Reviews of spare parts for Volvo
My Volvo had a pretty new set of Conti DWS's and they worked well in mild snow and really nicely in the rain, even when they wore down into the "D."
Goodyear Eagle F1's I had them on my Volvo 850R and good good did they move water out of the way! great dry tire as well
I switched it to Mobile 1 high mileage, and no more smoke, and it now, I kid you not, burns less than 1qt/3-4k miles!
Mine is stock height on the rear with Bilstein HDs for a Volvo 240. perfect match to stock shock length.
I regularly use my "fog" lights to augment the headlights on back roads. They illuminate a wider patch and add intensity in front of the car without being blinding to oncoming traffic.
Castrol Syntech or Mobil One in 5w30 for the Volvo and 10w30 for the Ford. Mainly because I'm a lazy bastard that hates doing oil changes and the stuff lasts twice as long as regular oil. That, and I've had cars run over 400k using them exclusively.
A brake caliper on my T-5R was not releasing correctly and I got a used one for $70. I think the other side needs replacing now too.
We've had all sorts of problems with Bosch reman alternators. They worked really well until Volvo put the alternator on the CAN network. The reman ones have a ton of trouble making the right charging voltage.
Earlier today I went under an overpass that was dripping melting snow. A few seconds later, water began streaking down the INSIDE of my windshield. It was entering pretty much dead center of the glass, where the rearview mirror is. It was also entering over on the passenger side (right side, American car). I've looked online and seen that this isn't an uncommon issue with Volvo glass it looks like.
