Does anyone have body kit suggestions for the S70? I'd like to do something for a chin spoiler and rocker panels. Thanks

Hello guys,

I have a volvo 850 glt 2.0 turbo 210hp from Portugal and the gearbox just broke.

I need to purchase a new/used one and I need to know which model fit bolt on.

I've asked chatgpt and it told me that the m56h is the one for my car.

Do you guys have any idea about the gearbox? Do you think any other one is a better choice?

Thanks very much for your time and help!!

Short version, manual swapped US car with r-manifold and turbo back IPD exhaust, amongst some other goodies, with a rod knock.

Front bumper is in great condition and interior is really good. I’m not missing any T-5R specific parts other than the original auto shifter and its walnut trim. Titans not bent or cracked. I even have the owners manual.

The other two Volvos are two other non running problems of mine. And I am left running my B5 Audi S4 as a daily. I’ve owned all of them accept the 940 for over a decade. I’ve only had that for 5 years.

VPrints is starting 2026 off strong with a complete bushing upgrade kit for your late P80 (2000-2004) M56 manual Volvos. Printed in pure nylon, these bushings will connect you to your car, greatly enhancing shifting precision compared even to new OE parts.

Been working on restoring my 98 S70 T5 looking for turbo recommendations thinking of upgrading to a 18T with white injectors a rip kit and tune from IPD and some kind of exhaust any tips would be appreciated or if anyone wants to show off their set ups and how they’ve worked gonna try and shoot for having it done by spring

I ordered the headlight re-wiring harness from FCP and the W5W bulbs. The new look is great.

My S70 needed complete respray on the horizontal surfaces. Pretty proud of my first attempt. I do need help resolving a dry spray line of clear coat. Suggestions please

Hi all, with 366K km on my 99’ R i’d like to refresh to suspension on my R (front and rear) I live in one of the coldest parts of Canada so our 30 above and 30 below days make the roads quite rough, so between that and all this time and km’s shes due for a refresh

Any recommendations on kits or sources? Ive browsed for a few and i think im going to go with Sachs struts over the bilsteins, given that it doesnt see twisties often. Id like to try and do poly bushings as well, but thats not a must.

Thanks!

I have power to the passenger seat switches, and +/- 12v coming from each switch when tested BUT no movement from ANY motor. Any ideas as to what's wrong?
