took great care of it but he got into a accident in a parking lot and it smashed the pass front fender (replaced w/ oem fender,no frame damage) not really a huge issue but the car needed a large maintenance service performed and he could not afford the repairs so I bought the wagon for resale.  If you are looking for a Volvo wagon this is the last real Volvo after 1998 Volvo switched over to a electronic throttle body on there engines that had many issues which caused Volvo to put out a recall on the throttle body, plus the ignition system was switched over from a distributor to coil over plug which crack all the time and cause misfire issues, plus post 98 Volvos have many electronic control modules which are expensive to repair when they go bad I repeat when they go bad not if they go bad, I have owned many Volvos but 1998 and prior years were very dependable, you don't have to take my word on this but do yourself a favor and go online and read posts on the 98 and prior Volvos compared to post 98 models.


I recently replaced many parts on the R here is a list of the repairs, new front and rear pads and rotors, radiator fan, re-manufactured abs module, upper coolant hose, timing belt service (oem parts), air filter, cab-filter, oem spark plugs, oem spark plug wires, oem cap and rotor, serpentine belt, front struts upper bushings(spring seats), evac and recharged a/c, battery, all fluids.In the last year the front axles have been replaced, the mufflers have been replaced w/ dual ipd mufflers and tips, lower control arms, radiator, ect sensor, mass air flow sensor, rear wiper motor and regulator, wipers, head light bulbs, fogg light bulbs, tail light bulbs.I replaced many of the parts because I came across great discounted parts (oem) and it should help w/ the resale price. I have replaced all the fluids, four wheel alignment, the tires are new goodyear eagles rsa all seasons (great in rain and quiet), The 16" stock oem alloy wheels are clean no curb rash,  the engine idles perfectly and performs great I have owned other R wagons before but this one seems faster then the other not sure why all my vehicles are always basically left stock, the transmission has been serviced every 30k w/ new atf shifts properly. The awd driveline is in good working order no vibrations, the brakes perform properly no squeaks, or vibrations, the suspension is tight there is no loose play in any of components NO fluid leaks, a/c blows cold, heat blows hot, premium sound system oem. Everything works in and out of the Volvo I have gone threw every system w/ my Volvo scanner (engine, transmission, abs, srs, climate control etc) no trouble codes (dtcs) there are no surprises every switch, bulb, solenoid works. I removed the tailgate panel because no matter what you do they rattle and its annoying also as you can see I removed the headlight wipers because they are worthless they cause more issues then what there worth so I always remove them on my vehicles if you want them ill give them to you they work fine.The windows are tinted (drivers window has a little part torn but still looks good) and keep the interior cool on hot days, the interior is in great shape dark wood trim, leather and suede in good condition normal wear and tear drivers seat has normal wear look at pics, small dents here and there bumpers have been touched up from rock chips but the body is still pretty straight for being a 1998 vehicle NO RUST,tinted tail lights I would give the body a 8 out of 10, the paint still shines like new. I have drove the R and I have been averaging 22-23 MPG previous owner told me he got better mpg w/ driveshaft off I currently have it installed I can remove it if you want let me know. PLEASE EMAIL W/ ANY QUESTIONS

Polestar looking to tune Volvo CUVs

Sun, 19 Oct 2014

Volvo is getting serious about emerging from the fringes and into the mainstream of the luxury automobile market. But if it's going to challenge the Germans, it's going to need a performance line. And that's just what it's developing with Polestar.
Building on the motorsport partnership that has seen Polestar represent Volvo in the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship, World Touring Car Championship and V8 Supercars series, Polestar has been charged with developing road-going performance Volvos as well. It currently offers comprehensively tuned versions of the S60 and V60, as well as engine upgrades for other models, but the latest word has it that Polestar will turn its attention next to tuning Volvo crossovers like the XC60 and the new XC90, pictured above in top-spec R-Design trim.
Details on how Volvo would modify those models remain to be determined, but it wouldn't be much of a stretch to imagine the XC60 outfitted with similar enhancements to those offered on its sedan and wagon stablemates to mount a challenge to the Audi SQ5. As for the larger XC90, it seems Volvo is already squeezing as much out of its new 2.0-liter triple-charged inline-four as it can, but more aggressive handling, aero and brakes could stand to transform the flagship crossover in pursuit of performance utes like the Mercedes ML63 AMG and BMW X5 M, even if it couldn't quite match their impressive horsepower outputs.

Hot rod tractor stars in Swedish version of Farmkhana

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

The Nordic countries are known for their beautiful fjords, blonde-haired populace and bitter cold for a good portion of the year. The hours spent indoors during the dark, cold season apparently gives a lot of time for some crazy brainstorming. Tire store chain Vianor is highlighting the Traktor Terror in a new video. If Ken Block is the master of Gymkhana, then these guys know all about Farmkhana in their custom, turbocharged tractor.
According to the YouTube description from Vianor, the tractor is a 1956 Volvo BM Terrier with an added roll cage, adjustable front suspension and extended frame. The engine is thoroughly Swedish, and it's based on a Volvo 940 Turbo with a Volvo 240 head and Volvo 740 intercooler. However, it uses a Saab turbo Prospark ignition and fuel system. All told, the setup is claimed to make 225 horsepower and is capable of a top speed of 60 miles per hour.
That's not crazy power, but this tractor can certainly put it down. The farm machine has no problem smoking those big rear wheels and drifts easily.... although, it may be a tiny little bit unstable (hence the roll cage). If nothing else, this looks like the world's most fun way to be a farmer, that's for sure.

Volvo C30 Polestar Concept hits the 'Ring

Mon, 05 Aug 2013

It's been over three years since the Volvo C30 Polestar Concept was unveiled, driven by journalists and, as it turns out, lapped around the Nürburgring with Scandinavian Touring Car Championship driver Robert Dahlgren behind the wheel. For whatever reason, the video of the 'Ring track session was only published by the tuning company yesterday. (Another discrepancy: Did Polestar's C30 lose 46 horsepower somewhere along the line? Because the video states that it has 405 hp, while the company's website quotes 451 hp...)
Whatever the case, the tuned Volvo is a beast, much more so than the similar-looking, 250-hp 2013 Volvo C30 Polestar Limited Edition that was sold last year. With 451 hp (sounds better than 405 hp, doesn't it?), all-wheel drive, limited-slip differentials front and rear and Öhlins dampers, the Polestar Concept checks all of the right boxes for us.
For some reason, the video, which you can watch below, seems a bit vanilla to us. Perhaps the overly dramatic music takes away from the action and the beautiful sounds of the turbocharged five-cylinder engine?
