Gaff Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 The first part of the first post is a quote from a 1960's Volvo ad. I think he wants Volvos to be made to the same standards as they were 60s. Didn't they also come fitted with driver and passenger side houkas back then?

DanO Posted November 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Found NO RustProofig , as In There Was Both Before , Nott Now Just Lines !All pre-Ford Volvos built since the 240 have come with plastic fender liners in the front, not sure about the rears. My 00 V70 has partial rear liners. Don't have a clue about the post-Ford ones.The plastic liners do a pretty good job of keeping the water and road salt away from the metal, that's what they are there for.I'd love to see pictures of what you found when you removed the liners on your V50.

DanO Posted November 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Oh. Yeah and When the Wholes Come thur in 8-10 rs. instead of 16-18 yrs. You will be Spening $ 4000.00 to get it paintedrepaired etc. It will Be Comsmetic alright !Waxing Your Auto according to Volvo Is Yearly Maintenance .Okay.. too much color i think i am going to pass out from all the different colors. And i think he is ranting about something that is just dumb. For real and i dont think this is a cosmetic topic, more of a maintenance issue.

AGBullit235 Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Jesus Christ dude. Whew, take a deep breath and drink a beer.Remeber the rubber rust-proofing that used to be on the 240's, SAAB 900's? They did great protecting against the salt, etc until the rubber started to disintigrate and crack. Water would seep into these hairline cracks and trap moisture and contaminents under the coating. This accelerated the corrosion, hence why you'll find SAAB and old Volvo's that look great underneth until you poke around with a screwdriver. Don't worry, Volvo spends a millions a year on engineers who have far more qualification than most of us here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
