Listing: https://vprintsus.etsy.com/listing/1831997858 Upgrade your Volvo 740, 760, 780, and 940 series vehicles with VPrints premium dash cupholder solutions. Our innovative system replaces the ashtray with a durable, single-piece design featuring up to 3 cupholders. Five configurations of this product are available in two materials/finishes: please review the listing images to determine what's best for you. Additionally, at your request PRIOR to ordering this product can be fully customized with different colors, cup sizes, gauge mounts, and other features. Installation takes minutes with no tools required. Note this cupholder does utilize the latching mechanism off the ashtray (PN 3519274), thus an ashtray is needed to install this part. Additionally, if your 12V plug cubby (above the ashtray) is loose, it is HIGHLY recommended that you also purchase our "Volvo Dash Cubby Repair Kit (740/940 series)", otherwise the cupholder may not stay secure. This product is crafted from thermal, UV, and impact-resistant ASA & ASA-CF (carbon fiber) plastic. Note only certain variants are compatible with manuals.

Hello all. just wanted to give all you fellow Volvo folks a heads up that my C30 Polestar #83 is up for sale on Cars & Bids. I'm the original owner with a very low mileage of 38,100. Please check it out and if you know of someone looking let them know. I will still have my 240 wagon and my V70 wagon just no longer have a garage we down sized. Love our Volvo's!!! The auction ends this Friday at 4:00 PM EDT. If you are bidding best of luck. Here is the link: 2013 Volvo C30 Polestar Limited Edition VIN: YV1672MK4D2308516 for Sale - Cars & Bids

I have a beautifully preserved 2009 S40, model 2.4 (140 hp) automatic gear, but unfortunately the high mileage has taken its toll and the engine requires a complete overroll. I assume that the transmission (gearbox) is also suffering from material fatigue, although no failure has occurred. I happened to come across an interesting offer, so I would love to hear and take your advice on the technical aspect: a S60 that got a total loss following an accident in the rear side, the engine is a 2.4 T5 producing 280 hp with an automatic transmission (B5244T5) that has barely covered 90 thousand km. The owner is the first person who buy it from the dealership at the time. And in the context of negotiations with him (the seller), the cost of purchasing a complete vehicle is slightly lower than the cost of the overroll work and stuff by the mechanic. I'm definitely excited about the idea, but in a practical way I'd love to hear the level of chances of success without surprising adventures. So I'll ask a little bit questions to understand and have a explain: Does the central electrical harness (loom) of the engine and transmission connect directly to the harness of the body BCM and the interior of the car? are the motor and gear mounts locations in the the same plase location in the front compartment? The fuel pump is submerged in the tank, replacing the entire housing with the current tank is a one-to-one fit? Besides the radiator, the location of the cooler, the exhaust pipe will require additional modifications besides the entire engine compartment, one after one from the S60 to the S40 engine compartment.. Also, if the swap (and it is likely) was done earlier, I would love to receive links and documentation of they project in order to learn and see (and be impressed) by they work.. Thanks in advance, Jessy

Yeah now that im about to jump back into working on the car I mineaswell. Need to pop the dash cover off anyways to replace the dead cluster, so ill route some nicer cables through the dash to the back of the headunit that ill be replacing soon as well. Need to fish all the old dash cam wiring out as well since my blackvue finally fell apart after what feels like 5-6 years. (The unit pictured has a forward facing camera on it, and has a rear back up cam that doubles as a rear dash cam). Have a few things on the shelves to put on over the next couple of months as well. Was fun working on the car for the short time I did over the weekend, forgot how it felt.

Really well honestly, and the engine bay is so nicely done I took photos so I can redo mine haha.

how's that paint job holding up?

neat, gonna do a full wire tuck?

Finally somewhat finished the center dash speaker holder for a heads up display. Need to make some tweaks, and fish the wiring to the back of the radio for a cleaner look, but it worked out for my drive to a meet over the weekend.

Some how this post isnt archived lol. Anyways, saw the old ride over the weekend.

Hi All, I've been trying to put back together my 2000 S40 after I sold it, then bought it back again after it was rear ended. I have everything I need except for one part, 30882711 Rear Bumper Impact Bar. This is the part that fits between to bumper cover and the impact bar. I've been trying to find this part everywhere through the internet, but no luck. Unfortunately this was the first year the S40 was sold in the States, and after 2001 they changed the design enough so that the newer parts were not backwards compatible. If anyone has any ideas on where, or how I can acquire one it would really help a lot. Sincerely, Steve

v40 may have more limited options due to being 4 lug but those are certainly nice. I dont think too many folks on here ever had v40's. You might have more luck on Swedespeed, looks like they tried to absorb the s40 concepts forum members when that site shut down. https://www.swedespeed.com/threads/welcome-s40concepts-members.151738/

I suppose this is "performance" related... I'm an engineer so know the importance of rotational weight! Looking for ideas on wheels (rims in Australia). Currently thinking of OZ Racing which are easy to get here, specifically Superturismo style: Looks good, right? What do other people have?

So I've inherited my Dad's V40 T4 which was originally mine about 10 years ago! He wanted something newer. I have an Alphard as a daily, so looking to have fun with this car despite not knowing too much technically about Volvos and Volvo performance. I'm thinking the best way forward is a decent turbo. TD04-19T... GTX2867R...? Not really limited by budget, so looking to get the most out of the car in general, starting from increasing HP and then will set the car up with coilovers or whatever needs to be done to make it serious. Any thoughts and opinions welcome....

What injectors? Any head work, improved intercooler, etc? The GTX35 will do it, but you will be closer to 4000 for it to come on boost.

Hi everyone. I have not been on in some years. I had started a build in 2019 on my s70 after the head gasket blew. My goal was to have a vehicle producing between 500-700hp at the wheels. I bought forged connecting rods and pistons, as well as inconel valves and Darton Sleeves. Also bought a quaife lsd and stage 3 clutch. I had a td05 20g turbo, but i ended up selling it. I got the block machined, and the internals installed. Covid hit during the middle of all of that, and the project has been sidelined or slow going ever since. I want to put a Garrett turbocharger on the engine, specifically a gtx3582, as I can achieve the power numbers I am looking for with that turbo. Alternatively, I am looking at gtx3076. Regardless of which one I get, what hardware will I need to get to install this on the engine and downpipe? My downpipe is an obx, with full obx exhaust. Also going to get a hilton tune. I would really appreciate you alls help with this, as I have never done something like this.

Want to post an update, to keep the forum alive. All is fine! I have put the car together already Oct. 24 but it remained in storage until recently. During last weekend I drove it 200km and everything is just fine. Shifts nicely, clutch engages easily, no slip, no noise, no vibration.... I assume they just changed the design of the flywheel, maybe to fit to some newer Ford products, whatever.

Definitely report back, id love to know too.

Unfortunately theres no scrapyard nearby where I can test it. Thanks for your input, I think I'll just buy it and see if it fits.

Any salvage yards nearby with the same car in it? Grab a wheel off and try to swap it onto a s/v/c or 850. Your biggest concern would be the spline shaft the wheel slides onto, as long as thats the same, it should go on no problem. Honestly I do not know, but I would think the shafts would be fairly universally the same. I know you can put P2 wheels on P80s, so id think a p1 wheel would also fit. iirc I have a S90 wood grain wheel on my 98 s70.

Hi everyone, I drive a V70 mk1 from 1997 and I'm looking for a wooden steering wheel. Does the wheel from a Volvo V40 / S40 fit into the v70 1? And does the Airbag from the V70 fit onto the V40 wheel? I mean this wheel specifically https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/volvo-v40-s40-wurzelholz-lederlenrad/3003916608-223-2021 Thanks in advance for any tips!

Still have this beautiful car?
