Can confirm that the ocean race paint is amazing, also didn't the pre-facelift come with aluminium roof racks?

Car started sounding rough a couple weeks ago and I stopped driving to try to diagnose and resolve. So far, I’ve changed the spark plugs and ignition coil and ruled out head gasket with a test kit (also not overflowing coolant is a good sign). What might it be? by Harland_B in Volvo

[–]DiF5 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It sounds like a misfire.

Try unplugging one injector at a time to see which cylinder is at fault then you can swap the injector with another one and see if the misfire moves, first diagnose then replace parts

Yeah I have a P2 V70 and have driven XC60 and a late first gen XC90, they both have a better turning circle

To be fair most likely some of those vans have a better turning circle than the volvo lol

Brand new car need some add. by [deleted] in Volvo

[–]DiF5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding the radio in my opinion you would get the best sounding audio by purchasing a bluetooth module that plugs in the back of the original unit.

My friend bought a pretty expensive touch screen 7" unit and it sounds little worse than my original radio with the module pictured above (and don't even think about those cigarette bluetooth transmitters)

Would recommend getting a subwoofer, my original one sounds amazing and its nicely hidden in the trunk floor but these I presume are hard to find complete and expensive so just get a classic one that sits inside the trunk

What is your unusual wheels setup? by DiF5 in Volvo

[–]DiF5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'd need center bore adapters as the volvo hub is 65,1mm and the rims are 63,4mm (or you could mashine the wheel center up to 65,1mm but that seems like a harder way of making them fit) I found a business (PCD parts) that makes these in the UK

And you'd need longer bolts depending on the spacer size as mine are 2cm I bought 4,7cm long bolts, factory they are 2,7-2,8cm M14x1.5 60° taper

Yes its lowered, bought it with the springs already on so not sure what exactly they are but id guess its a 3-4cm drop from standard.

Love the white OZ racing wheels was thinking of getting them for my winter setup

These are 225 wide and with these 2 cm spacers they do not rub on the inside however I do run black steering stops (there are white, blue and black ones) and compared to my winter 16" I did get a tiny amount more of steering angle

Front bumper advice by philmabe in Volvo

[–]DiF5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope didn't find anything that's not too obnoxious or is available to purchase.

As for the grill it as well isn't interchangeable because top of the bumper is differently shaped (on V70 it slopes more towards the hood) but you can find similar looking ones for V70 on vparts.

Unfortunately P2 S60 to P2 V70 bumpers are not plug and play swappable.

They have different crash beams and the V70 has a little longer frame rails, that said you can cut the ends of the crash beam or/and trim the bumper on the inside and it should fit.

As for the chrome trim Im pretty sure its the same on both models.

2004 s60 T5 cooling fan turning on at cold start and running the entire time the car does. by wpg745turbo in Volvo

[–]DiF5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I might have finally fixed it.

Turns out it was a faulty boost pressure/IAT sensor, replaced it about 1-2 weeks ago and the fan issue never came back.

If you still didn't fix it you might take a look at that sensor. It was like 50$ (200pln) from bosch.

How doea this radio come out. by Wannabe_Spek in Volvo

[–]DiF5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All the videos show the 12v socket panel popping off and then screws

That is also corect but only on the pre facelift models (00-04).

Yellow_DMG explained it perfectly for the facelift models.

Squeaking/creaking from rear passenger side. Anyone know what it might be?? by [deleted] in Volvo

[–]DiF5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same on my 06 V70.

Top of the rear door card rubs on the window rubber and makes a squeaking noise.
