Callie asked:


I just bought a 2000 volvo V70, and even when the light switch is at 0 the daylights are on. Can you turn them off? Talk about inconvenient.

What could cause this heater problem in a Volvo 940?

Friday, July 29th, 2011
volvo
What? asked:


When turned on, the heater makes a rumbling noise and doesn’t blow very well. It, unsurprisingly, gets louder the higher the blower is set. I believe it to be a blockage of some sort, but, I don’t quite know what it could be and don’t want to tear apart the dash while not wanting my buddy to pay a ton of cash to a Volvo garage to get it fixed either. Any help?
BTW: It’s apparently been going on for a while. I suspect a blockage, but, could it also be a door of some sort being stuck?

ml asked:


I found a very, very well maintained 2001 Volvo XC 70 Cross county on craigslist. The owner has all of the records on it, and says it is in excellent condition. I have two small children and can not afford to buy a car that will soon fall apart on me. What do you think? She is asking $4600 OBO, what should I offer her?

When I sell my honda, is a used Volvo a good choice?

angel g asked:


I’m planning on selling my 02 honda civic ex pretty soon. Once I get her sold…I was thinking of getting an older Volvo. I’ve heard they are great cars, especially the older ones. Does anyone have any experience with them or advice? thanks!
I know, I know…selling an 02 honda to basically trade down sounds totally moronic but I’m in a HUGE financial bind. I need to try to sell the car, keep some of the $ & get something cheaper. I’d keep the honda forever if it were not for this obnoxious (family court) issue that is bleeding me dry financially…..any other CONSTRUCTIVE ideas would be wonderful! thanks for all the great feedback so far ;0)

Calvin asked:


More specifically, the Volvo XC90. What would a Volvo compare to a Chevy Tahoe or GMC Yukon in terms of repair costs?

Fan_Of_MsInd84 asked:


If I took a US model LHD Volvo S80 V8 to India, now that India is offering Volvo-India cars, will I get service or parts available for my car? For nothing personal but the US models have way better options engine,interior or accesories than the ones being offered in India.
