hi dude;

I'm a volvo owner ( old model 240 91' injection B200E / 740 92' turbo B230FT still under restore ) normally we look for certain parts shop like VAUTO/VSUPER/ and others for such thing.. my Bosch wiper just cost me around rm30++ a pair.. timing belt original rm67, oil filter original rm25/30 and so on..

FA is official and all charges yeah.. expensive haha..

for mechanic and repairs, u may look for some of our recommended workshop+mechanics.. not expensive of course.. he do 240/740/940 RWD and also s40/s60/s80/xc90 and other volvos.. Mercedes also can.. in Jln Bukit Kuda Klang.. Pm me for more details, and i"ll post some pics here later.. even today I'll go there to replace my long shaft coupling full set ( also called U JOINT ).. my car is already 23 years old, previous owner not care musch of maintenance, so after buy, i need to maintain and replace all worn out parts, oil/seal etc.. just done replace timing belt, alternator ( kaput ), alternator belt, engine oil ( cheap mineral SAE40 is ok for 240 ), oil filter, gearbox oil, light relays and few more..

It's good to see that long lasting parts, just need to replace after 10/15/20/25 years!! thats volvo.. legendary bricks, safety and smooth to drive

VOLVO FOR LIFE!

My noob knowledge, 2.0+turbo producing 200hp is common, like japs cars.. yeah body is 2.3 tonnes but it can carry it.. maybe u not plan to race the car with it. Old model like 240 with 1.8 tonnes body weight, got much lower hp, N/A around below 130hp but still can have a safe and fun ride.. latest model have better power of course.. but so far I'm stick to old models, it's cheap to own for a poor man like me

S60 is a good and sporty car, shouldn't have this issue, need to check on your rear suspension ( shock absorbers / spring ), all bush and also sway/anti-roll bar condition..

my experience on my previous 240, it's because of worn out rear shock absorbers, replace it and problem solved!
