Thanks! They were the special for Volvo 19” K-PAX Racing BBS CK’s.

Mine didn’t either, though I think you can set the lights to stay on for a short period after locking….it may work then, I will have to try it out.

@@petejr7583 Yes thats the "leaving home" light where it will stay on for a bit and it will do the leaving animation on the head/taillights. But it's just that every time you press "lock" it simply just turns off all the lights, which I don't get why that's the case but maybe its a EU vs US-law difference.

Yep, need to remove the resonator….

@@petejr7583 ye that's what I did and it sounds pretty good ngl

Do you have a serious question or comment, or are you just a smartaz? What is the title of the vid?

@@petejr7583 "Me driving my volvo back and forth" should be better Or maybe "Volvo V60 in reverse gear"

Thanks. My other vid has me revving it (some dudes complained that I didn't have a sound clip of the car driving away so..). ruclips.net/video/gXfv6jr8g8g/видео.html Unfortunately this exhaust system doesn't provide a lot more sound than stock, at least to my preference (I think too EU restricted?). I mean you'll notice that it's definitely better, sportier in car and out, but not head turning. The cold start isn't that bad either. Some friends have the Borla/KPAX which sounds A LOT better. I should have saved $1,400 and just had the resonators or the muffler removed. Btw, I traded this V60 for an '18 V90 T6 Rdesign. It had almost no sound, except the crap 4 cylinder raucous when I hit higher RPM's. It really could have used a nice aftermarket exhaust, but then it would still sound like a low rent Honda. So I just traded that in for an AMG GLC 43 with an OEM loud as shit variable exhaust system. That V6 turbo sounds like it's ready for Le Mans (I know, it's a crossover, but it's fun!). Other than the Polestar cars, Volvo really sucks when it comes to OEM exhausts.

Tror Pete Jr inte förstod svenska

Rivo Aedma yes, there was a layer of ice below the snow. Still, once I manual shifted to 3rd gear, it climbed fine. This year I put on Conti WinterContact Si to handle the ice.

Nope, just better all season tires (4 season tires). I don't need snow tires for 2-3 snows a year. I replaced the original tires with Pirelli Cinturato "Plus" all season, and they work great. You also have to know how to use the Volvo Haldex AWD, by manually shifting into a higher gear, like 3rd, to lesson the torque.

Pete Jr all season really means that they suck in all seasons

Yes, the OEM Pirelli P7 Cinturato's were pretty bad in the snow and ice, but I also had to learn how to drive Haldex AWD properly.

This is not true. It completely depends on which all season tires and if you know how to drive. I now use Pirelli P7 Cinturato Plus tires, which have been great in the rain and snow. Another key is the manually shift the car into 3rd gear if you're spinning going up hill. These cars have a lot of low-end torque so you have to mitigate that with lower RPM's at the start. I don't live in the frozen tundra, so I"m not investing my money in a separate set of dedicated snow tires and rims for 3 months and 2 snows.

Pete Jr Well I do live in the frozen tundra and all season tires can only handle so much snow and ice. Once the tread becomes full of snow and it's frigid outside they don't grip well no matter what brand you have. I owned a Subaru Impreza before and even with AWD it struggled on all season tires once the temps fell. Now wet slushy snow is another thing. All season and AWD can handle that with easy

boondox max I don't live in the tundra, that's my point...cool if you live up north, otherwise why would you invest in snow tires for a few months and a few snows a year, but have average handling tires when it's dry. Regardless, why would I drive my lowered sport wagon in such rough conditions? To be a $55K smurf blue snow plow, then get stuck, snow tires or not? Dumb! These 4 season P7 Plus tires are awesome in most weather including few inch snow covered roads where I live. I just blasted up I95 through heavy snow and snow covered roads completely stable and secure, at speed. Of course I've driven in snow conditions since 1984, in rear wheel drive, whatever; most clowns these days don't have a clue how to handle snow. Once I figured out how to drive this Haldex AWD car up hills in snow, it's a piece of cake, with only good all season tires. Anyway, your blanket opinion on these tires is misinformed. Some all season tires are better than others. If I had only a front wheel drive car around here, mid-Atlantic, or if I lived where there's often snow and snow covered roads like up north, Id get dedicated snow tires. I still doubt I'd drive my lowered firm suspension sporty car in that crap though. That's what the lifted truck, jeep, crossover or SUV is for.

It is good, though not as good as quattro. You still need good all season or winter tires and know to put the car manually in a higher gear on inclines, to avoid slip and too much traction control override since there is no "snow mode" any longer. In this video I drove in full auto relying on the Haldex and traction control, so you see too much wheel spin. Later I put the gear in manual (sport mode) and upshifted to 3rd gear which gave the car immediate traction with no problems. Audi quattro is kind of the same, in that it works better when you disable the full traction control, and let the all wheel drive handle clawing for traction. The main benefit to the Volvo's Haldex 5 is that it is able to electronically distribute power to any wheels where needed, "torque vectoring", for better cornering performance. It also gets better fuel economy since most of the drive power is in the front wheels during regular driving, until slipping is detected, then power is distributed. Most Audi quattros, not Haldex Audi's, distribute 50% to front and rear, all the time, unless traction requires further distribution, which uses more fuel.

Pete Jr yeah but you mean quattro torsen,right

yes, I don't count transverse engined Audi's as having a true quattro system (torsen). these (mostly "A" body) Audi's use the Haldex 5, like Volvo and many others. btw, i've owned 3 Audi's with true quattro AWD.

@@petejr7583 is this volvo permanent Four wheel drive? Not like the new cars awd but drive in frontwheel

@@Wleez its frontwheel based and engages when slip.

+Robert Smith LOL..you The Cure lead singer? I saw you perform at the Capital Center DC in 1996! You should move around on stage more, pretend to enjoy yourself (and help me stay awake). ;) So smart less than Americans (wherever you're from) would invest over 1K on winter specific tires and probably wheels for two snow falls per year? Driving the rest of the winter on crap performing winter tires? Not shown, but the car actually climbed great when manually shifted to 3rd gear allowing the AWD to perform with less torque driven wheel spin to manage. I did however replace this OEM set of all season tires with Pirelli P7 Cinturato "Plus" all seasons. They have excellent winter precip and ice grip, and yes, the rubber compound is designed to handle lower than freezing temperatures.
