Hi everyone!
After my sister wrecked my '92 240GL (227,000 miles), I was Volvo-less for the last 6 months. Well, my Jeep started acting funny and I was ready for a new car so I began browsing to see what was out there, Euro-wise, that would make a great commuter car. I looked at VWs, BMWs, Audis, etc. and ultimately was lead back to Volvos for reliability reasons. I don't like the S60, I think it looks like a mutated 1st generation S80, which is too big. I ended finding a 2000 S70 GLT SE with 50,500 miles! 1-owner, no wrecks! I jumped on it. Mechanically it seems great. Even though it's low-mileage, it still has 10 years worth of dings, chips, etc.
So after 2 weeks of ownership, I have discovered several quirks I want to address:
1) The power door locks work when they want. It appears to be the actuators?
2) The door panels are delaminating, is there a 'quick fix' for this?
3) The Antenna works when it wants. I know I can replace it, but is there a more modern fix? Like a 'shorty' VW style antenna?
Thanks!
-Chad
