r/VolvoXC70

Hey all! I bought a 2015.5 T6 a couple months ago and it is a fantastic machine. A few things that need work (a small vibration I cannot figure out, most likely the tires), but one that I cannot find any information on is how to adjust the HID headlights. The driver side is way too low, and in general it feels like I'm out-driving my lights above 80km/h, which sucks since I drive a lot a night. If anyone knows how to adjust it so I can actually see more than 2 seconds ahead that'd be great.

Must park next to one :)

Is this normal? I changed the steering fluid, but it’s still hard when steering. It’s always been hard. Is it okay or how hard should it be?

Ik heb een Volvo XC90. Ik heb een probleem: ook al heb ik de spanrol en de riem twee keer vervangen, er is nog steeds een brommend/zeurend geluid dat lijkt te komen uit de achterkant/motorruimte.

Ik krijg niet voor elkaar te achterhalen waar het vandaan komt. Ik heb ook de hulpmotorriem (aux-riem) weggehaald om accessoires uit te sluiten, maar het geluid lijkt nog steeds uit de motorruimte te komen.

Als iemand iets soortgelijks heeft meegemaakt, zou ik echt je hulp waarderen.

Alvast bedankt.

New Volvo XC70 owner here. I went to my local independent auto shop that I have been going to for years and I've built a great relationship with these mechanics. For some extra background, I've done $1200+ of repairs prior to give this tank some extra care and longevity. I love this car (currently at 220,000 miles) and got it passed down from my uncle) and only pay insurance for it. Based on the market of used cars today, I really don't like the idea of a car note and I would still like my car to truck through 300,000 miles. Would these repairs provide me with that good feeling of "hell yeah, that was worth it" in the long run or should I still look for something more reliable down the road and find a more modern car? At the moment, weighing my cost options and financial plans for the future, I'm leaning towards really putting in more work into this car because $3-4k in repairs seems 1000% more appealing than finding a good used car that still might be pricey. Down the road I feel like I can still squeeze out a ton more life out of this beast of a car. Any recommendations for this car in the future?

is this a special model ?

Seul problème qui n’est pas qu’un petit soucis, 300 km après la sortie de la concession un voyant de pression d’huile c’est affiché et le moteur à casser
Je suis dégoûté et ne c’est pas de quoi ça vient même si je soupçonne le PCV ou un tendeur de chaîne de distribution.

Land Rover transplant here. For years I’ve been Volvo-curious and I finally took the plunge. Picked up this XC70 for $1k from a retired aerospace engineer who meticulously maintained it over the years. 3rd photo is the spreadsheet he kept and updated with each service and repair. He also included all service records. Right now she’s sitting at 200k miles and I’m hoping to get at least another 100k out of it - but from what I’ve seen in this sub, I may get even more!

This is gonna be an occasional driver/project car. My goal is to turn this in to an overland/mountain ride for weekend camping and hiking trips. Planning on adding a lift, some A/T tires, roof rack and exterior lamps. The basics for that sort of thing.. however I want to make sure shes mechanically sound before I do any of that.

Super clean inside and out with minor cosmetic wear. The worst is a tiny dent on the driver door and a little whistle coming from the sunroof. Currently runs and drives like a dream! Adding some window tint asap (to beat the Vegas sun) and hopefully a new touchscreen car-play device to replace the very outdated stereo.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

There are indents on the doors that need to be filled.

2014, D4, 5 cylinder, Summum.
Car has vibrations over 120km/h. Hopefully just those old tires. Engine and transmission smooth as butter.

Volvo purists look away, its 2026.

Back in 2021 (18,249km ago) i installed this TFT screen which displays and audible alarm OBD2 speed Battery Coolant and CEL's. The most important was an overheating coolant alarm but have also experienced an alternator failure that was very slow to alert me. The speed display is very handy and only takes a quick glance as i know exactly where to look.

Just picked up "Goldie" (Luna gold) from a Volvo specialist. It's more like a light green to me in person. What a colour! 🟢

2006 years with 111000km+ mileage.

Currently I'm looking to install android auto & Apple car play and rear camera for parking (never drove such a long wheel base car as a new driver)

Any recommendations are highly appreciated.

Thank you 🙏🏻

Do you guys got any styling ideas I’ve been thinking about a bonnet wind deflector and wind deflector on the door windows
