TO ALL
Thanks to everyone for all the help over the last 5 years. This site was a great help to me while I owned my XC. The advice helped me get thru a number of problems. And I certainly had my fair share.
It is sort of funny. I haven't been on this site for a while. Not because I hadn't had any problems but because I was on other sites looking at new cars.
I thought I would return last night to sign off and take this site off my "favorites" list. Something made me sign on and I got a kick out of reading all the posts about problems people have been having. I would read thru and say "I had that or I remember dealing with that".
Boy it is a shame really. A car that has so much potential unfortunately just didn't live up to it. I must admit I will miss those seats and that AWD system is second to none when it comes to cars. But the oil leaks, the A/C problems, the door panels, the coolant leaks, the clunking when shifting into high gear, the turn signals, check engine lights, rough idling, and on and on......I won't miss. I remember when we bought this car my wife and I thought we were buying a car that would get us thru two kids worth of college. OH well..
Anyway I am getting away from my point.
Thanks again for all the help and suggestions. I can't imagine how tough it would have been if not for being able to get info thru this site. Keep up the good work. Volvo owners need you.
And with that I say goodbye.
