Volvo parts reviews

I drive the same car and drive in rain seven months of the year and snow frequently when going skiing and the Nokian Hakka R3s take all the fun out of it. The remove the drama of water over the road, and sadly, near completely remove one's ability to drift across snowy parking lots. Even in the worst weather I am limited more by cars around me than I am my own confidence when driving this combination of Swedish and Finnish (I think) brilliance.

I had my timing belt done by not a Volvo specialist specifically, but a “European brand” mechanic. They used an Aisin pump / Gates belt kit and life is good.

Borla muffler (No drone. Very nice rumble). The damn thing drives smooth and there is not a rattle or shake to be found.

I too have used powerstops with more than satisfactory results. Shorter stopping distances with less brake dust.

I've used powerstops and bosch on my xc60. Braking performance felt slightly improved from the OEM for both. The powerstops (Z23 model) are also significantly less dusty, while the bosch pads produced about the same amount of dust as the OEM.

I used to run them on my S60R and really liked them. For the price they were decent. Not quite as quiet or grippy as some more expensive tires, but they've been my go-to for "slightly cheaper" tires for a while.

The oem volvo ones are all I've found, I just settled on those for my s90 cuz the guys at auto zone gave up trying everything that claimed it would fit...

Had one, an 850 Turbo wagon. Even with fancy Koni FSD shocks added, the thing still rode like a garbage truck and spirited cornering was a myth.. and still I loved that damn wagon.

Yeah, get rid of those: autolite is junk.

Volvo S40 Headlights are not bright - I have recently changed them and its still not much better.
