Emails were exchanged, phone calls were made and money changed hands. It's a 1998 Volvo V70R. First year for Volvo's flagship hotrod under that name. Purchased from a mid 60-ish Volvo enthusiast with 109k miles. Everything works as it should. Timing belt was done when it was supposed to be done. PCV system is working as it should. A/C works
Perhaps the V70 R had added practicality in it's favour but the S60 R was never going to work. Can't believe Volvo have stuck with the formula today. Wonder how many S60 Polestar's they've sold.
S70 – Replace Water Pump. Perhaps this may be obvious to the seasoned DIY’er’s or even some regular guys like me but after mulling it over and with the help of a couple of links I decided to tackle the Water Pump replacement by removing only the Hydraulic Tensioner. There were many other excellent links in the various Volvo forums (this
I believe these two cars are the archetypes for the Saab and Volvo brands: a hatchback and a wagon, respectively. When most people think "Saab" or "Volvo," these are the models they will likely imagine. (Unless they're weirdos who think of Sonetts or Amazons.) That's why I'm nominating the Viggen and the V70R as future classics.
I talked to the older gentleman (estimate 55-65 years of age) it was his 3rd Volvo wagon - and he is currently driving a 2013 S60 R-design(his 4th volvo) - he's had always the "sporty version" of volvo. So I'm pretty sure that means every one was an R dating back to the 850 R or maybe earlier.
Top of the new range at launch was the T5, a turbocharged five-cylinder sporting model with 230bhp on tap, and little visual clue to its near 150mph capability. Two years later, that was trumped by the T5R. And it was this car that that really caused people to sit up and take notice. With a wheelspin-inducing 250bhp from its turbocharged 2435cc
Under its hood, the Volvo V70R has a 2.5-liter turbocharged five-cylinder engine rated at 300 hp and 295 lb-ft. At least it does with the six-speed manual, Car and Driver reports. Automatic-equipped models only make 258 lb-ft. As a result, the manual V70R goes 0-60 mph in less than six seconds, Road & Track reports.
For the year 2004Total number of V70 R and S60 R imported to the U.S. V70 R Auto = 1024 V70 R Man = 541 S60 R Auto = 1531 S60 R Man = 1931 Source: Volvo email
For example, the P2 S60 and V70 were made on a few different production lines, but the high performance S60R and V70R were only ever made at Volvo's Ghent factory in Belgium. In cases where the easiest way to determine correct fitment is by the plant at which the car was assembled, Volvo will often indicate it with a Factory Code, or FC.

Sprinting from 0-62 MPH in just 5.9 seconds, the V70 R was electronically limited to top out at 155 MPH. Combine it with a very reasonable MSRP of about $40,000, and you have a wagon quicker than the V8 Audi Avant, with more real-world capability than the gas-chugging AMG Estate, according to this Volvo press release kit.
Elsewhere, the C30 is a safe, reliable, and handsome three-door hatchback with one of the best-looking tailgates in recent history. The design of the car took inspiration from Volvo's 2001 SCC, or "Safety Concept Car," which itself pulled lines and shapes from Volvo's iconic 1800 ES shooting brake including the all-glass tailgate that was

The 2.5 turbo has no shortage of punch, but we were not able to get close to Volvo's claimed 5.9 seconds for the 0-100kmh sprint in the manual V70R. Add a second for a realistic figure.
